Click in the applet to stop the auto rotation
- drag the mouse left and right to rotate the object
- drag the mouse up and down to change the angle of the object
- If you are not seeing anything, insure your browser allows Java applets to run
Works best with anaglyph 3D glasses.

I've done this with tools freely available online:
Truespace 3 is a great modeling and animation package. Newer versions are now for sale but this is still a very empowering tool, and it is free.
You can download Truespace 3 directly from Caligari. I used Truespace to create the model, and generate animations of the viper rotating.Using a virtual camera in
Truespace, I framed the animations and exported the images as *.jpg.After offsetting the camera to simulate the
difference between a left and right eye view of the scene, I exported the
second set of images.
Anabuilder is a great freeware
application that can create stereoscopic 3D pictures from pairs of left/right
images. Anabuilder can create individual
3D images very well, but what sets this apart from other similar applications
is the ability to process batches of files. This is great if you are working with frames
for an animation. Anabuilder’s batch mode was used to merge the images
generated by Truespace into a series of anaglyph pictures.
JavaC3D is a shareware
application that can be used to generate object movies.Using sets of images, it generates a sprite
that can be manipulated in real-time.A banner remains visible with unregistered products, but it is fully functional
without any cost to the user. The
images generated by Anabuilder were imported in JavaC3D to create a multi-axis
object movie.
