STEREOSCOPIC COMPUTER-ANIMATION TECHNIQUES BASED ON PERCEPTUAL CONSTRAINTS

A computer-implemented method for defining a range of bounding parameter values that satisfy perceptual constraints for a stereoscopically filmed computer-generated scene. A user selection of a bounding parameter from a set of scene parameters is selected. Values for scene parameters of the set of scene parameters that were not selected as the bounding parameter are obtained. A first bounding value for the bounding parameter is calculated based on a first perceptual constraint and based on the values of the scene parameters of the set of scene parameters that were not selected. A second bounding value for the bounding parameter is also calculated based on a second perceptual constraint and based on the values of the scene parameter of the set of scene parameters that were not selected. The first and second bounding values define a minimum and a maximum value of a range of values and are stored.
