Hi all, you know lately there has been alot of progress in holography and 3d hologram hardware..

Which software would you suggest to design the 3d object and make it in a vid format so that it can be transfered to a hologram device.

Thanks in advance

You mean VR (virtual reality) glasses, stereoscopic displays and such? Because holograms are something completely different, and we do not have the technology yet to create true moving holograms. Only holograms on paper.

If you are looking for ways to create animations with 3d objects animated and export those to be used for VR glasses and/or 3d televisions, you must render your animations and process your videos in software that can handle stereoscopic rendering and processing.

Adobe doesn't have 3d software to render animations with a stereoscopic camera, so you will have to look elsewhere. Blender supports true stereoscopic rendering of 3d animated objects. It can render those animations to various stereo modes: anaglyphic, side-by-side, top-bottom, and interlace. It is also possible to render individual left and right eye videos/images for further processing in video editors and visual effects software that supports stereoscopic compositing.

One more option is to render a spherical stereo image that allows the viewer to look around a 3d rendered environment, but these have to be used in a 3d realtime renderer such as Unity, Unreal, or Godot.

Anyway, it sounds like you haven't got a lot of experience creating either 3d objects, nor how stereoscopic rendering and technology works. There is a learning curve ahead for you.

Still, download Blender at www.blender.org, learn the basics of Blender (will only take a couple of weeks if you are a complete beginner), and it's free!

Here are direct instructions how to create a stereoscopic panorama:

When you are rendering 3d images and videos in Blender, make sure to get a pair of anaglyphic glasses and colour correct your screen properly to view your 3d scenes in 3d while working on them.
