I'm looking for software to edit 2D images and create stereo 3D ones, by means of specifying the depth of different parts of the image. The way I've done it before is to map the 2D image on a height-map in a 3D editor, then render two viewpoints to make the .jps file, but there's got to be a better way.

Try 3dcombine shareware
http://www.3dcombine.com
It enables you to create a grayscale
depth map you can save it's a sort of painting
utility that overlays your 2d image
then it uses the depth map
to convert the 2d image in to a 3d jps

Interesting. I drew a depthmap (easier to do in an external program, but nevertheless very time consuming for a detailed and consistent map) and applied it, and it works, sort of. Areas in the new view that had been occluded in the original need to be redrawn, but I suppose there's no other way. The sampling is pretty noisy, however, with lots of dots and aliasing. Looks like the new image is created by sampling pixel by pixel from the old one. This would look much better if good interpolation was used, such as Lanczos (that's what IrfanView uses when resizing images, much better than bicubic in Photoshop).

Autodesk's Inventor series is OpenGL based and will allow you to draw in 2D and convert to 3D. You can animate your moving parts ie. gear to gear, folcrum movment, explode, ect... You can also use Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering. The learning curve is pretty steep if you're not accustomed to AutoCAD and it's derivatives. Fortunatly the tutorials are very comprehensive. I use Inventor5 but the series is up to Inventor8.

A nice way to generate those images is to create 3 Layers (one R, one G, one B) in photoshop, and then use the smear-finger tool (I´m using the german version, so I have to guess the english name)you can move parts of the red channel to teh right or to the left, and if you´re very carefull, you can model a 3D version, but there´s still the problem with overlapping background parts.

Try looking at the displace filter in photoshop, it allows you to create a 'map' which will nudge a layers pixels.

I've tried this to create 2D->3d and the effects are quite impressive.
