So, my dad got a 3D TV, and I got a 3DS, so naturally the first thing I had to do was try and convert some of my images so they really were 3D. The results are actually pretty spectacular for both the 3DS and the 3DTV.
Paradoxically, it was actually not that difficult to get the 3D image onto the 3DS, or at least, it was simpler to do than the TV. They use a .MPO format, which is basically two JPEGs in one file, whereas the TV uses a single JPEG with the images squashed horizontally by 50% and put side by side. Anyhow, you can download them both using the two images below to see and test for yourself.

Here's the MPO file (for 3DS):
and here's the SBS JPEG for LG3DTVs

Making the two images is relitively easy too. If you overlay the two, you'll see that the two images are different. That's because they're two separate renders, one from a 'left eye' camera, and one from a 'right eye' camera that is 7 relative centimeters from the left eye camera. This basically means you double the render time, so I won't be doing this for every image, but I'll do it for the majority. Ask me if you need to make your own, I'll happily help :)
