If you don't know, you are supposed to cross your eyes and make the two image meet in the middle to create a 3d effect. Try it out. The girl is my lovely girlfriend.



There, I switched them, she should be popping out now, not the leaves

I'm usually pretty good at these, but I can't make them merge and pop. I wonder if it's too big? Maybe size the whole thing down to about 75% its current size and post again.

Might want to post via link, too, since its so large.

Very cool idea!

Done!

Worked for me!

If you take the pictures with the camera width further than normal eyes the 'pop' effect is more pronounced. Too much though and it's too hard to match the two images.

Hmm no luck getting my eyes to cooperate.

Coolest stereograms I've seen in a while were included in the cd jacket of Tool's last disc. Seen them? Excellent photos on their own and the 3d effect was even better.

I loooooooooooove looking at those, but this one doesn't happen for me :-(

I'd love to post mine in here, but don't want to hijack your thread.

Hijack away! I don't know why this isn't working for some people. It happens with me easy. Don't get so close to the monitor. The farther away, the less you have to cross your eyes

It works for me...
but this one is really weird, the highlights on her face seem to stick out and the backround seems closer the your girlfriend in some places, but i have ni clue why.
it could just be me

I tried yours again, but it just can't see it really well, and normally I have NO problem with them. Sowwy :-(

With your permission, here is my first attempt:

I think they are on the wrong side. I just switched them about in PS and it looked right to me then.

Owen, great detective work, you're right!
I just did that too, and now it works much better. The highlights on her face are bothering me, but the rest is all in nice 3D now.

Josh..... do you agree?
09/22/2006 08:00:40 PM · #12
Here's my attempt:



I also wrote a thread explaining how to make it happen:

They were definitely reversed. Drove me crazy until I switched them. Also, they were somehat off in rotation, so I rotated the RH one a little counterclockwise and that further improved the result.

I agree with kirbic.

This one gives me a headache... just needs some readjustment.
09/22/2006 11:09:02 PM · #15
Ah geez, my first attempt, don't kill me. I reversed them and she pops out instead of the greenery, which is a lot better. So, thanks for the tips. Oh, and I love the wooden figures 3d!!

Thanks again everyone. And kirbic, can you post the rotated version? please?
09/22/2006 11:12:57 PM · #16
I can't see any of them :-(
09/22/2006 11:20:28 PM · #17
For those who can't see them: it helps immensely to sit several feet back from the monitor.
09/22/2006 11:20:33 PM · #18
Well Leroy, for the longest time I couldn't see them either. Then one day, I practiced looking at both sides of my nose at the same time for as long as I could stand it, then lo and behold I did finally see one.

You could give that a try... it worked for me.

However, do make certain you either have headache pills close at hand... or perhaps even a hammer you can slam on your pinky to take your mind away from that headache you are sure to experience from this exercise.

Happy viewing.

I thought it would be fun to have a stereogram challenge, but then I figured it wasn't worth the headache.

Leroy is also legally blind, if I remember correctly, which is probably a leading factor to his not being able to view them. A friend of mine has the same problem, and another one is color-blind, which also affects these kinds of images (and those 3D computer generated ones).

Some people are just unable to see them.

On another note.. I used to have a blast doing these things up using a scanner (as I didn't have a digital camera at the time.) I'm going to have to re-try doing it with a camera now.. although I lost my tripod somehow.. and need a new one.
09/23/2006 01:00:24 AM · #22
Doh... I can never get these things to work :-(
09/23/2006 01:05:55 AM · #23
flipped the images...
09/23/2006 01:10:11 AM · #24
I guess I should start playing with a toy I bought a couple months ago:
