Probably made by GWP.
Well, I'm guessing that it is!
This is one of the clearest stereograms I've seen for a long time.
What is really clever is that the front part of the object is transparent and you can see through to the back part.
This makes it a really enjoyable thing to see - if you can!
Definitely Gary's Rick, it says so along the top of the stereogram ;) But I agree it's a great one.

One of my favorites too. We did a Yin & Yang week since we have these coming out of our... computers.
I used the Photo Tool > Select Color to Edit to drop out the black portion of the overlay to create the transparency. Gene and I have been making these for over 20 years and I am still learning.
The attached used the same technique.
And we're still enjoying ;)
Wow, Gary, they're both gorgeous and delightful to look at for a longer time than just, "Oh, nice, I can see what it is!"
We post a new stereogram every day and most of those are new, a few old ones. If you do not follow us, please do. https://www.facebook.com/Eyetricks3DStereograms/
I can see the back clearly in post #1 Gary but the one in #4 is so relaxing to look at, I love it. :cool:

Brilliant Gary, Brilliant.
Both of those are excellent.
What program do you use to create them?
I create/build the depth images and the repeating patterns in Xara, then use Stereographic Suite to create the stereograms. In the case of the two images here, I brought the stereograms back into Xara to create the transparent overlays which were different stereograms.
The developer of Stereographic Suite is a Russian programmer who has used input from Gene Levine, my stereogram partner, and me to fine tune the features to the way we work. Sadly, the developer hoped this would be his road to retirement but there just are not enough stereogram artists to make the program profitable.
Perhaps some crowdfunding action might ease this shortfall a bit. I pledge 10 euros.Quote:

I guess I misunderstood your post. Glad to hear that he was able to move on and generate other sources of income.
Here's a good example of how I use Designer Pro X after I have created a stereogram (in this case two stereograms)
The blue image was added on top of the stars image. Screen transparency was added to to the blue image. The result is transparent space.
The nature of stereographic images is there is no transparency, only solid shapes. So by combining two or more images, the illusion of transparency can be achieved.
I don't know what's special about that stereogram, but normally when I view them they are inverted (I assume) as they appear to recede into the page. That's the first one I've ever seen that appears to be coming out of the page.
You're viewing the image cross eyes. The center of the image should appear to be going in not coming out. I estimate about 10% of the people view the images cross eyes which in some cases can be confusing.
Attached is the final image (after two or three days of tweaking).
Get as close to the monitor as you can without leaving a nose print. Your focus should be very blurry. Then without changing your focus, move very slowly away from the screen and see if you can view the image in "parallel". If you succeed you will see the image how it was designed to be viewed.
That's the problem, I cannot physically NOT change the focus. My eyes/brain just won't let me do it.Quote:
