I was going through stereogram withdrawal and just couldn't take it anymore. Hopefully someone else, besides me, needs a 'fix', too.
Here's my latest hybrid creation completed using the new XXP5. All except for the actual generation of the mapped texture stereogram itself, that is. A warm thanks goes out to Bob Hahn for posting his 'Grass Brush' for all of us to use. Very nice indeed, while also being mighty handy.
Hope you can see 'em,

Here's the same stereogram done without using the extra mapped texture lines layer. For those that can see these things, please be sure to let me know which one you like better. I have my favorite but I'll keep that information to myself, for now. ;)
Enjoy,

Hi Harry. I am able to see both and I found the one sans lines easier to "see" and it is my personal preference. Nice work.
Saludos,
Bob.
The top one took me a bit to see but I finally got it. The second one took only a second but, perhaps, it's because I already knew what I was looking to see from the first one. Good job on these.
Nice work there....
Dito... Ie first one took me a while to get then...smooth sailing...
I have to confess though that I think i prefer the second one...
The first one is more obvious and thus easier to see probably but I think the "neon highlight" takes away from the subtlety of the hidden 3d thing...
i.e its part of the allure that its subtle but i can see why others prefer the 1st as it is very striking...
Well done.
Very clever that! It surprised me.
I prefer the 1st one although I can't seem to hold the image for long unlike Gary's images.
Top work HayTay.
great job, I like them both!
Great idea and very effectively created! The pinwheel foils seem so well suited to the effect. My eyes held on to the second one longer than any other I've seen. Usually I loose the effect in moments - this time I could sit back, move my head around and blink without loosing it.
Great stuff!

Yep works for me. I prefer No 1 as it seems to have more vivid colours.
Mind you it is late and I have had a couple of vodkas (I actually fnd that helps with stereograms).
Great job HayTay,I learned to see these things long ago, but the only way I can do it is almost touch the screen with my nose and then slowly back away. Then when I have it I can look all around the screen without losing the effect.
So with that said, I like both, although I personally prefer the second one, both are easy to see.
The extra line layer doesn't do anything for me.
I prefer the sans one myself, finding it easier both to see and to hold. All those lines just seem to get in the way of the image.
It's a cool sterogram, as is the original pin wheel image from the other thread. You've been busy :)
Those are great. Saw both quite easily but definitely prefer the second, without the lines.......
Interesting. I intended to agree with Burpee about the second being easier because I knew what to look for, however, I think the smoother edges of the second actually makes it easier to spot. It'd be interesting to see the difference if another 3D shape was inserted...:D
Good job, and good fun! Thanks.:)
Much better without the mapping. Much smoother. Good job.
They are very nice stereograms Harry, very colourful and creative.
It takes me a while to see them, but I can up close!

Thank you all for your generous and encouraging comments. It appears that it is (almost) unanimous in favor of the second version without the mapped lines. I must confess that is my favorite, also.
I'm currently working on a few more stereograms for your viewing pleasure, but I'm not as speedy as I'd like to be. I've heard it said before that, "first you get good, then you get fast." I guess that's true for most tasks. I'll keep plodding along.
L8r,
Harry
Likie very much Hay :) I like both, but the one without the extra mapping is easier on my old eyes. And I wonder to myself if I didn't have a heads up that it was a pinwheel if I would of seen it on my own...sigh. I can never see or figure them out. Keep it up and can't wait to see more.
Sorry for the slow response. I have been gone for a while.
Excellent Harry. Great drawing and depth.
Harry I thought I had already replied and mentioned how much I like your stereograms. Obviously I was mistaken and had not replied. :o
Both versions are great, although I like the one without the outlining best. :)
Islecul8er, Gary and Bill,
Thanks for the added comments, they are greatly appreciated. With any luck I'll be completing another stereogram this weekend (fingers crossed).
Gary, I hope hiatus was relaxing and/or productive. While studying your Pas de Deux stereogram I've come to the conclusion that I need to experiment more with varying the line width and color(s) when trying to incorporate the mapped lines effect into the final stereogram image. I think the lines in this one are too thick and should have been of some other color.
About the 'great drawing and depth', I gave this one about as much as it would take without getting weird. When trying to create the depth map and have it come out looking right, you realize how little depth a pinwheel really has. Even larger pinwheels really don't have much depth in relation to their diameter.
Thanks for taking the time...,
Harry
