I have done dozens of Yin & yang stereograms. It's a graphic that really lends itself to 3D treatments.

Yes, I can understand why, that's excellent Gary.
Wow!
Strange but just for a few seconds I had a moment when everything reversed and the outer area went to the very back giving even more depth. I’ve tried quite a few times again but can repeat it. Everything was crystal clear and I could look at it completely naturally. Never had that happen before. Is that a secret intention with the Yin & Yang Design?
very impressive that one Gary :cool:
Really nice one and popped out right away.
Question though: I seem to see a small gap -- and therefore the background -- between the lower left curves of the yin and yang.
the axes of the image are not aligned to the cardinal points [it's 'tilted'] - that could explain it ?
Jonopen - You slipped into cross eyed viewing which is why everything was reversed. All my images are designed for parallel viewing but I find I see more depth if I look with cross eyes.
Boy - When there is an overlap of something going behind another object there can appear to be a gap.
I get it. Funny thing that the gap doesn't show on the upper curve.
which is why I think it [the base shape] is, intentionally or otherwise, tilted, which could cause this POV
The depth of field is amazing!
Love it!! I want that on my wall :-)

Boy and others - Here is an example of another Yin and yang I am working on and you can see how the software leaves a gap. Sometimes I go in and manually fill that if it is too distracting.
Very obvious.
Thanks for the further clarification, Gary.Quote:

Here's the rest of that stereogram.
My partner Gene Levine and I create very similar effect but he does his in Photoshop on a Mac, Knowing a little about Photoshop I think it is worlds easier in Xara. But our results are often indistinguishable. And of course we "borrow" liberally from one another.
Gorgeous! And no shifting back and forth, left to right.
I always find it amazing that you and Gene have collaborated over years but I remember you stating you've never met. Is this still the case?
Yes. And we have a business guy in Michigan and we have not me him either. It seems to work out just fine. :)Quote:

I am amazed that I can never see anything in any of these. My wife is right, I have eyes that don't see. ;)
louyo - Unless there is a physical problem with your eyes, almost everyone can see stereograms. The reason why most people who cannot see a stereogram is that they are focusing on this actual image, the same way you look at any image. But stereograms require you to focus slightly beyond the image.Quote:

Here's a page I did that explains how stereograms work and how you can train yourself to see stereograms http://custom-stereograms.com/stereogram_guide.html
Louyo,
It took me a few years to see these stereograms but as Gary states, don't focus on your monitor, focus on the wall behind it and don't allow your eyes to refocus.

Thanks, interesting thought. When I had cataract surgery, they put a "near" lens in my left eye and "distance" in the right one. Wonder if that influences it. I will take your stereogram 101 course.Quote:

Ahem, from 2017 :D
This uses the cross-eyed method. I really struggle with the parallel kind!

Hmmm, that is supposed to animate! :( Are animated gifs blocked? It is only showing the first frame.
Not animating here either. Long time, no see. :) http://archive.xaraxone.com/guest/gu...ished-anim.gif
And would you believe it was 2007? http://archive.xaraxone.com/html/gue...ials_2007.html
Hi, Gary, I'd forgotten I'd made that a tutorial! I still dabble in Xara3D on rarish occasions, and much more frequently in Xtreme, but that is mostly to do with drawing CAD objects for a milling machine I bought shortly after I retired, a little over eight years ago.
The file is 60 frames in 2.4mb on the drive, but the one presented by TG is only 35kb with one frame. It still works as a stereogram, but it was supposed to animate which it does on my PC, hence my question. I am assuming I hit a limit of some sort, and TG tossed away the missing frames.
Hope all you guys are well, and keeping careful about covid.
its been converted to a jpg - which probably means it was too big either in pixel size or file size - you could always zip it ?
I miss not being to see these any longer.
