First stereogram of the new year!

[Scotty]

Hi,
I used to play with creating them myself actually when they first came out, had a bout three different programs for creating them. I ran across one that really impressed me (done at a University I think) it was an actual picture of a park bench in a park., but when you 'focused' as a stereogram on the bench was a man with his dog at his feet..I was totally awe struck. then I got into 3D stuff (with red and blue glasses)and found you could create them also using an image editing program and separating the channels then off-setting the red and blue channels a couple of pixels and reconstructing the image back to normal.
Just a note and some rambling info.

Gary, how did you get the very smooth look to the background shape? Did you use a fill, blend, or contour? I usually get more of stairstep effect.

Mac, do you have any link to what you're talking about, I would be most interested in seeing these things in action.... I like optical illusion stuff (Actually they are GREAT idea for hidden commercial I've been working on).

My idea is to create an eye catching image (naked woman for example - always does the trick http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif ) and then apply text so your eye doesn't really focus on it, but on the womans image instead, so that it gets inside your subconsciousness (damn if I can spell that http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

By the way, what do you think of my booties commercial? I made an example for a magazine my friend publishes...

I saw it! I SAW IT! WOW!

I've never managed to see one of these before. Thanks Soquili for the tips. I found getting my face really close to the screen, going cross eyed and then moving slowly backwards made it suddenly pop out of the screen.

Excellent. I want more!!!!!!

Well Availor no I don't but i'm sure if you can find an stereogram site there would be links from there. Don't forget this was quite some time ago at least 6-7 years now. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up I'm showing my age.If I run across it I will surely post it I could have it stuffed away on a floppy.
