Somehow that doesnt work for me, when I cross my eyes everything becomes WAY too blurry. But I guess that\'s just me. :P

if it\'s too blurry, try not to stay to lose of your screen, fix a claw of the tower and cross your eyes until you see 3 pictures. the center one will show the 3D effect
-
Yeah I get where your coming from with that. Although even when you do get 3 images the center one is still blurry.
-
It was alot easier to do when I stopped trying to do the Magic Eyes thing where you actually move your eyes further apart
Once you grab focus of it it\'s easy to keep your eyes there.
Edit: see next post

Socrates, you effectively wrecked it :( ;)
-
Sorry I\'m not sure if that\'s right I\'ll fix it
I agree I\'d be upset if I\'d seen my old last post
Edit: is there an award for the most edits?

Hi! This 3D picture is great! But it needs to be smaller! :) You have to cross your eyes so much it hurts! But I was able to do it and it looks really good, so please do more (smaller ones)! :D

Darn...I think my eyes locked.... (http://www.mcseworld.com/forums/images/smilies/cross_eyed.gif)

Wow, that is really cool Golmir!! :)
Okay, here\'s something that I found out that seems to make it easier; give it a try if you\'re having a hard time seeing the image.
1) Get into a comfortable position where you\'re staring straight at the center of the image, about 24\"-36\" away
2) Take a pencil, butter knife, your index finger, etc. and hold it near the center of the image, close to the screen
3) Lock your eyes on the object; it should be far enough away to be easy to see. Remember, don\'t start too close to the screen (unless you\'re using a 13\" monitor, then you might need to get kinda close ;) )
4) Slowly move the object toward your face, keeping your eyes focused on the object
5) While still focusing on the object, pay attention to the screen and notice the two pictures turn into four, and start moving closer together
6) When the two middle images overlap and form one image, stop moving the object, and make slight adjustments so that the middle image looks as lined up as possible
7) Shift your eyes to the image and try to lock onto it. Keep the object there, because if you loose your focus you\'ll need to lock onto it again. I\'ve found that quickly switching between the object and the image a few times seems to help, but that\'s just me ;)
8.) Once you\'ve got a hold of the image, move the object away and keep your eyes in position, and enjoy! :)
Golmir, would you mind sharing the technique you used to create these images? Is there a trick to use to make sure you get the right shift between the images?
-
All I have to do is look at the image and cross my eyes. :P It\'s not like a normal eye-maze picture, where you must move your eyes apart in order to see the 3D image. But I still find both versions of 3D eye-mazes easy to see! :)
-
Erick that picture differences that I noticed are:
The bottom pictures top line has a larger space between the top of the image, the top pictures top line hits the top!
There is also some shell towards the bottom right, well sorta middle to that is dark on one picture and white on the other!

Ive got all ten +1 more which I think may be a printing error.
*EDIT* Hmm the post assassin has deleted 4 more of my posts.

fishies behind the shark are different, that plus depths 2 makes 3, to the right of the shark there is a fish missing, that makes 4, shark has less stripes thats 5, should i go on or let people figure the rest of them out? ( me have found all 10 :D)
-
T_T I can\'t do the \"cross your eyes\" thing, I can only see regular stereograms with the \"move your eyes appart\" technique.
So the houses in the back look closer than the temple lol.
Nice idea though, I\'m gonna practice some more and see if I can get it right.
-
Thats really cool, at first I couldn\'t see it, but I figured it out, and I must say the temple looks awesome in 3D, I wish the whole game was 3D that way...somehow :D
-
about the 3D temple (and not the fishes)
the theory to see a 3D effect is to take 2 pictures centered on the same object with an angle of about 10 degrees. But it\'s sometimes too much, because in reality, our eyes are not moving away as we move backward.
To take the screenshots, take one view corresponding to one eye (say the right eye first). Then move a few steps to the left, and take another screenshot for the left eye view. The subject must not move (that\'s why I did not try yet a 3D view of a char as they are breathing).
Many techniques are avaliable to display the depth.
- crossed eyes
the left view is to the right side of the picture. the viewer must cross his eyes until he sees 3 times the picture. The center shows the effect. You can use your hands to hide the extra side pictures. If it\'s too blurry, concentrate on one point and move backward.
- Parallel view
The left picture is displayed on the left. The eyes must stay parallel. Try too look far away.
- Anaglyphs
Using filters of different complementary colors magenta/Blue or Red/Cyan. Both images are filtered and merged. This technique can hardly display colored images if the subject contains areas of one of the filtered colors (a red area will be only seen by one eye). This is why it\'s often used with black and white pictures.
- other methods
some others methods can be used to display the 2 views at the same place but with a time delay. Some gfx cards can synchronise the display with glasses that are hiding one eye since the other is looking at its view. You can also use the time used by the brain to identify a dark image and use dark/light filters. A simple Jpeg can\'t be used for this methods.
About doing the game 3D, it needs to render 2 frames from different angles for each image (such dividing at least by 2 the framerate). And unless you use the anaglyph method, you have to focus your sight to a different distance than the convergence point. That can cause you a headhache.
-
As far as I know, all the games that went 3D (and miserably failed), used one of those glasses that blind one eye after the other. This would mean that people would have to buy one of those weird glasses.
-
hey awesome i finally got it to work!
-
Looks like someone just finished reading a bit on sterio phtography :D
Now If you got a vid that would be cool...
