I found a NokoMIDI pic of Viletta (Code Geass) that someone had worked into a stereogram, and I figured that I could probably do the same.

So here is my first attempt, with the NitroPlus girl.

>>566562Very nice, I should have thought of that myself.

>>566557I'm not sure how the guy that did the 'original' Viletta pic I got the idea from did it, but I just used Photoshop.

At first I tried building a mesh (XSI, Maya, Blender, etc.) and projecting the image on it, but I realized within an hour or two that it was way too time/effort intensive to be a viable method for building a single use image.

My workflow was to cut the image into layers based on depth, and then move those layers left (to make them 'pop') and right (to make them recede). Then I just cleaned up the seams left by the moving. I used Edit>Transform>Warp (drag the center a little to the left) to make smoothly rounded areas.

Now that I've done it once, I'm sure I can do it a good bit faster next time (this pic took about 2 hours). I also think I can get away with fewer layers, as this pic had about 24 layers, and managing them was a pain.

In the future I will try working from back to front, on just two or three layers at a time. Also, I want to be sure I keep the lines crisp. I had to redraw MANY lines that I let get too fuzzy, which took a lot of time and doesn't look as good as I'd like.

The long line running down from the outside edge of her left breast is particularly upsetting to me, as is the fact that the single button holding the shirt together is not properly offset (which is particularly obvious in the animooted gif).

I am glad you all like it, flaws and all.

>>566556I tried to make this one a bit more subtle and smooth in the transitions between depth areas.

I have found that the best pics for this process are "painterly" (the more detail per are the better the curves show in 3D) and clean with little background clutter, and relatively obvious depth changes.

something like>>566563has an insane # of pieces that would have to be layered seperately (not to mention that the 'haze' of the mirror would require its own semi-transparent layer, requiring that everything "behind" it be re-drawn without hazing)

a pic like>>566957has a cleaner style/background, but lacks obvious areas of depth. There is plenty of depth in there, but most of the areas blend smoothly into one another... which is really hard to do right.

first, and most importantly, you must be able to "see double" on command, that's where you cross your eyes to the point that you see two blurry images. i know a few people that absolutely cannot do this, so if you can't do it, don't sweat it.

okay, here goes:
1. look at the stereoscopic image.
2. cross your eyes.
3. keep crossing your eyes until you see THREE individual images.
what you are doing is overlapping parts of your field of vision.
4. force your eyes to bring the center image into sharp focus. (this was the hardest for me to learn)
5. ?????
6. Profit!

the image approximates what you see before you focus.

Those of us not blessed with supernatural eye control can use another trick to get these images to work. Simply hold your finger in front on you and focus on it, as you bring it closer to yourself just in front on your nose you'll notice the image spliting into multiple ones as described earlier. Keep focusing on your finger until you see 3 images, then switch focus from your finger into the image in the middle, this is the hard part of this trick. Once you can do that you can easily watch these in the future or use it to learn how to do it without the finger.

When I was a kid, there was this device called a View-Master, vaguely resembling binoculars. It made viewing stereoscopic images easy for anybody. I don't remember ever seeing any hentai reels for it, although I don't see any reason why they couldn't be made.

>>567984Stereoscopes (of which the viewmaster is a modern childrens version) have been popular since the earliest days of photography. There are excellent sets of stereoscopic photographic pairs from as far back as the American Civil War.

I have viewed some original pairs (IRL) from the Great San Francisco Earthquake and WWI.

There is, of course, a goodly amount of ye olde tyme stereographic porn, mostly softcore. I don't have any at the moment, as most was of _very_ tame material.

>>567863Very nice Viewing Tutorial, the pic is a bit fuzzy though.

>>567864It's funny, but those who can do this well, have no trouble at all working (or wanking) crosseyed, and with a bit of practice, there is no appreciable eyestrain. For example, I just finished my 4th 3D-ization, which took 3 hours of constant cross/normal/cross switching, and my eyes are just fine.

good old wikipedia entry on stereographs, including the ViewMaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

also, my 'pic is fuzzy tho' comment was meant as a joke, but it's midnight and I'm tired, so I'm not sure if it's actually funny... or not.

anyway, my newest stereo pair, once again a personal favorite pic.
>> Anonymous
>>567789Hopefully this will be clearer.

1: Find a pic you won't mind staring cross-eyed at for the next 2-3 hours.

2: Have basic PhotoShop Skillz.

3: Open pic in PS and duplicate (ctrl+J) background layer.

4: double the canvas WIDTH (Image>Canvas Size), anchoring on the right. (gif frame 1)

5: move duplicated layer to the left side of the frame (V tool, click and drag), then turn OFF snap (View>Snap To>None). (gif frame 2)

6: using the Lasso tool (L) select each part of the LEFT image that needs to have its own depth. I start with the 'frontmost' part of the body and move toward the back. (gif frame 2)

7: once each part is selected, R-Click and "Layer Via Cut" to place each part on its own layer. Hide the new layer (click 'eye' icon to the left of the layer thumbnail in the Layers palette) so you know which parts you have done. (gif frame 3)

8: repeat step 7 until each part of the body that needs to be at a different depth is on its own layer. If you can't figure out what parts need to be cut, I can't help you. Looking at what parts of the body overlap which other parts can be helpful.

9: Once all parts are cut out, unhide them (click the "eye" icons again) and arrange the layers (L-Click and drag layer thumbnail up or down in the Layers palette) until each layer is arranged so that the top layer is the most "coming out" part, all the way down to the last layer, which is the background.

10: Select the first layer above the background, and, using the Move tool (V), use the left and right arrow keys to nudge the layer to the left.

11: YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE YOUR EYES CROSSED (and have a full view of BOTH sides of the image) TO DO THIS PART: nudge the layer left and right until it is the proper distance above the layer just "below" it. This distance will vary from layer to layer, depending on the image chosen.

12: Repeat step 11 for all layers. (gif frame 4)

>>568507

Wow, I posted that ages ago, I didn't think you'd actually come back and explain it! Thanks!
>> Anonymous
>>568507Continued...

13: Any part of the body that "angles" or slants front-to-back in the image (and most parts do) will need to be Free Transformed to have the proper 3D angle. Select the layer that needs to have the 3D slant. With the Marquee tool (M) R-Click and choose Free Transform from the popup list. Decide which edge of the body part needs to "come out" furthest.

13a: if it is the top or bottom edge, hold down ctrl+shift and L-Click on the small square in the center of the appropriate edge of the Free Transform bounding box, and drag it left or right until you see the slant you want... you WILL NEED TO BE CROSS-EYED AT THIS POINT.

13b: If it is the left or right edge, L-Click on the square in the center of the appropriate edge of the Free Transform bounding box, hold shift, and move it left or right until you see the slant you want... CROSS-EYED, ETC.

14: repeat step 13 for all layers that need a 3D slant. (gif frame 5, right arm especially)

15: For any part that needs to have 3D ROUNDNESS (Breasts, anyone???) use the Marquee tool (M) to drag a box around the part, being sure that the box totally encloses the area to round out. Use the Warp tool (Edit>Transform>Warp) and L-Click and drag LEFT in the center of the "tic-tac-toe board" shaped area that appears... WHILE CROSS-EYED, so you can stop when it's round enough... and not ugly and lumpy/pointy... unless it's a /d pic.

NOTE: step 15 probably requires a CS version of PS, as I don't think the versions before 8 have the Warp tool... 7 might, I'm not 100% sure.

16: Repeat step 15 for all layers that require 3D roundness. (gif frame 6)
>> Anonymous
damn, most of these are just outside my range of eye-crossing ability. resizing the window works sometimes, but leads to scaling artifacts =/.
>> Anonymous
>>568539Continued

(This is the "hard" part)

17: Using your 1337 PS skillz, paint in the "cracks" caused by all your nudging and free transforming. BE SURE to paint each crack on the layer BELOW the crack, so you don't paint over important details. When using the (paint) Brush tool (B) you can hold down alt to access the Eyedropper (usually I) tool to choose a color near the crack (L-Click on the area of color you want while holding alt), to be sure you are painting with the exact right colors. (gif frame 7)

18: When all cracks are filled, and a close CROSS-EYED examination of the pic confirms that all the parts are at the proper 3D depth, use Save For Web (ctrl+alt+shift+S) to save the pic as a High quality .jpg... (or a .png, if you are an elitest bastard with good broadband upload speeds).

19: Post the .jpg on the content-appropriate image board thread of your choice (often /e on 4Chan).

20: ?????

21: Profit.


If any of the above steps were unclear, feel free to ask /b for helpful and friendly clarification... they will be kinder than I will.

I have had that problem in the past, as well as the problem that some screen resolutions are too small to view the entire image.

You can avoid scaling artifacts by using PS to decrease the image resolution. (Image>Image Size... choose a width (in PIXELS) that suits you and your screen, then hit "OK")

If you don't have PS, get it...(http://isohunt.com/download/26732321/photoshop.torrent)
This links to PS 9 (CS2) as PS 10 (CS3) is a sneaky squirrelly bastard that will crash and then require "repair codes" that nobody has bothered to make a working keygen for yet.

for those who are still trying: the explanations in this thread all make a typical mistake. you don't actually have to _cross_ your eyes. on the contrary, you have to focus on a point _behind_ the monitor. focusing on your own finger in front of you will only make it worse. the technique is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram#Simulated_3D_perception

it should be mentioned though, that some people are not able to do it, simply for physiognomic reasons.

>>570148Thank You.

>>570118An excellent program, but I am having trouble finding a real, non-infected copy of it.
>>570164Also, I am a big fan of knowing how to do it yourself, as opposed to letting a clever bit of code do it for you.

I am a bit crazy though... I took the time to learn how fractals are actually calculated and plotted, how to render a full color image in natural media using only Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, and how radio, tv, and computer chips actually work... although I must admit I can't follow the math all the way through.

there are 2 different methods. if the pic for the left eye is on the left und the pic for the right eye is on the right, its like you say, but the stereograms ITT have the pic for the left eye on the right, and the pic for the right eye on the left, so you have to use the cross-eye method or else the depth-perception will be invertet, far things will seem close and vice versa.
i think this method is used because it is easier, also you can cross your eyes further than you can "parallel" them, so viewing of larger stereograms is possible.

Ok I got a few friends who really are mentally challenge and have difficult to see stereographics, thus I have figured out a way to overcome this shitty problem. It also help remove the 3 image results which you would get and could easily cause your eyes to lost focus.

1)Open up the image in full screen
2)Close your right eye, using your left hand, cover your left eye so that you can only see the right half of the image.
DONT REMOVE YOUR HAND
3)Close your left eye, using your right hand, cover your right eye so that you can only see the left half of the image.
4)Open both your eyes now and cross your eye
5)You image should appear instantly and within around 1 sec your image should be focus with the hand aid.
