I do. Very well done. How did you do it?

Yep I saw it. Like Don I'd like to know how you did it.

Yeppers. I see both of 'em. Now... inquiring minds definately wanna' know how ya did it. :) Genevieve

I asked a couple of days back if anyone knew how to depth map in Poser. I had tried to use the Poser depth cue but had got poor results, ended up using Max. Care to share your settings?

These are the first of these things I've ever been able to see. Saw them both and Phil's too. Thanks! I'd like to know how it's done also.

Very cool. :)

Your Killing me!!! How did you guys pull that off?

First of all it didn't seem to work in Poser 5.

1. Download SysGen

2. In Poser 4 select the prop or figure you want to use.

3. Remove all texture maps. Change Object Color, Highlight Color, Ambient Color, and Reflective
   Color to a light to medium gray.

4.Under Display on the top menu bar check Depth Cued, or use the Depth Cued Ball under the
Full Tracking Ball along side the render window.

1. Change Background to black.

2. Remove all Lights.

3. Render as Bitmap

4. Take into PhotoShop or Equiv. and change to indexed (256) picture and save as bitmap.

5. Run Stereo.exe

6. Click Console, Load your Indexed bitmap into depth map

11.Load treept85 (comes with sysgen) into pattern

1. Click Ok

By adjusting light and dark alot of things can be tweaked in poser and photoshop.

Lots of fun just don't have time right now.

Ahh thanks. I used Sisgen also but in Poser I used white material and one spotlight shining form the camera with no shadow. I'll try your settings.

Is this like those Magic Eye things? I don't see a thing... I never see those magic eye thingies either.

Karen, I've never been able to see these things either until today. It's all in how you look at them, literally. You can't focus on them and you can't cross your eyes. I believe you have to keep both eyes pointing straight ahead at the pic. It takes some practice but is pretty amazing when the thing finally comes through.

Karen, if the way to fly is to fall and miss the ground, than the way how to see these pictures is actually NOT looking at them. Sit in front of the monitor and allow your eyes to unfocus - works perfectly after a six-pack or when you are sleepy. Just look straight through the monitor and relax. The picture will appear after a while. Well, at least that works for me.

I can see them all. The second one looks like a head? The others I can see a shape but dont know what it is...

I have to work at getting the crosseyed thing going, but then they're just fine.

There is also a couple programs called 3dmiracle and 3dmonster that do this and I think this is the page for them. http://www.ixtlan.ru/ Dallas

Thanks Gary, will check it out right now :)

Gary, have you tried the one at the link?

Attached Link: http://www.traxxdale.de/english/surface_3d_e/download_e/download_e.html

I'm downloading the beta one right now :)

Uh! My eyes are watering with effort but I managed to see the first pic at last! I think I'll have to have a rest before looking at the others though... ;-)

Gary does the 1.16 have beta on the image? The newest version does :o(

No. My Fault, Get 1.16. I guess they watermarked 2 until it's complete. My Poser (What they call) relief maps look better than SysGen (I think)

Ok Ill download that one then :O) Thanks

Is there a Mac version of that program? :)

I didn't see one for Surface3D, Caly. Don't know about sisgen. It seems the ones generated by sisgen have more depth than Surface3D. It appears lighter backgrounds give more depth also. So far, Gary's first two with the blue background seem the best for depth. But that could just be me, I don't know. BTW, I printed one in black and white and the image still appears fine on paper.

Caly, I did a quick search on Versiontracker.com and found this: http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/absird.html You will also need this program to get it work: http://www.rhythm.com/~keith/autoStereoGrams/absird/ both are freeware. I havent used either, but like you I wanted to know if there was an OSX version. I don't forsee having the time to test these so if you have the time to test them please let me know how they work.

Forgot to say the error is when I try running the exe

I didn't have a problem. Were you trying to run the exe from inside the zip? You have to unzip all the files to a folder then run setup.exe from there.

Is there a way to save a thread?

Yes, in Internet Explorer go to File/Save. It will save the page and all the links and graphics to your hard drive.

Good - thanks.

Jackson, I did try unzipping to a folder first, but I get the error during the unzipping so I cn't even get it into a folder to run the exe. I don't know what the problem is :( Thanks for trying to help ;o)

Odd. Something must be corrupting it during download. If you have another machine to download it to, it may fit on a floppy so you can move it over to your main machine. I can email you my good zip if you'd like. It's 1.46 megs.

I don't know what happened, but I did download it 3 times. Thanks for the offer Jackson, I don't know if you are allowed to mail it to me or not, and I don't want you to get in any trouble :) Thanks

Thanks guys, I hope to get a chance to try those links this weekend. :)
