Years ago I created and posted a handful of stereograms, and then I started a series of tutorials to share how I made them. Part I described how to create a background pattern or texture<\/a>, and Part II described how to create a distance mask render or depth map<\/a>. But I never finished the series of tutorials and completely left out this part, Part III.<\/p>\n

I didn’t get into it because by that time I was on a new computer and no longer had access to the app I used to create my stereograms. It was a free Windows program, really obscure, and I had just migrated everything over to Mac. I couldn’t find another program like it; I couldn’t even find where I’d originally gotten the program itself. So it seemed pointless to write about software other people couldn’t get themselves either.<\/p>\n

Well … now I’m blogging again, and there are apps everywhere! The will and the way bring you this:<\/p>\n

Back then, finding a tutorial on this was like finding a needle in a haystack. Today, it’s as simple as taking your texture:<\/p>\n

…and your depth map:<\/p>\n

…uploading them to a free and easy online stereogram maker like this one<\/a>, and combining them to make the stereogram you see above.<\/p>\n

See how easy that was? So sorry you had to wait years and years and years to learn this!<\/p>\nShare this post:
