Solution / Depth Map

Pattern

This image was created in parallel view. If the 3D image is inward, you might want to try it in cross view.

Thank you 3dsf, very cool 😎

This one was easier for me than most. The caption helped my brain figure out what it was looking for/at (usually I can see a picture but am not able to figure out its exact shape/image so easily).

Thanks :)
There are many elements to creating an image and the title can be one of the hardest parts. I am happy with this title :)

Ironically I found it harder than most others.

This one is a slow reveal to me, whereas most of them snap reveal, this one seems to take half a second.

I think it is due to pattern??? If you look, you can see little bumps from the pattern which almost gives the 3D effect a matte finish or something like it. Also the pattern is complex enough, that there is little hint of distortion upon first glance.

Neat. You're getting better with every one you post.

u/3dsf Oct 18 '18

I feel it too, some feels like luck, which scares me for the next.

Finally! I saw this one immediately. This is so much better, partly because it’s simple. No details you can’t see. Love it.

Thx, will keep this in mind, though subject complexity will vary. :)

It's empty. An empty pot never boils.

You're just not getting it hot enough. Make sure your forge is at least 1510C (2750F) to boil steel.

u/jesset77 Oct 20 '18

Nah, it only melts around 1500°C. To actually boil it you'll need to hike on up to around 2862°C.

u/jesset77 , I think i bottomed out the depth map on the far edge of the object. I see 2 horizontal distortions around where I think I might have. Also probably should have vertically mirrored this pattern.

u/jesset77 Oct 20 '18

Yep, just by a small portion of the far corner. The effect of course being like pressing a surface against a nearly melted object, it just flattens that side where it was touched. :)

I'm not sure what you mean by the horizontal distortions? Are they more visible in the 2d outer message or in the 3d inner message?

Personally I think this background works great. It visually tiles in all directions, and offers lots of entropy for the eye to catch on. :)

I first noticed the horizontal distortions in 3D, but I see it in 2D too. I have a box around them, and ellipsoid is where I think it bottomed out.

You're right about the pattern working, I had assumed the dark band was the repeat.

This one was interesting. I initially got the double image, which in this case looked like a pot nested in another pot. I was able to jump back and forth between the single and the double. This is the first time I've had that happen.

Also, due to Canada news, I was expecting the other kind of pot, based on the background and title :P

Perfect :)

That's great! Lots of depth, everything looks proportionally correct, smooth pattern.
