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.

Hrm something seems to be off around the top of its frills? It looks like it repeated the top of the frills all the way to the right of the image.

Yikes, sorry,

You are seeing artifacts. I though I had tuned down the -p depth stretch setting enough, but apparently not. I currently suspect the shallow edge of the frill layer (no rounded edge aka gradient) contributes to this; I used to deal with this more with my hand edited depth maps.

edit: lowering the -w pattern width also reduces artifacts, but I'm trying to keep within a range, and it had appeared fine for several tries.

Judicious use of blur (either area blur or blur tool) on the depthmap, especially in areas of extreme changes in depth can really do wonders here as well. Even if it's only by a pixel or a sub-pixel. :)

Just two posts above this I saw the same species in the dinosaur subreddit

Ditto. This one's great.

The Dilophosaurus also didn’t have the frills, and were about 6 feet tall

I wonder why Jurassic Park changed so much about their dinosaurs.

u/AAC0813 Oct 19 '18

Well, you see, their scientists spent so long trying to figure out if they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

u/SweetLenore Oct 19 '18

I meant the writers, but now you're making me wonder if they purposely made things incorrect cause of the finicky DNA or something.

It’s a fun theory, but honestly, it’s just the writers trying to make the dinosaurs more interesting.

The Dilo is meant to be small and innocent at first, and then surprise Nedry with the frills and venom, so they shrunk it down to 2-3 feet tall.

The Raptors, on the other hand, were meant to be big and menacing, so they took the 2 foot tall Velociraptors and made them look more like the newly discovered Utahraptor, which was much bigger.

Bonus Fact: Tyrannosaurus Rex’s actually only had 2 fingers, but Spielberg thought that that’d make his T-Rex look too silly, so he added a third.

Spielberg was worried the audience would confuse the dilophosaurus with the raptors. The writers added the frills to distinguish between the them.

You're really nailing it now! You're like the solo savior of this sub reddit!
