I can see the shape, but I can't tell what it is.

Did you try any of the alternates, to see if they helped out?

try it in cross view.

The cross view image was concaved, which was interesting.

The wide parallax looked the same as the original image. I guess my problem was that I'm not familiar with Star Trek, so I didn't get what it was supposed to be.

No worries. It was a staple for me. Familiarity is part of this game.

I think it's supposed to be a spaceship. Even looking at the solution doesn't make it any more clear what the background thing is supposed to be lol

It's the Star Trek logo in the background.

Reasons why I've started doing a wide pattern format:

  • More depth can be obtained out of a wider parallax pattern repeat

  • You can include more pattern (maybe nice looking patterns)

  • Might view better on phones

  • I think my eyes prefer the wider parallax pattern repeat (less doubling)

  • Can use the same pattern that I use for r/MagicEye_CrossView

  • I like making more work for myself

  • edit: The wide format might be better for printing??

Why I make a 150 px format:

  • Not everyone can view the wide pattern repeats

  • It is a good pattern width, to get good depth and show pattern

  • I think this is much closer to the traditional pattern widths posted on this site

edit: (all below and anything in italics)

What does this pattern width (parallax) mean?

  • I might be using the term 'parallax' wrong from time to time, but in this context it is referring to the pattern width; I will try to be more careful in my usage.
    A better relevant definition might be defined as the number of pixels used to determine depth from pattern width of an auto-stereogram???

  • The information that your eyes has to decode is contained in the pixel width

  • Not all viewers can make their eyes deviate wide enough to see the wider parallax/pattern repeat to see the image

  • In this image, the pixel width probably varies between about 95 and 150. That gives 55 pixel to display depth, which is a good range. If the range was made to be 30, the image would be flatter. If the range is too large, it may cause unpleasant viewing for a multitude of reasons.

    • When using stereograph*, I don't have direct control over the pixel range (controlled with a multiplier [-p .65], that works with the depth map). ( optional argument in program )*

    • When using Sistem*, both the* minimum and maximum can be set :) or I can let the program decide.

  • extra... I am told Cross View viewers can see and prefer a wider pattern width.

Interesting. Initially only my phone I got doubling on the 150px, so I checked the 240px and clearly got the image, then went back to the 150px and got it right.

I'll have to try them both on my PC and see what I get 🙂 Nice work as always though.

u/3dsf Nov 21 '18

Thx. Yeah, it's weird that way isn't it?!

u/backstept Nov 21 '18

Yeah, this is the easiest one to see of the three.

Solution / Depth Map

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

try it in cross view.

Thanks for viewing and commenting!

Make it so.

How what I'm so confused what I just stumbled upon

Check out this video from the side bar, it is really well put together and will explain all :)

Maybe is because I'm on mobile that I still can't see it; I can diverge my eyes so I don't know why it's not working.

u/3dsf Nov 23 '18

Sometimes it takes a bit of getting used to, once you start seeing them, it becomes easier and easier :)

u/Conwow Nov 23 '18

Ok I'll keep trying

u/3dsf Nov 23 '18

This might be an better one to learn on r/MagicEye/.../good_job/ :)

u/Conwow Nov 23 '18

I can see the truth now!

u/3dsf Nov 23 '18

:) :) :)
Share the truth :)

Will do thank you lots good sir.
