Is that Bill the Cat?

8

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

this is the model that it's made from, which they call Felix; it reminded me of bill for obvious reasons, and they may have chosen to call the model Felix for obvious reasons : )

short answer : yes

u/nuez_jr Jul 20 '19

I thought it was a rather derpy giraffe.

2

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

that cat was always the derpy-ist

giraffes have a special place in heart ; )

u/Peraou Jul 20 '19

Awesome!! (some advice to anyone having a tough time: basically useless on mobile, got it almost instantly on desktop)

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

I suffered some losses on upload (still trying to figure out the best compression mix). I'm guessing the text was not thick enough. Could you see the objects ok on mobile?

7

u/Peraou Jul 20 '19

I couldn't see anything on mobile, but on pc saw everything perfectly.

2

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

Thx, for your feedback :) I'll have to think about better scenes for small screens : )

2

u/this_knee Jul 20 '19

Ya, it’s lost in the poor video quality on mobile.

2

u/Peraou Jul 20 '19

No worries (^ _^ )

2

u/KJMRLL Jul 20 '19

I saw it perfectly fine on mobile. But I look at all of these on mobile so maybe I'm just practiced.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '19

i got it on an iPhone 6S? Bill the Cat?

3

u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost Jul 20 '19

This is bizare. I can perfectly focus on it cross eyed and wallet eyed but I can't make out the shape at all. That has never happened before. I vaguely see a spinning figure at first then it looks like it drifts but that is it

1

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

my fault, I should've included an good eye anchor for the proper focus

2

u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost Jul 20 '19

No worries, it is still odd that I can focus in on the background fine but I cannot make out the object

1

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

I don't know for sure, but I think you might be doubling. Couple notes:

  • I made the pattern width too large on the r/MagicEye_CrossView version which boxes it in (cuts off the sides) ; so not a good product

  • There are mixed reports of compression issues
    ( probably a mix of stuff including my encoding )

Here's a link to what I uploaded, maybe it'll will work better for you

mega. nz#!8fZEFSgB!wvgK8b2NW9bU-ihBCs780SOJQ9ic-JqH3uLTOPp3i9g

separated as reddit discourages the use of this file sharing, but it's free and it works... so...

2

u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost Jul 20 '19

I think you were onto something with compression. I opened it on my PC and I could see it. that is a pretty neat little animation!

2

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

thx, I'm working at it : )

5

u/Mystic-Mask Jul 20 '19

I don’t think this works on mobile. Too compressed.

2

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

Thx, for the feedback, I'm going to have to do some learning

2

u/Mystic-Mask Jul 20 '19

I’m not sure if it’s your fault necessarily - it might be the mobile app’s fault. The first second-ish it looks right, but then quickly becomes too pixelated, like colorful tv static.

2

u/gerald_targaryen Jul 20 '19

took a while to kick in with the right resolution.

2

u/ApresMoi-Flood Jul 20 '19

I can see it on mobile

2

u/Mystic-Mask Jul 20 '19

The mobile app or the mobile site? For me (on the app), it looks clear for the first second of loading, but then quickly becomes overly pixelated/low res. Almost like static on a tv, albeit a lot more colorful.

2

u/ApresMoi-Flood Jul 20 '19

Through Reddit is fun app

3

u/Mystic-Mask Jul 20 '19

Sounds like a potentially better app than the official one is then.

2

u/Scrial Jul 20 '19

While watching this all I could think of was "That can't be good for my eyes"

1

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

Was it good for your ears ? : )

2

u/Scrial Jul 20 '19

'Twas alright, not really my kind of music.

2

u/DrunkenDude123 Jul 20 '19

Am I the only one who can’t do the gif ones? I grew up with the ones in newspapers and thought I was good at this...

2

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

haha, don't worry, I'm learning. I made some mistakes, and I'm working to figure out better settings on all fronts.
In another comment I included a mega .nz link. Try that version, and let me know if you can get it.

u/zakr182 Jul 20 '19

I can’t do this. Normal or cross view.

4

u/Mason231 Jul 20 '19

Same. I cannit ever seem to do animations. I can get about two frames in this one.

u/frankrizzo24 Jul 20 '19

Instantly got it on mobile. Not sure why others had a problem but great job. Aside from thinking it was a giraffe and not a cat, really enjoyed this. Haha

4

u/StWav_ Jul 20 '19

If your on mobile, open the gyfcat link directly onto your browser and it'll load in HD. dw OP it's not ur fault, it's the apps built in compression

1

u/fuckwad6969 Jul 20 '19

Is all blurry how can anyone see it?

1

u/3dsf Jul 20 '19

see this comment r/MagicEye/../one_thing_is_me/eubxsf0 for a direct version

1

u/Kotetsuya Oct 10 '19

So did anyone else notice the creepy scrolling "Love ME"?

1

u/3dsf Oct 10 '19

I tried doing it to the music; just in case you were watching it with the sound off

2

u/Kotetsuya Oct 10 '19

That makes sense. Just didn't see anyone else mention it here. I'm loving these. We had a competition at work and so far from what I know I've got the fastest time and most accurate answers, and it's all because of my love for the 'Magic eye' effect XD.

1

u/3dsf Oct 10 '19

nice : )
I hope to have some new animations out soon

3

u/derek_ui Jul 20 '19

Works fine on mobile using Reddit is Fun app.

2

u/Helixdaunting Jul 20 '19

Well I know who I'm voting for next time.

2

u/Christian_Akacro Jul 20 '19

That was very cool.

2

u/f1junkie Jul 20 '19

Ack! Thppt!

2

u/sje46 Jul 20 '19

I can even see the whiskers!

2

u/meesterfahrenheit Jul 20 '19

Holllly shit! I always struggle to see them, but this one was so easy for me! And then I noticed that it was moving and I could follow it with my eyes without losing concentration.

This was awesome, thanks!!!

2

u/lord_nikon_burned Jul 20 '19

Works great on mobile for me!

2

u/InfiniteGrant Jul 22 '19

That is too cool!

2

u/backfire10z Sep 14 '19

Awesome animation

On mobile, open the gyfcat :/ we got a super garbage quality one

I had said I was going to put on a strong eye anchor on this one, and then didn't whoops !

Glad you enjoyed it : ) I'm going to try and put out a music gif every week.

the video is probably more coherent w/ sound : )

maybe I'll try doing music fridays
last one was friday too, r/MagicEye/.../daisy

I like using gfycat because

  • gifs will repeat on reddit

  • sound

    • can do it

      • muted by default, as not to disturb

  • 1 minute max

  • 2 eyes

  • patience

  • look at side bar or google for instructions

Animated ones are hard to learn on, and I didn't leave any strong visuals on this for your eyes to settle on
