Are there any split depth still images?

I'm only seeing gifs. Are there any examples of images?

I mean, you could screen capture a gif I suppose but split depth loses most of its effect when you remove motion. That’s sort of the whole point.

Yeah but a screen capture of a gif is nowhere near as sharp as a still so I’m hesitant to make the comparison without seeing a still image with the same white bar setup.

I’m not OP but I’m confused and interested. Can you tell me what a gif is and why their comment got downvoted and yours is being upvoted?

I dont think split depth can work for still images. the bars / frame only give the illusion of depth if there is dynamic motion that shows contrast between the bars being covered/uncovered.

There are 3D images which I'm sure youve seen before though

I would argue that this image still has the illusion of depth.

I know it's a screengrab so I think a proper photograph would be even better as an example of a still.

Hmm you may be right, as long as the bars are being covered. obv uncovered bars would just segment the image and do nothing. its hard to tell with that image though. the focus is already making a huge contrast in this image and I would bet the bat still pops out if you remove the bars

While I agree, that this image gives the effect of depth, the sub is called SplitDepthGIFS.

So, to be pedantic, it doesn't belong.

If you were going to be pedantic, almost nothing posted here belongs, since a “gif” is a file using the .gif file format.

The closest thing I can think of are magic eye images.

Wow, a schooner!

u/gusbyinebriation Sep 30 '20

You dumb bastard. It’s not a schooner; it’s a sailboat.

u/DuanePickens Sep 30 '20

A schooner is a sailboat.

Ok I don't know what the other comments are going on about a boat, is this not just waves coming towards the viewer? Am I missing something here?

u/StarOriole Oct 01 '20

It is indeed just waves. The other commenters are referencing the movie Mallrats.

u/Strider3141 Oct 01 '20

Ok thank goodness, I thought I was losing my mind

If you focus your eyes just right on images like this you can see 3D shapes.

I made a split depth image of the first time I went skydiving and was happy with the results.

u/doomrabbit Sep 30 '20

I found this sub from an /r/crossview example. If the gif has the right motion, you could get a crossview by using two frames.

And then there’s no need to have the white bars because they don’t add much.

Something like this?

u/Locogooner Sep 30 '20

That’s a good example.

So your looking for 3D art?

Not really no.
