#genuary11 - Impossible Day. Inspired by a comment on another fractal I posted suggesting it looked like a "Magic Eye" image, I wanted to try turning a fractal image into a 3D autostereogram. Maybe not impossible, but certainly ambitious for a genuary post. I came up with two variations - the first one where each layer of the fractal is rendered at a slightly different zoom level to give the perception of depth. The other uses a depth mask to embed a 3D image by shifting pixels of individuals rows. #stereogram #autostereogram #magiceye #genuary #genuary2025

@jamesthomson I’d move the 42s a bit outwards to get a nice 3D effect when looking at it cross-eyed.

@stevechampion @AlexSanterne interesting! looking on iOS, it seems there is an app from the same developper (or a very good clone!), which appears to have a few more features.

I like this one (v5.10): "support WiFi connecting between two i3DSteroid for 3D Camera and sending image."

On a personal note, I discovered #Autostereogram in a magazine when I was much younger, and has since then always been fascinated with #stereography.

Magic Aye is a bot that posts automatically generated autostereograms (aka "Magic Eye"). You can follow at:

āž”ļø @magic_aye

You can see the 3D images hidden in the pictures by making your eyes focus behind the image. (It can take a while to do this if you haven't done it before. Enlarging the image may help.)

I think I'm going to port over my magic eye generator bot from birdsite soon. #magiceye #autostereogram

#autostereogram for #crosseyed viewing

depth map exported from #fragmentarium (one of the examples that comes with it)

horizontally repeating fractal texture made with #fractorium (modulusx final transform).

combined with homemade software. final image had autolevels applied to brighten it up before downscaling to 1920x1080@100dpi

I think this one turned out ok despite the depth discontinuities.

#autostereogram for #crosseyed viewing

#depth map exported to #exr from my "raymond" #raytracing thingy implemented in #glsl inside #fragmentarium , converted to #pfm using #gimp . EXR data must be in [0..1] for GIMP to understand it (otherwise it clips, not sure if it's clipped by FragM or GIMP). Not sure if sRGB non-linear response curve is mangling my data.

#fabric texture from a photo I took, cropped into a narrow vertical strip and made #seamless in #gimp

depth and texture combined with #homemade #software . took many iterations to get something that didn't make my eyes hurt too much. depth #discontinuity is jarring, too-small texture detail is distracting.
