I wanted to see if I could turn one of my 2D illustrations into a 3D stereoscopic image using Photoshop and Softimage. So I gave it a go using my Snakes on a Tower illustration, and it worked! I think. It’s hard to tell when I’ve been working on it and staring at it for several hours. But I’m pretty sure that it works.
As always, to view, cross your eyes until the two images become one (or see this tutorial).
I recently bought a couple of disposable cameras from Walgreens and went to Millennium Park to take some stereo photos. I wasn’t sure how well the stereoscopic effect would work with me just holding the cameras next to each other, but the pictures turned out pretty well.
To view stereoscopically, cross your eyes until the two images merge into one (and here’s a tutorial that explains this process in greater detail). Click on the photos to view them slightly larger.
