Nothing fancy, just something i tossed together at 2am to show that i'm not gone, just busy =)
(-sadly i didn't have a 3D model of Fella... maybe some other time...)

Yes, it's a stereogram (some call these 'magic-eye';). Must be viewed full-size.

:bulletred: If you do not know what a stereogram (this is a "random dot autostereogram" that should be viewed "wall-eyed") is, it's sort of like a hidden 3D image. What you must achieve is to focus on a point behind your computer screen (making the screen out of focus). If you focus correctly, the slightly distorted patterns will start to overlap and it tricks your brain into seeing a 3D image... Ok, my explaination suck, but it all comes clear when you see it ;)
- A technique that works for me when i have trouble seeing it is to move my nose very close to the screen, defocus, then move my head slowly backwards a little bit (without focusing on the screen!) until i see the 3D figure. It might take a while at first, but you can do it...

Ps: The further away from the screen you move, the greater depth the image will get.

Pps: A full colour stereogram of 'Remorse' can now be seen here: [link]
This one isn't a "hidden image" and must be viewed cross-eyed (and further from the screen).

I do all magic eye cross eyes. this is pretty good, but I cant really judge because I have never made my own.

Cross-eyed is superior for free-viewing, but it's been a long time since I made this so unfortunately I made it parallel... :)

I can switch in/out of cross-eyed stereograms in about a second, but parallel is harder (and I must go real close to the screen a lot instead of leaning back to relax) :)

Nice! It may help to explain it as the opposite of the 'cross-eyed' stereo images... Instead of crossing your eyes, you're focusing them "behind" the image. As if you're looking at something far away. Pretend you are looking at the horizon and ignore the image in front of you.

How difficult are these to do? And what kind of program do you use?

Very easy, but don't remember what program I used (It was a demo and i cropped away the text it added :P).
Google around for it :)
Make a depthmap from a 3D program (white = close to camera, black is far away) and us that for the generation. Some stereogram programs lets you simply import a 3d-model directly (easier).

If you want higher quality and full-colour stereograms from photos, 3d-render, etc. that is also easy...
Example: [link] (must be viewed cross-eyed, not wall-eyed like this deviation).
To make stereograms from photos just take two pictures and move the camera a little bit sideways (NOT up or down) and align the photos using [link] (This is THE best program for this, and it's even free. Download autopano as well and it can align most images automatically.)

Oh, and in the beginning when working on this you might get headaches (not dangerous tho, just annoying). Poorly aligned images hurts brain by feeding it visual paradoxes :P
Once you get the hang of it's no problem and I use about 1 sec to switch between normal viewing and a stereogram with my eyes... :)

Wow! Thank you so much for the response! You've really inspired me to try it out!

When researching this and fiddling with image alignment for hours on end I pretty much had a headache non-stop for a week. :P
(Who cares for breaks when I can have fun?!)

I have a collection of my own cross-eyed stereograms that I made at that time here: [link]
Mostly hand-held with a single camera (and asking the model to "stand still!":P). When I refer to "cha-cha" it's a technique for taking the stereo pair by putting your weight on one foot, taking the picture, moving your weight to the other foot and taking the 2nd one. It makes the camera move sideways for a suitable distance (doesn't have to go far) sideways without too much unwanted movement.
