Directions: Focus your eyes on the center ( the divider between the two images) and begin to slowly cross your eyes, until you see a 3d image ( as you would sense depth in " real life") There will be three images total at this point. The center one will be completely 3d and crisp. The two ones on the outside should only be 50% there, fluttery and confusing to look at, because only one of your eyes is seeing it.
I found that it's much easier to turn a painting into 3d if there is a gradual change in distance from the foreground to the background.
Why? To create the effect you need to make bigger and bigger shifts as you get closer and closer, or farther and farther away. The clouds in the background were probably moved to the left 3 inches across the screen.
If you have an object, say someones hand, in the foreground, and directly behind it in the far background the moon in space, the horizontal gap between the two objects will have to be so huge that you end up either sacrificing the hand or the moon. Depending on if you are working from the foreground to the background in your perspective adjustments, the entire area you have selected to move in the background will have a very awkward shape of a hand displaced in it. You then have to go in and paint over that empty negative space with some moon, or whatever it is in the background. It's usually pretty hard to keep it consistent. Parts of the background usually end up being inconsistent in depth. Part of the moon might be at a range away from you that the trees should be. The effect ends up being mixed and confusing. you end up seeing the same piece of painting in the background as well as in the foreground...at the same time. It keeps flashing and shuttering in your head because your brain doesn't know how to make sense of it.
Well, whatever.
This is why gradual changes in distance would be prefered if you were to go about turning a previous piece into a stereo image.
This one worked out really well, because it was so gradual. That's all...Could have just said that....
You'll notice that up there in the left by the little ships there is some unfinished business. Don't mind it. I'll get to it one day.
I love how there's this "sharpening" effect when the two images cross. I'm seeing things in the 3d image (small details) that I never would have seen in either of the two images apart. It gives a whole new depth to the painting. No pun intended by the way.
How did you make this? Is one image the original and the other had the important elements shifted?
