Once you "create" it, then you get to see how good a job you did, but you're done at that point. You can't go back and make any changes, you just have to start over if you don't like the way it came out. Here was my first attempt at an actual object, rather than just lettering. It's considerably more difficult, at least for me. See if you can tell what this one is.

got that one, very nice!!!!

thanks for sharing

For those of you having trouble, once you can do it you will always be able to do it, it just involves teaching your eyes to focus differently. There are three basic ways of looking at 3D pictures with both eyes...

Normally, if you look at or read something on the computer monitor, you aim your eyes directly at the surface of the monitor. You may already have mastered this technique (have you had a lot of practice?!). If you use normal regular ol' viewing to look at 3D images, nothing will pop out. You won't see 3D!

With the parallel viewing method , the lines of sight of your eyes move outward toward parallel and meet in the distance at a point well behind and beyond the image. That's why it's called parallel viewing. When you parallel-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing lens relax and lengthen. This is what I use, you are relaxing your eyes and trying to see something that you imagine to be several inches behind your monitor.

Another method for 3D viewing is called cross-viewing or the cross-eyed method. You aim your eyes so that the lines of sight of your eyes cross in front of the image. When you cross-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing lens contract strongly and shorten.

Awesome first attempt! are there other patterns for backgraound you can use or is it just the one? I use to have a few of these back in the early 90's . they had all kinds of diffent collors.

I can choose the color pallet but have not conquered making very complicated things. I'm not sure if I just haven't figured it out, or if the program isn't capable of much more. I have seen some a little more advanced than mine, so I think it can do more, I just have to figure it out.

Haleluja and thanks SlickFlicker, after i read your post i tried those three methods and the only one that i got to work for me was the cross eyed method ha but that's a sweet program and in your spare time you should get some more up for us!
