I saw Magic Eye in elementary school and loved them.
I got into making them, but didn't have the actual software, so I used MS Paint. I would take an image and copy and paste it across the screen. Then take a rectangle and shift it over a little bit to make it pop in 3d. Then use the skew tool to make it angled in 3d. Most of them were pretty crap, but the technique worked well for one I made with butterflys. The background was all an image of repeating butterflys, but then some popped out, and their wings perfectly angled in 3d by MS Paint. I'll try to find those old images.
I must have been like 10, I was on a Yahoo message board with the referenced 3Dimka and other stereogram makers. I posted some horrible images and they were like "who is this kid". Haha.
My stereogram obsession faded, but I figured out you could take 3d photos by taking two photos side by side. Then view them in the same way you view a stereogram.
Fast forward a few years, and it's pretty cool to see everything with VR. I still don't have a headset, but it'll be cool to go back through my old photos and see them in 3d. Anyone know anything about the VR stereophoto community?
