Hello! Recently i've been inspired by something i found strolling upon the internet, which was 3D photography/imagery without the stupid glasses.
So after a while of reading how it's done by using digital cameras etc. i decided to give it a try in WoW.
Now this is a small project i'm starting, and i've just cooked these two images up today, they're not great but they're a nice start and example of what i am blabbering on about;

How to see the 3D image:
# Sit square in front of your monitor, with the image directly in front of you, at about arm’s length
# Sitting further back makes it easier - you don’t need to cross your eyes as much - but makes the image look smaller
# Make sure you keep your head level horizontally, tilting your head will prevent you from merging the images
# While keeping the stereo pair of images in the centre of your vision, slowly cross your eyes
# The stereo pair will go out of focus and you will seem to see four images, as shown in the animation above
# If you find it hard to cross your eyes, it can help to hold a pen in front of you and look at the tip with the stereo pair in the background
# Gradually cross your eyes more and more - if using a pen to assist, start it close to the monitor and move it towards your nose
# Continue crossing your eyes more, untill the centre two of the four images overlap and you see three blurry images, as in the animation above
# Try and hold the centre image together - it is possible to “lock” it in place and see it as one image
# The “locked” centre image should appear in 3D!
# Now the tricky part, focus - while holding the 3D image in place, relax your eyes - drop the pen from your field of view if you are using it
# If you can keep the 3D image locked and relax your eyes, it should eventually pop into focus, as in the last frame of the animation above

If you still cannot view the image, try to see it in the way this GIF explains: http://neil.creek.name.s33105.gridserver.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/illustration1.gif

If you STILL cannot see the 3D image, it may be because your sitting too close, try to move back a bit.

I will be uploading some more as i make them if the feedback is positive :)

I rather like this one I found the other day, of a "Bok Globule" in space:

Q u o t e:
How exactly does it work, is it just two images that are exactly the same or have you done something to them?

They're not quite taken from the same position. So I guess in a way it is emulating the fact that our two eyes are a slight distance apart, providing our brain with two images -- which I guess it merges or else it might get a bit confusing..
