Description Don't know if this is the appropriate category for this type of image, but I'll place it here for now.

I'm pretty proud of this one. Made completely in GIMP. I made the original image, worked some fencepost M*A*G*I*C on a duplicate, and turned it into a "3D-appearing" image. Just cross your eyes until the 2 images merge into a combined third image and focus on that image (Use the two white squares to help you get the effect. The boxes will move together and then become one. Once they do, you're locked in!) This has a LOT of depth, which is why I'm so pleased with it.

Be careful...this snake will bite you!

If you have access to 3D glasses, this version is fun to look at as well....I combined the two images above using StereoPhoto Maker ([link] )to make it.

Nuuu I can't do this one .. ! ;___;

I'm usually really good at this too ...

My suggestion is that you make it like ... I don't know, smaller? Not smaller but maybe the squares a little closer, if possible, since I can't get myself to get them close enough ...! Fail. :<

*Sniff* ... I really wanted to see it ... D:

Try opening the image in GIMP and then at the bottom of the image window, reduce the size to 50% and see if that helps. Some people really have a hard time with these types of images and require them to be small to work.

Thanks for the fave!

That's awesome! I can totally do it! lol

I wish there was a 3-D image script for GIMP.

Thanks! Yeah, something like this has to be done manually. I don't think a script would work. You just have to work some magic!

Yes, magic. If only it were that easy. ^^

Digital magic is the best thing we have.
