Now when you look at all the symbols you should see five distinct depths. Step 4 Reposition the end symbols of the bottom two rows as shown. By creating blends of the symbols the symbols will be evenly spaced when you move the firstr or last symbol one way or the other. The farther apart they are evenly spaced the more The closer the objects are evenly spaced, the more they come forward. This is what makes all floating object stereograms work. Now when you stare at all the symbols the top row of snowflakes should appear to be behind all the other symbols and the middle row of snowflakes should appear to be in front of all the Repeat to the right snowflake and move it the same distance to the center. Ctrl click on the top right snow flake and move it the same number of clicks to the right.Ĭtrl click on the left snowflake in the center row and more it towards the center a few clicks. Step 3 Ctrl click on the top left snowflake and move it a bit with the left arrow key. If you stare at all the stars and snowflakes in the image above, you should get a sense of depth with everything appearing to float on the same level.
Repeat this and create blends for the other pairs of symbols. Select the Blend Tool and click on the first symbol and drag across to the clone. Clone the symbols ( Ctrl k) and move the clones to the right side of the page. Step 2 Center align all the symbols and move them to the left side of the page. This step is very important so do not omit it. Select all the symbols and Convert to Editable Shapes ( Arrange). Snowflakes when formatted in Zapf Dingbats. The letters in parentheses are the characters that produce the stars and Step 1 Create a rectangle about the size of the above image and add the following Dingbats to the size shown. You can also create stereograms, called "Float Objects" stereograms, using everyday objects (Zapf Dingbats symbols in the case of the following tutorial). It is a fascinating and fun process and if there is any interest, I will create a tutorial to show you how an image such as the Volcano is created.
CREATE STEREOGRAM SOFTWARE
The software I use to create stereograms makes subtle shifts of the pattern in order to create the 3D hidden image which your brain sees and interpretsĪs 3D. See that each panel is slightly distorted. If you look closely you can see the panel repeats 6 times.
In a nutshell, stereograms are made by combing a grayscale depth image, and a repeating panel, in this case of rocks. In the image below, the hidden image is looking down upon the mouth of a volcano. Stereograms at first appear to be a random pattern of one sort of another but when you stare at them for a little bit, a hidden shapeĪppears. The Xara Xone Workbook - A Floating Object StereogramĪ passion of mine is creating 3D stereograms, such as the one shown below.
