Stereogram Workshop1.4.2

Photography has come a long way in just a couple of decades. Pictures can now be created on a computer, even to simulate 3D, with different such mechanics. One of them refers to spotting hidden objects in plain sight, and with the help of Stereogram Workshop you can easily create such 3D pictures.

Components, and rich resource library

There are two types of stereographic pictures you can create with this application. Running it brings up the choice screen, letting you pick either hidden image, or floating object. Each component launches in its own window, and you’re taken back to the selection screen on exit.Attempting to create a picture with the hidden image method requires two types of resources. Luckily, the application comes with an impressive variety of objects in this regard, so you can easily pick from different depth maps, and textures. On the other hand, you can load your own pictures, or even create them using dedicated drawing tools in a built-in editor.

Floating objects, and other tweaks

Distance is simply set by adjusting sliders for minimum, maximum values, and mid point. Textures can be tiled across the canvas, or you can use the texture, or depth map height value to generate the stereogram. Sadly, there’s no real time preview of your work, and you need to build the image every time you want to analyze changes.The floating objects component functions in a similar manner. A large preview area can also be used to align objects you add. Here, you need to configure a background to help with the 3D effect, add one or more objects on different layers, as well as an additional overlay. When done, pictures can be saved under popular file formats.

On an ending note

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Stereogram Workshop is a practical application with which to create stereoscopic pictures with an abundance of built-in resources, or your custom pictures. Two different types of images can be created, and objects built from scratch through dedicated editor components.
