that usually happens when you paint your depth map a bit too clise to the edge of the image...called "ghosting"...to avoid that just paint a little further beyind the edges..not toi far, of course...just experiment with it...and dint firget to give the map a bit of a gaussian blur...again not too much...blurring softens the edges and cuts down on ghosting...and one more thing...it can also happen if youre giving it too high of a displacement number. Star with a low number first...if its not enough just go a bit higher until it looks right.
Hope this helps! 😁

Yes, I sorta figured that out. But I still seem to get it. I'am  almost to the fact that I just Photoshop that out after the fact. BUT I want to be able to do that without having to do that. All in the Depth MAP type deal (you know what I meant?).

Well, hey....send me a pic you've done, along with it's depth map and I'll have a look...maybe it'll be easier to figure this out if I see for myself what' is happening.

Well, thank you!  I'm glad you like them. I actually use Photoshop...and old version, too...Photoshop CS2.
First I find a good picture....then I paint over it to create a depth map. After adjusting the color settings on the original, I apply the map and a stereo anaglyph images is made. It's easier than I'm making it sound, really, once you get the hang of the proccess. For me the more difficult, complex images are the most fun to do.

Sounds like me.except i have never used a depth map

Depth maps, i see. i read of a similar method with relief mapping on 3d graphics software like Blender but they both seem to give pretty similar results. I'll look into it further. I'm pretty new to this so i'm still learning.

in my case i find it facinating to "draw" something in 3D, it's like sculpting an image more than drawing it, it poses a tremendous challenge but one that is very engaging and fun, and i love seeing the things i draw "come to life", that's why I've become so interested in it.

It really is a lot like sculpting....when I'm making a map, I have to see just what areas of the image are further back and what areas are closer, and paint them accordingly....darker for distant and lighter for near...most of my dept maps start off totally black for the background and I paint them, or "build them up" from there, going to lighter and lighter. It can be very difficult, but those are the most fun to do...they're more challenging.

I take Crossview photos and anaglyph using one camera and cha cha method.. its fun. Never tried creating any kind of 3d artwork tho.

I love doing 3-D conversions....I actually enjoy the more complex images the most...love the challenge of creating a complicated depth map.

Well, I made a tutorial here:
3-D conversion tutorial
I'd recommend muting it...I thought it would be cute to have a little tune to go with it, but it just turned out annoying. *lol*
Anyway, I'd be happy to give you any tips I can if it'll help you out. It's a lot of fun to do...I've done TONS of them since I found this place...my gallery is huge...it's addictive. *lol*

I've never heard of Google Cardboard, but I'll definitely check it out! I've been asked before about doing side-by-side stereo images, but I haven't tried it yet...I haven't been sure just how to go about it...the ones I do are done with depth mapping...been doing this for about 2 years or so now...but I'm willing to try something new, too....I'll take a look at Google Cardboard and see what I can come up with!

Sure, no problem at all...my tutorial is here:  mvramsey.deviantart.com/art/3-…
It's a video tutorial...you might want to mute it, though...I thought it would be cute to have some music looping, but it just turned out annoying. *lol*
Also, here is a link to the excellent tutorial that I learned how to do mapping from myself...www.deviantart.com/art/Photosh…
And when you do some 3-D anaglyphs yourself, feel free to post them on my site..I'd love to see what you come up with!  Also, if I can be of any help along the way, don't hesitate to ask...I'd be happy to help in any way I can.  )

Thankyou very much sir!

I am toying with the idea of making a 3D comic...we'll see about it's feasibility soon but I am certainly going to test the idea out. I recently got back into anaglyph in a big way, and you're an inspiration. Thanks again

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my conversions...they're a lot of fun to do.
I have two tutorials to share with you...one is the one I learned from myself: www.deviantart.com/art/Photosh…
and the other is my own tutorial...a video tutorial...though you might want to mute the sound...I thought it would be cute to have the music playing, but it just turned out to be annoying. *lol*  mvramsey.deviantart.com/art/3-…
Good luck...and if I can be of any help, feel free to ask. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
