I work for the Dallas Stars and am in need of a 3D Magic Eye image for our Retro night. I've gone through some tutorials online and am having trouble getting it right. Would someone be willing to help me out in creating one? I will gladly give you tickets to a game as a thank you.

I need a Dallas Stars logo, and the words 'Retro Night 2017' on it. So pretty simple. But I just can't figure out how to create it in photoshop.

I am hoping someone on here knows how to do this. Let me know, thank you!

you're supposed to use a stereo camera to take stereo photos...

Here is one I made quickly with a crappy Stars logo I found online.

I used the following site. You just need a pure black and white jpg of your image. The white areas will show up closer to you and the the black will show up further.

I imagine a better source image would give a better result than mine. I can try again later when I get home to a computer with Photoshop.

Where stereograms tend to fall apart are on text...it's very hard to get readable words. Anyways, this might be about as good as it gets. A couple of sizes (click to enlarge)...

Thanks a ton, guys!

Let me know if you want to come to a game on me for your help! I'll try to check back here periodically to make sure I don't miss a request.

The way data in a stereogram works is black is "far away" and the closer to white, the farther it pops out at you, so that b/w logo actually won't work.

For reference, here's the logo I'm using. The entire background of the pic is black, so you need the edges to be white to pop the logo out from the background. Grey has a medium depth.



I used this utility: http://peeinears.github.io/MagicEye.js/jpg-to-magiceye.html

Then I increased the output file in Photoshop by 50% and used a sharpening filter to tighten it up post enlarging. Here's a fixed version for you, click to enlarge.

TexAgsAnon did more work, but if you are willing to give out a second set of tickets
