Stereogram Explorer

Stereogram Explorer is user-friendly design software for creating

high-quality hidden 3D graphics, also known as Single Image Random

Dot Stereograms (SIRDS) or Single Image Stereograms (SIS) known

from the "Magic Eye" series. Stereogram Explorer uses advanced

algorithms and can render animations from 3DS models.

Stereogram Explorer enables import 3D models in 3DS-file format

(3D Studio) generate and save depth maps. You must only select 3DS file and change scene parameters as scale, rotation and camera offset. Model is displayed as depth map. Depth parameters are automatically recalculated on scene modification. There are some special options to control depth parameters.

Stereogram animations from 3D models are rendered to AVI files.

Main features:

User-friendly interface

Random dot stereograms (SIRDS)

Pattern or textured stereograms (SIS)
