The Snowman: A Stereogram Animation
Фильм және анимация

There is no need to adjust your monitor... just your focus. :)
For those of you who can see stereograms, I hope you enjoy this!
Never seen a stereogram before? The goal is to unfocus your eyes and look through the screen, until the repeating pattern merges and you see the 3D image.
Three tips that might help to look through the screen:
1) Try focusing on the wall behind and above your computer screen, then keep your eyes focused at that distance but move them down so that you are looking through the screen.
2) If you have a CRT monitor, try focusing on the reflections in the screen.
3) Start up close to the screen, unfocus your eyes so you're looking through the screen, and slowly back away.

If someone catches you staring at white noise for an hour, they're gonna call a doctor or an exorcist. Interesting effect tho ^^

bad apple magic eye is a bit clearer to see compared to this one...
I used the open-source 3D animation program Art of Illusion to make the snowman animation, and rendered it as a black-and-white depth map. Next I imported the depth map into 3DMiracle to make it a stereogram. Any 3D animation software (like Blender, Maya, or 3D Studio) should be able to make the depth map, but 3DMiracle is the only program I have found that can turn an animated depth map into a random-dot stereogram video. Thanks for watching! :)

It's lovely 👍🏻
If only the quality wasn't that bad, those rapid-changing patterns are hell to any compressor lol. But yeah, I can see something.

I'm going to try at half speed after reading ur comment. Although I saw it fine and thought it was fun. It was even better at 0.5 speed! Unintentional consequence the tune improved like 1mill percent

It depends on your internet connection. I've seen the entire thing clearly. But yeah, it should mess with the compression - but maybe not at the highest quality? I did see blurriness when I was at a lower speed internet connection.

I still can't see it, does it have anything with the "Get focused" and the dots at the beginning?
Wow, I had no idea animated stereograms existed. This is awesome.
My first animated stereogram. This is awesome! I love stereograms, and I'm lucky enough to see the images very quickly and easily. Going to look for more now. Thanks for posting this!

thats shockingly accurate
Something kept knocking his hat off his head and he kept picking it up then eventually he picked up a snowball and threw it and ran away... and then a huge truck came and drove by. the end lol

It was a snow plow. And after the "the end" text, I think it showed the snowman smiling.

That is exactly what happened.
none of my friends believe me when I tell them about steroegrams. It's rather funny
I like how I had no idea what happened at the end, I just know that the snowman kept losing his hat (or at least thats what i think the looking around on the floor was) and then just "the end" in the clearest stereogram text ever pops up.

i believe what happens at the end is the snowman makes a snowball, throws it, and then a snowplow comes along
I loved it :) after you get used to these stereograms, its great fun. I'd love to see longer and better quality stereogram animations.
They're HEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!! A very cool (no pun intended) piece of 3D animation. Very fluid movements.
Finally a stereogram animation which is not a looped sequence! Great animation with funny ending, I love it!
I had a hard time trying to focus, but once I could, it was magical. It's a shame the video resoluton is so low. But, congrats! This was amazing.
I now know what a QR scanner feels like
This is amazing. I can see the snowman playing in the movie. Great Talent who created this movie.
Haha this is great. I thought regular stereograms were cool but animated ones make it so much better.
Thanks for the nice comments! I'm glad you could tell what everything was -- including the PhantomChick logo at the end! :) It was actually fairly easy to make... I made a 3D animation (wich was the by far the toughest part), saved it as a black-and-white "depth map", and used 3DMirace to turn the depth map into an animated stereogram.
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww incredible! I just learned to see stereograms. This is awesome!
Great. This is the first time I saw a 3D movie without glasses. Thanks for it.
Absiolutely brilliant. Fooled me at first because I was waiting for it to start unaware that it was already a stereogram. So clever.
Totally amazing! More!
The goal is to look *through* the image (like you are looking off into the distance) until the repeating pattern merges. So you should actually be un-crossing your eyes. (Some stereograms use the crosseye method, but mine use the more common parallel method.) It might help if you focus on the wall behind and above your computer screen, then *keep your focus at that distance* but bring your eyes down so that you are looking through the screen, and seeing double of what is on the screen.
I've never been able to see stereograms well, but I like to trip balls so still enjoyed!
I am sure that the so-called stereograms in wide circles are a massive trolling of me, because I have never seen anything on them, while doing everything as it should
Anyone having a hard time focusing, you have to overlap the circles 2 apart, not the ones next to each other. Also make sure the video is small enough.
The main problem about making this animation with a random dot pattern is that it is very hard to compress, resulting in a very noticeable loss of quality and a blurry image... good job though.
It takes me less then a second to see these... I used to have an app with thousands!
Can we just be silent for a minute and think about *how friggin fast our brains put patterns together????* that is insane!
Did the truck/train thing run over him?
THE END
Thank you for the compliments! I'm honored. I love your deviantART stuff... my favorites being the Pink Panther stereogram, and Tetris. I found the Tetris game a few months ago, and it has been in my bookmarks ever since. :)
To me it looked more like Penguin, and the text 'this the end' was remarkble clear !
Can you please tell me the software you use to create animated stereography?
Personal tip: Don't put it in full screen. The smaller size video makes it easier to focus on.

Never saw a 3D stereograms moving before. Thanks...
omg I loved it I never seen an actual video being done it's amazing , I thought only pics where made

I don't remember seeing any books with Disney stereograms. The ones I saw were a few made by Magic Eye, and one Christmas book. Maybe there are more stereogram books than I thought!
Well done; I didn't know stereograms could be animated!
Wow, i love the video! The snowman throwing a ball and then being chased by a tractor! :D I want more of this!
now that was so clever, i am used to seeing the magic eye pictures but never moving ones, very well done
Very Awesome. Very Clear. Especially the letters at the end. (i meant the letters at the movie end, after the snowman flees.)
You got it! And the truck was actually a snowplow. (It goes by so fast, several folks have said it looks like a train...) Thanks for watching & commenting!
I watched this 78,000 times and cant see it. That's 54 days of my life I can never get back.
WHEN I SAW THE "THE END" I WAS SO SHOCKED BECAUSE I ACTUALLY FINALLY SAW A MAGIC EYE VIDEO VERY WELL 😭
When you can't even explain the usual stereogram to others, this happens! LOL
MOREE, this is perhaps the best one YET!
Cool, there's a whole mini story!
First time for me in animated stereograms. Thank you, very cool :-)
WOWW dude thta very freakin cool, best animation ever its like other dimension ACE BRUH
Wow! Great animation! I love stereograms, but ANIMATED stereograms... wow.
Focusing on your reflection works best, I couldn't see it initially and I'm usually good at these
Thank you. :) I'm glad you were able to see it.
amazing video never seen a stereogram in motion before thanks!
I always thought it would be cool to make animation in Stereogram. Nice animation.
its so cool how much i cannot see this at all whatsoever
Thanks for the ratings and nice comments! Nice list of favorites.
If the quality was better, I could've seen more than just smiley face and THE END !
I can see easily enough-- I've always been good at these-- but DAMN that makes my eyes strain.
I finally resolved it. The 8 dots staying on the screen through the show would help a lot for something so low-res. I don't get why the backgrounds have to flutter. I'm sure if I understood the algorithm I wouldn't expect the background to appear constant.
FRICKIN AWESOME. I destroyed so many Magic Eye books as a kid out of pure rage - I could never see the images. I am a Ph.D student at the University of Chicago, I have a lot to be proud of; however, being able to see this and not destroy my computer as a result of frustration is what I am MOST proud of.
i could'nt see it at first but once i got it it was amazing
Wow, this looks amazing! The best animated stereogram I could find on youtube. Funny, too
that was the 1st time i saw stereogram in animation well done :)
Omg so amazing the snowman is moving
Thanks for the comment -- I'm glad you saw it! The "train" at the end is supposed to be a snow plow. ;)
This is the best SIRD/Magic Eye animation I've seen on KZread. A lot of them use too chunky a background.
Damn I feel sorry for those who don't know or cannot see these in a correct way. Edit: I just thought something stupid. If KZread doesn't have any employee who can see stereograms, we could hide something explicit in them.
Thanks... I'm glad you liked it, and could see it! :)
One could make a comedy skit with static stereogram, and other people will just be concerned when you’re laughing at static
Woah. I can't believe I was actually able to see the snowman. Cool!
Thanks for making this! Amazing! ❤😊
more 3D stories please.....other vidéos seems flat after watching this! you're amazing
np, i also feel this is the best stereogram animation ive seen, all the other ones just arent right.
Interesting, it was like a weird little cartoon skit. Someone get that poor snowman a better hat. Lol.
@ThePhantomChick yea that would be cool if they came out wth some 4D camera so it feels like your riding the ride lol. BTW do you use some program to make this? If so what is it?
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. And I agree -- Magic Eye books (and calendars) rock! :)
and the plow comes to chase him away..poor snow man...anyway, i hope you post more, i can see these very vividly
Thanks for the nice comment -- I'm glad you like them! :) I'm currently working on another one, but I'm not sure yet when it will be done. I used Art of Illusion (AOI) to make the depth map animation (but other programs like Blender or 3D Studio should work, too), and 3DMiracle to turn the depth map animation into a stereogram. AOI is free open-source, and 3DMiracle is pretty cheap.
the best thing in this year !
Lmao. This is so cool. That's one hell of a snowplow! It's huge! I liked the way you stuck your funky lil logo onto the end. Lol. This video is sickness
Glad you got it! Thanks for the comment! :)
who did this is a genius
Thanks! Glad you liked (and could see) it! ;)
@stopglobalswarming -- I'm glad you were able to see it! :) The snowman is supposed to be alone... the other figure might have just been fragments of the edge of the stereogram. The truck that chases the snowman is a snowplow.
I love this! it was so pretty!
whoahhh this is sick, im recently obsessed with stereograms but i didnt know they made moving oness
man I still don't understand how do you guys do it with your eyes 😭
A snowman dropped his hat and at the end it picked up a snowball and threw it. I think. And then at the very end it said, "THE END". This was pretty cool
interesting. poor snowman has to keep picking his hat up and putting it back on ^^ tosses a snowball, then a snow plough comes by ^^
run little snowman...run :))) excellent video
THATS SO COOL WTHH I LOVE THESE
thats awesome!
Bad Apple have introduced me to some wild stuffs
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you were able to see it.
Sweet. I don't think I've ever seen an animated stereogram before.
holy shit thats gnarly... its a snowman!
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you were able to see it!
I can't see at all on full screen but in regular it's so cool!!
Whoa never seen animated stereograms. Cool stuff :)
