Can you see them? Can you remember when they were the big thing?

Quick posting of one image in the Multiplay IRC channel hints that less people know what they are and can see them than I thought.

You're only the 6th person so far who has been able to see it.

7th here.

I remember when these were all the rage - I probably still have a few books of them floating around. My experience with these is that most people can eventually see them, given enough time and random crossing of eyes. It's an altogether harder job to actually be able to do them reliably.

I can see it but anyone else notice some possible distortion in the bottom left. Very poor lobster aswell it's a top down view but things look out of proportion. Looks more like a strawberry sausage with claws

The way I see them is go bozzed eyed then come back to focus, you can normally see them in a matter of seconds

Also, once you know the trick it's easy as Jez pointed out.

8th!

Took me ages the first time to see one, many moons ago, but now I can see them straight away as I can remember how to look 'behind' a picture.

I can also look 'in front' of the image and it reverses The background comes forward and the lobster goes into the background.

These things prove my brain is wired backwards, I see the "pop in" not "pop out" of the paper, which makes them extremely difficult to identify.

That being said, its a lobster :P

I can't see them at all. Supposedly the better your spatial awareness the harder it is to trick your brain into seeing them. Well at least thats the story that I'm sticking to. :P

I've never been able to see any of these. Ever.
Although, is it a 3d planet? .jpg...

Rippsy: Are you going cross-eyed to see it? That's how mine goes backwards.

I read this thread 1st thing in the morning and couldn't see the lobster, cause I was tired. Now I can switch into 3D mode like anything, but I must agree that the lobster is a bit lame, and I'm sure there is supposed to be some text in the wizzo one, but all I see is lines...

Anyone else managed to read wizzos 3d message yet?

There changed mine to become nice and simple, seems image shack compression seems to mess up straight lines or something making the original harder to read.

A bit of testing I have found the Depth Map needs to be around 800% of the Texture map unless using a tiled texure map.

It's a pig, but not a very good one, the face and the edges of the body aren't smooth in the right direction.

I don't know what all this stuff is about a lobster, all I see is a red square in a white box (I'm at work, the site it's linked from is probably blocked or something)

The wizzo image is defo a pig :O!!
