New Level (Advanced) - Don't Focus (updated and repaired

sfseaman · Post by **sfseaman** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:46 pm

If you know how to view "Magic Eye" type 3D pictures, you may find this a strange little level inspired by loof101's "New Background" level. If you don't know how to view them, or don't know what they are go to

http://www.vision3d.com/3views.html

for more information.

---Sheesh unfocused isn't the word for it, not only did I not label the posting right (now fixed), but the zip files was messed up in several different ways. Can't imagine why all you creative types couldn't just read my mind and adapt the files that were ok so that they could substitute for the goofed up ones.

Anyway, sorry for the hassle. Let me know if there are problems with this now.

Looks like your eyes were indeed unfocused when you post this level...

the custom models zip file seems to be organized incorrectly, take a look at it again...

Ok, I'm now actually confused. I thought I was going to see something resembling the magic-eye thing in the level, but the level doesn't use model1, only model2 and model4?

How's the level supposed to look?

[EDIT: Ok, it works now]

Yeah, it works now and it's neat idea how you managed to incorporate a 3D stereogram as a hint to the level.

Ooh, it's nice to have things sorted while you sleep.

Must go and try this now.

Wow, that's amazing, Steve.

Took me a while to get the desired effect, I found it easier if I alt-xed it first. I wouldn't have thought it possible to get this effect in RTWD but it works. Mind you, I did look strange with my nose pressed up against the monitor while trying to defocus. Don't do it at work folks, you'll be certified.

I would love to know how you got it to work

Cool level, Seaman.

I got freightrain to look at it and he could see it. I can't see these things!

My glasses won't let me unfocus my eyes and when I take them off, I can't see well enough to see the picture.

I have to rely on other family members to to "see" them for me. Old "Blind as a Bat" here.

Anyway, loved what you did. I am constantly amazed at what you and the others come up with. I anxiously await your next level.

By some strange coincidence, my son and I had hauled out a couple of old 3d Magic Eye posters just the other day. He had seen one someplace and finally saw the picture and wanted to know if I still had the old posters. (Well or course I did, I never throw anything away.!)

Anyway....great level. You keep coming up with great ideas!

Thanks,

jg
