3D fish - improvements appreciated

Take an image, repeat it with differing horizontal gaps and, hey presto!

E.g. Take one .sig  ()_()
                     (_)

Add a few more and you get

     ()_()     ()_()     ()_()     ()_()     ()_()     ()_()     ()_()
()_() (_)()_()  (_()_()   (()_()    ()_()    ()_()    ()_()    ()_())
 (_)      (_)      (_)      (_)      (_)      (_)      (_)      (_)

(looks clearer in 3d - not much of a picture, but it'll do for a cold and
 rainy Tuesday morning!)


: .. any faq's yet?

None that I know of, but I'm new to this. Happy to contribute if anyone
wants to write one. Better E-mail me though, I'm off on my Easter holiday!

Yep, there is one.
Request a 3d FAQ in the alt.3d newsgroup.  It also has C code to
generate ASCII Sirts (Text Steriograms [3d art])

Hope this helps!

Hey DR J, I love this 3d picture!  Could you do one of my .sig cat? ;)
