More 3-d! I've found my calling WRT Ascii-art, I think :-)
A bit large, if you haven't gotten the hang of viewing small ones,
this one will probably be even more difficult...
(How to view: either cross your eyes, or get very close to the screen,
so that each eye is focusing on a idfferent image. Try to merge the
separate images into one, and you should get a 3-d effect)

It is a little big, but once you get used to it, it looks really good. The multi-layer effect is just like it is in the Star Wars movies (or X-Wing) -- ------ The world is an open book, but beware I have an ink blotter!

I've even using a pretty small terminal screen. >Try it again but closer together. Well, I view 'em by crossing my eyes, I can't see any of 'em by using the other method(getting close to the screen) So it doesn't matter as much how far apart they are... I did say it was a hard one to see. I think it looks pretty good if you can manage it though. Try sitting far back from the screen and crossing your eyes, instead of getting real close. -- Joe Rumsey <ogr...@netcom.com> ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ogre/home.html

It looks great to me :-) Can someone explain me how to view it then? I can immediately see most of the 3D pictures that just require crossing eyes, but I can't see this. What' s this "nose-on-the-screen" method, by the way? I haven't been able to see any 3D pics that specify this method. How do you do it?

Not wall-eyed. It looks great to me :-) In fact, it works both ways. I have to get farther away to view it wall-eyed, but it works. Of course, the 3D is inverted if you view it wall-eyed i.e, the letters on top are closer to you than the letters on bottom. I think it was intended to be viewed cross-eyed. -- ||||||| ||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| || || || || || || || || || || || || |||| ||||||| |||||| |||||| || |||||| || || || || || || || || || || || || |||||| || || |||||| || || |||||| |||||| |||||| Time flies like an arrow.
