Well, I just got through that big list of 3-d ascii art, having
finally gotten the hang of ruining my eyes to see it, and thought I'd
have a shot at making some. This is how I felt after getting through
that whole article.

Please excuse me now, I'm badly in need of an advil or 9.

Yes, try to focus your eyes somewhere behind the monitor(like the wall, some people call this "wall-eyed stereo") The two *'s at the top are there to help you, try to get them lined up so you see a single * at the top of the 3-d image. It took me a while to get the hang of it(unlike those magic eye pics, which didn't take long at all) but now that I've done it, I can repeat it easily. Probably means I broke a ligament in my eye socket or something ;-) (It's a JOKE!) -- Oh? grrrr!

Go close to the screen until you see 3 images, and concentrate
on the central one. Or look cross-eyed at the picture for the
same effect.

I find the best way to fisrt learn to view them, is to hold your fingertip about 3-4 inches in front of your eyes with the monitor about 3-4 inches away. Focus on your fingertip, then let your focus drift back to the screen without moving your eyes. If you do it right, you should see 4 *'s above your fingertip. Now adjust your finger distance until the 2 middle *s look like one. Then, look your eyes on the * and after your eyes adjust to the distance difference (anywhere from 5-30 sec) slowly drift down to the actual image, but be carefull not to lock on a particular part as it may cause you to loose the effect and you will need to start over. This is also how I was first able to view the magic eye posters, and takes a lot less practice than trying to look through the image. Charles
