Here are some of my (very old) 3d sigs (drawn, not generated).
How to view: either cross your eyes, or get very close to the screen,
so that each eye is focusing on a different image. Try to merge the
separate images into one, and you should get a 3-D effect.
The last one ('sunburst') has 8 layers!

 1. Introduction

    This guide doesn't offer any advice on drawing Ascii pictures, there
 are plenty of artists in a better position to offer guidance on Ascii art
 techniques. It is instead a way of listing the techniques peculiar to
 drawing pictures that can be made to appear three dimensional (3D) and the
 methods I use both to create and improve them.

    I'm assuming that you already know how to view stereograms. For those
 of you who don't, I've included an appendix with information about how to
 view stereograms. If this is no help, try reading the stereogram FAQ (see
 Acknowledgements) as it contains far more helpful information on the
 various techniques that can be used.

    This guide is about drawing stereograms that still look like pictures
 when viewed normally (non-random or picture-type) rather than the random-
 letter type that look like PGP key blocks. This is because several people
 have written software that can automatically turn a simple text file into
 a random-letter stereogram. They are also a right pain to draw by hand!

    Parts of the guide concern the appearance of 3D pictures and this is
 mostly personal opinion. I have however, tried to justify everything I say
 on the topic.

              .                  It helps a lot if you have good eyesight.
             / \              I prefer relaxing my eyes to look behind
            /   \             stereograms (wide-eye) rather than crossing
        ___/_____\___         my eyes, as it hurts less and allows me to
       |             |        stay sitting. If you view them cross-eyed,
       | H R D Z A S |        all my drawings will appear inside-out. If I
       |  x r u h i  |        mention an image appearing nearer, cross-eyed
       |   * * * *   |        viewers will see it being further away and
       |    '.'.'    |        vice-versa. Of course, if you spend all day
       |_____________|        drawing 3D pictures you end up pretty cross-
                              eyed no matter how you view them!

 2. The basics

    'Let's start at the very beginning...'. Easier said than done. The main
 principle of any stereogram is that the brain can be fooled by identical
 images spaced horizontally. Instead of looking at one of the images, each
 eye looks at a different image, but the brain can't tell the difference
 between the two separate images and is convinced that there is only one.
 To solve the paradox, the brain pretends that there really is only one
 image, but at a different depth.

    By using a non-proportional text font (where all the letters are of the
 same width) we have two immediate advantages when trying to create our own
 stereograms, the ability to create countless identical copies of an image
 and control of the spacing between them.

    First step is to get two images that look the same, like this -

                             @__@          @__@
                              ||            ||
                              ||            ||
                              ||            ||
                             -~~-          -~~-

    When you look at the picture, the brain has two images, one from each
 eye and it wants to overlap them to form a single image. The brain looks
 for visual cues (any bits of the two images that are obviously from the
 same object) to decide how to overlap them. Normally it would overlap them
 so this part from the left eye sits ontop of this part from the right.

        e|    ||            ||    |      |    ||            ||    |
        y|   -~~-          -~~-   |      |   -~~-          -~~-   |e
        e|   |                    |      |                 |      |y
         |___|____________________|      |_________________|______|e
             |                                             |
             |_________________________                ____|
                                       \              /
    However, unfocussing matches this part with this part (Cross-eyed
 viewing matches the inner two). This should result in you seeing three
 columns, a solid one in the centre of your vision and two translucent ones
 on either side. It's the one in the middle that we're interested in
 because it appears to be closer than the rest of the screen.

    To show the importance of having two identical images, look what
 happens when one of the columns is altered -
                              __            __
                             @__@          @__@
                              ||            ==
                              ||            ==
                              ||            ==
                             -~~-          -~~-

    The sections that are identical remain three dimensional, but where
 the overlapping images are different, the effect is gone and the image is
 a flat mess of characters.

    If we wanted to have more than one column in three dimensions, we just
 add another next to the first two -

                      @==@          @==@          @==@
                       ||            ||            || 
                       ||            ||            || 
                       ||            ||            || 
                      =~~=          =~~=          =~~=

    Now we have two columns in three dimensions. Notice we still have the
 two translucent columns at either side. The 3D effect works on real
 columns too, try it on your next holiday to Athens!

    Some stereograms are simply two images that combine into a single 3D
 image, like the two columns above. Alternatively we can lay down a whole
 screen full of images as below -

      ___            ___            ___            ___            ___
    .' _ '.        .' _ '.        .' _ '.        .' _ '.        .' _ '.
    |R: '.'        |R: '.'        |R: '.'        |R: '.'        |R: '.'
    |o|            |o|            |o|            |o|            |o|
    |c|            |c|            |c|            |c|            |c|
    |k|            |k|            |k|            |k|            |k|
    |_|            |_|            |_|            |_|            |_|

    If we now link the images together we can give the appearance of one
 continuous layer that hovers infront of the screen -

 --.____.--~~~~~~--.____.--~~~~~~--.____.--~~~~~~--.____.--~~~~~~--.____.--
            ____            ____            ____            ____
 '.      .'~    ~'.      .'~    ~'.      .'~    ~'.      .'~    ~'.      .'
   \    /          \    /          \    /          \    /          \    /
    Y  Y            Y  Y            Y  Y            Y  Y            Y  Y
    |  |            |  |            |  |            |  |            |  |
    |  |            |  |            |  |            |  |            |  |
    |  |            |  |            |  |            |  |            |  |
    |__|            |__|            |__|            |__|            |__|

    The double images work best for simple pictures or where you want to
 draw attention to one particular image. The multiple images work better if
 you're trying to create a larger picture.
 __________________________________________________________________________

 3. Spacing

    Next we must consider the spacing of the images. The 3D effect relies
 heavily on geometry, so we have to make some assumptions about how the
 images will be viewed.

    The majority of people who see 3D Ascii artwork will be using an 80
 column display, on a screen about 12 - 14 inches wide and sitting about 3
 or 4 feet away from it. Ignoring any difficult maths, the effect of this
 arrangement is that most people won't be able to overlap images that are
 separated by more than 23 - 25 columns.

    This means that the repeating part of the picture is limited to this
 width (see if you can make the two vertical lines overlap) -

                         |                        |
                   _____\|                        |/_____
                        /|                        |\
                         |                        |

    Even though the overall picture can be wider than this, it will have to
 consist of segments that are this wide. Needless to say this makes it more
 restrictive to draw 3D images than normal Ascii pictures as you have less
 space in which to work.

    Remember, the space is not the distance between the two images (A on
 the diagram below), but the distance between the repeating parts of the
 stereogram (distance B) -

                           ____              ____
                         .'    '.          .'    '.
                         '.____.'          '.____.'
                         '.____.'          '.____.'
                         '.____.'          '.____.'
                         '.____.'          '.____.'
                         '.____.'          '.____.'
                         '.____.'          '.____.'

                         |      |<--- A -->|
                         |                 |
                         |<------ B ------>|


    If you're new to viewing 3D art, you may find that images over 15 - 18
 columns are too wide. This is because your eye muscles will need time to
 strengthen and your brain will need time to learn to relax the eyes to
 very wide angles before you can unfocus by a large amount. Persevere, it's
 worth it and some people reckon it improves their eyesight!
 __________________________________________________________________________

 4. Changing depth

    When the brain calculates how far away an object is, it measures the
 angle between the two eyeballs. The closer the eyes are to being parallel,
 the further away the object. As we have seen, getting the brain to overlap
 two separate images gives the impression of there being one image at a
 different depth. Therefore it follows that if we adjust the gap between
 the repeated images, we can alter the depth at which the object appears.

    If we take two objects again, but this time draw them with different
 spacings -
                             .                 .
                            /|\               /|\
                           / |:\             / |:\
                          /  |:/            /  |:/
                         /___|/            /___|/
                              .               .
                             /|\             /|\
                            / |:\           / |:\
                           /  |:/          /  |:/
                          /___|/          /___|/
                               .             .
                              /|\           /|\
                             / |:\         / |:\
                            /  |:/        /  |:/
                           /___|/        /___|/

    Start at the top two and get the single 3D image. Now if you look down
 you should see that the next pyramid is closer to you. The bottom pyramid
 is closer still.

    To make the pictures symmetrical, I've decreased the spacing by two
 characters each time. Changing the spacing by a single column gives you
 more control over the depth of the image.

    The general rule for viewers who relax their eyes (wide-eye) is that
 bringing images closer together makes them appear nearer to the viewer,
 spacing them out makes them appear deeper into the picture. Cross-eyed
 viewers will see the effect in reverse.

    We'll take the pyramids again, but this time copied across the screen
 with a single space between each layer - 

       .               .               .               .               .
      /|\             /|\             /|\             /|\             /|\
     / |'\           / |'\           / |'\           / |'\           / |'\
    /  |'/          /  |'/          /  |'/          /  |'/          /  |'/
   /___|/          /___|/          /___|/          /___|/          /___|/
         .              .              .              .              .
        /|\            /|\            /|\            /|\            /|\
       / |'\          / |'\          / |'\          / |'\          / |'\
      /  |'/         /  |'/         /  |'/         /  |'/         /  |'/
     /___|/         /___|/         /___|/         /___|/         /___|/
           .             .             .             .             .
          /|\           /|\           /|\           /|\           /|\
         / |'\         / |'\         / |'\         / |'\         / |'\
        /  |'/        /  |'/        /  |'/        /  |'/        /  |'/
       /___|/        /___|/        /___|/        /___|/        /___|/

    The change in depth between each layer is smoother, but equally is less
 pronounced.

    I aligned the middle columns for symmetry, there's no actual need to do
 this, sometimes it looks better if the images don't line up. In the above
 example, the pyramids don't get out of step by more than a couple of
 squares, but as we will see in the next section, it can become a problem
 ensuring that different layers don't drift too far horizontally from each
 other.

    When it comes to deciding depths, it's worth remembering that most
 viewers will expect the images at the bottom of the screen to appear
 closer than those at the top.
 __________________________________________________________________________

 5. Multiple layers

    Changing the gaps between columns produces different layers, but the
 previous example is a bit cold and disjointed - the individual images are
 flat and they don't interact with each other. A much better 3D effect is
 gained when layers of objects at different depths are laid on top of each
 other, or when one of the images contains more than one layer.

    When discussing layers, I often use the term one layer deeper or one
 layer nearer. If I say I've pushed a set of images one layer deeper into
 the screen, it means I've added one extra column of spaces in between the
 images. Bringing images one layer out of the screen involves removing a
 column of spaces between the images. If the layer is continuous, then I've
 either reduced it or widened it by one column.

    Let's look at a simple example of the images containing multiple layers
 first. Two squares (in case you weren't sure!) -
                      ____________       ____________
                     |            |     |            |
                     |            |     |            |
                     |            |     |            |
                     |            |     |            |
                     |            |     |            |
                     |            |     |            |
                     |____________|     |____________|

    Completely flat and uninteresting, so lets add another square in the
 middle - 
                       ____________      ____________
                      |  ________  |    |  ________  |
                      | |        | |    | |        | |
                      | |        | |    | |        | |
                      | |        | |    | |        | |
                      | |        | |    | |        | |
                      | |________| |    | |________| |
                      |____________|    |____________|

    Still flat, so lets try and make the inner square appear deeper in the
 picture by making it further apart than the outer one -
                       ____________      ____________
                      | ________   |    |  ________  |
                      ||        |  |    | |        | |
                      ||        |  |    | |        | |
                      ||        |  |    | |        | |
                      ||        |  |    | |        | |
                      ||________|  |    | |________| |
                      |____________|    |____________|

    Now you get the feeling of looking into a pit, so let's add some more
 squares - 
                       ____________      ____________
                      | ________   |    |  ________  |
                      ||  ____  |  |    | |   ____ | |
                      || |    | |  |    | |  |    || |
                      || |[]  | |  |    | |  | [] || |
                      || |____| |  |    | |  |____|| |
                      ||________|  |    | |________| |
                      |____________|    |____________|

    Now you have a reasonably convincing lift (elevator) shaft. Why the
 stagger in placing the squares? Personal opinion. This is how the picture
 looks if you only move the squares from one image -
                       ____________      ____________
                      | ________   |    |  ________  |
                      || ____   |  |    | |  ____  | |
                      |||    |  |  |    | | |    | | |
                      |||[]  |  |  |    | | | [] | | |
                      |||____|  |  |    | | |____| | |
                      ||________|  |    | |________| |
                      |____________|    |____________|

    Notice how the shaft now seems tilted to the left? (Did you just catch
 yourself shifting your head to the right? Convincing isn't it?!!) If I am
 drawing a double-image stereogram, I try to make changes to the layers on
 both the left and right images, otherwise one of the images becomes very
 distorted when compared to the other. It also makes for a more centred 3D
 effect.


    Now onto the hardest type of stereogram drawing, the multi-layer 
 continuous picture (sorry, I just love inventing names for things!).

    First we need to decide on some layers. My favourite way of drawing a
 multi-layer 3D picture is to start with the background layer and add the
 foreground layers on top as I need them. We'll start with a simple two
 layer picture to show the basic principles involved.

    Here's the background, a line of street lights, nine lines high -
1              __                __                __                __
2         .===|__|          .===|__|          .===|__|          .===|__|
3         ||                ||                ||                ||
4         ||                ||                ||                ||
5         ||                ||                ||                ||
6         ||                ||                ||                ||
7         []                []                []                []
8         []                []                []                []
9         []                []                []                []

    Thin vertical columns work well in stereograms as they allow you to
 fill the spaces in between with other layers.

    Now here's the foreground, a four line convoy of jeeps -
A           _  _            _  _            _  _            _  _
B        __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.
C       |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |
D       `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=

    The jeeps are two layers above the streetlights for extra effect. The
 numbers are to make identification easier later on.

    First we put the two layers below each other to see how they line up
 horizontally (it's worth doing this now because once we start to overlap
 the layers it gets awkward to move them horizontally) -
         __                __                __                __
    .===|__|          .===|__|          .===|__|          .===|__|
    ||                ||                ||                ||
    ||                ||                ||                ||
    ||                ||                ||                ||
    ||                ||                ||                ||
    []                []                []                []
    []                []                []                []
    []                []                []                []
            _  _            _  _            _  _            _  _
         __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.
        |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |
        `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=

    I've moved the streetlights so we get to see one of them between the
 jeeps.

    As the jeeps are 4 lines high, we'll overlap the top 3 lines of the
 jeeps with the bottom 3 of the lights. This is the method I use.

    Copy the top line from the foreground layer and insert it above the
 layer it will overlap on the background layer as shown (I've trimmed the
 rest of the layers to make it clearer) -

6   ||                ||                ||                ||
A           _  _            _  _            _  _            _  _
7   []                []                []                []

    We want to merge the middle line with the bottom line (above). Copy the
 bottom line and edit the copy, inserting the characters from the middle
 line as you go, making sure the new line matches both the old bottom line
 and the middle line -

6   ||                ||                ||                ||
A           _  _            _  _            _  _            _  _
A+7 []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _
7   []                []                []                []

    Now delete the old bottom and middle lines -

6   ||                ||                ||                ||
A+7 []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _


    And copy these lines back into the original background -
         __                __                __                __
    .===|__|          .===|__|          .===|__|          .===|__|
    ||                ||                ||                ||
    ||                ||                ||                ||
    ||                ||                ||                ||
6   ||                ||                ||                ||
A+7 []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _
    []                []                []                []
    []                []                []                []

    And the next line -

A+7 []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _
B        __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.
8   []                []                []                []

    Now we have a situation where the foreground characters are on top of
 the background characters, so we simply delete any covered background
 letters and replace them with the foreground ones -

A+7 []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _
B        __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.
B+8 []   __//  |___.  [] __//  |___.    [__//  |___.     __//  |___.
8   []                []                []                []

    Putting the wanted lines back into the background -
         __                __                __                __

    One multi-layer continuous stereogram! Phew!

    Yes this technique is a bit laborious, but you'll find that you make
 fewer mistakes when copying layers on top of each other. If you want more
 layers, you simply overlap them as shown.
 __________________________________________________________________________

 6. To mask or mix

    'The Phantom of The Opera is here...'. Well, almost the right type of
 mask, but no star prize. Masking is a technique I sometimes use when I'm
 working on complicated stereograms.

    The 3D effect relies on the brain being able to overlap two images to
 form a three dimensional one. Well sometimes, layers overlap in such a
 way to leave only one image. Let's take a look at the bottom of the jeep
 drawing again -

    ||                ||                ||                ||
    []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _
    []   __//  |___.  [] __//  |___.    [__//  |___.     __//  |___.
    []  |'_ '--' _ |  []|'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |
        `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=

                                        |_____
                                              \
    Notice that the street light is obscured here. Looked at in 3D, this
 part of the street light is now difficult to see properly as it has
 nothing to overlap with.

    The simplest way to cure this problem is to shift the jeeps one column
 to the left to obscure the street light. However, this is difficult in an
 overlapped drawing and it just causes new problems with other clashing
 layers.

    Instead, the next best thing to do is try to mask off the offending
 characters. By this I mean draw an imaginary blank layer around the fore-
 ground image - in this case, the jeep. This gives you -

    ||                ||                ||                ||
    []      _  _      []    _  _        [   _  _            _  _
    []   __//  |___.  [] __//  |___.     __//  |___.     __//  |___.
    []  |'_ '--' _ |  []|'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |
        `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=

    Now this is not the best example as I've deleted a lot of characters,
 but it does illustrate the how the picture can be 'cleaned up' by trying
 to remove characters that don't appear to fit properly. This is very much
 personal judgement, particularly since once you start to draw more
 complicated drawings with three or four complicated layers, you will get
 character clashes that *cannot* be removed with masks, no matter how hard
 you try!


    Unfortunately, there is a drawback with masking - you can be left with
 large holes in your stereogram that can spoil the picture. The other way
 to deal with character clashes is to borrow (steal) an idea from Row and
 use an alternative Ascii character that best approximates the two clashing
 characters.

    In the above example, the clash is fairly simple to mix. The two
 Ascii characters that need to be mixed are the '[' of the streetlight and
 the '_' of the jeep's bonnet. The obvious character to use to represent
 both of these Ascii shapes is the '[' as it contains the streetlight shape
 plus enough of a low horizontal line to fool the eye. The result of this
 mix can be seen below -

    ||                ||                ||                ||
    []      _  _      []    _  _        []  _  _          []_  _
    []   __//  |___.  [] __//  |___.    []_//  |___.     _[//  |___.
    []  |'_ '--' _ |  []|'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |    |'_ '--' _ |
        `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=   `(_)----(_)'=

    In this drawing, the mixing effect gives a much better overall look. In
 other cases, the masking effect is a better way to solve character clashes.
 Of course, the decision on which effect appears better is very subjective,
 so don't always expect to be able to make a quick decision when you see a
 character clash.


    Good examples of character clashes that aren't worth fixing can be
 seen in one of my earlier drawings, shown below -

                                 DR J                DR J

    Look at the seaweed above the foreground fish's tail, notice the clash
 caused by the fish covering the seaweed? Well I could try and sort out a
 way of curing the problem, but what for? The clash is almost unnoticeable
 and has virtually no effect on the overall look of the picture.

    As an aside, this picture is clearer when viewed as a stereogram
 because the 3D separates the fish from the seaweed better than the brain
 can when looking at the flat picture!

    When drawing random-letter stereograms, many artists add two markers at
 the top of the drawing to show at what point the images should overlap. I
 decided to incorporate this idea in my drawings by adding my name in 3D.
 The DR J's are always one layer above the main picture, so you should look
 at them first to get an idea of the picture's depth. Once you've got them,
 look at the main image and you should be able to see it as a stereogram
 immediately.


    Still here? You are keen, aren't you?!! ;-)

    Well this concludes the sections on the basic drawing techniques, the
 next section lists some of the common problems that arise when drawing
 stereograms.
 __________________________________________________________________________

 7. Possible traps and pitfalls

    This section is based on personal opinion more than any of the others.

 
 Too many layers

    Once you start drawing multi-layer stereograms, the temptation is to
 keep adding more and more layers. Up to about five layers is fine, but go
 beyond that and the difference in spacing between the characters in the
 top layer and the bottom layer will be so great as to cause the layers to
 'break up' while being viewed. This is when the characters on one layer
 obviously no longer overlap while the viewer is concentrating on another
 layer.

    For example, look at the stereogram below - 

                        (-O-)      (-O-)      (-O-)
                       |-O-|       |-O-|       |-O-|
                      (-O-)        (-O-)        (-O-)
                     |-O-|         |-O-|         |-O-|
                    (-O-)          (-O-)          (-O-)
                   |-O-|           |-O-|           |-O-|
                  (-O-)            (-O-)            (-O-)

    If you lock onto the top layer, and then glance downwards, you will see
 that each layer down becomes further and further disjointed. At first, the
 effect is not too noticeable, but by the time you reach the bottom layer,
 the images are so badly misaligned that the 3D effect is missing
 completely.


 Images too close together

    As I mentioned earlier, there is a 'limit' to the distance between
 repeating images in a stereogram before the pattern becomes too wide to be
 seen. The reverse effect is also true, if the repeating patterns are too
 close together, then the 3D effect becomes difficult to 'lock onto'. For
 example, take the picture shown below -

               ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
               :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o:
               :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o:
               :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o: :o:
                |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
                |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |

    When the brain tries to unfocus the eyes by only a small amount, to
 view a closely spaced stereogram, it is still receiving visual information
 about the correct distance to the screen. If the information is 'strong'
 enough, then the eyes 'snap back' to the correct focusing point and the 3D
 effect is lost. This is often what happens when you view stereograms for
 the first time, the 3D illusion isn't strong enough to fool the brain so
 it re-aligns the eyes making the correct images overlap.


 Continous lines

    When the brain overlaps images, it is looking for visual cues to use
 as it aligns the two images. Normally, the images can only be overlapped
 at certain points, such as the line shown below -

   ----------||----------||----------||----------||----------||----------

    However, when drawing Ascii pictures, sometimes you may want to draw a
 continuous line, for example for a bridge or a road. This can cause
 problems when viewed in 3D.

    For example, taking the line above, we can see that the brain will want
 to overlap this part with this part, giving the line a specific depth -
                   \_____        \___
                         |           |

   ----------||----------||----------||----------||----------||----------

    Now take a continous line like so -

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The brain no longer has any visual cues on which to rely on, so when
 it tries to align this character, it can align it with any of these ones -
                          \_              ______________________/
                            |            |         |
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The result of this is that the line does not stay at the depth that you
 want and instead changes depth as the brain attempts to align the image.
 For this reason, I always try to break up any continous lines with other
 characters, to ensure that the line stays at the depth I want.

 8. Conclusion

    Well, what is there to conclude? This guide started out as simply a way
 of answering some of the general questions that get asked about Ascii
 stereograms. All the techniques listed above are ones that I use for my
 own artwork, but that doesn't mean that it's a complete list of the
 available techniques.

    I hope that this guide will be useful, not just to novices, but to
 Ascii artists of all levels. I think that we are still a long long way
 from exhausting the possibilities of Ascii art and the stereogram is
 arguably the least developed of all the Ascii styles.

    Maybe it's time to redress the balance.

    Have fun and get drawing!

 A. Viewing 3D pictures

    If you can't see stereograms then this is the key to the whole guide,
 if you can't get beyond this part, nothing I've said in the previous
 sections is going to make much sense!

    Humans have two eyes, roughly              Critical Design
 level and separated by only a few                 Feature
 centimetres, but it is this 'design
 feature' that lets us see in three               ->|   |<- 6-8cm
 dimensions.
                                                   |||||||
    The key to stereoscopic or three              /       \
 dimensional vision is the ability               | (o) (o) |
 to 'line up' the separate views of              |    .    |
 an object seen from each eye to form             \  \_/  /
 a single image.                                   \_____/

    Normally, when looking at something, the brain is presented with two
 images, one from each eye. In order to make sense of the information it
 is receiving, the brain alters the angle of the two eyes until the images
 overlap. The brain then uses the muscles that surround the eyeballs to
 alter their shape to create a sharp image. Using the eyeballs to provide
 a sharp image is an independent action from lining up the eyes and does
 not contribute to the 3D effect, just the clarity. This is known as
 focusing. The brain then measures the angle between the eyes and using
 simple trigonometry, calculates the distance to the object in focus. The
 point at which the two images overlap is called the focal point and the
 distance is referred to as the focal distance.

    The two pictures below show how the eyes normally see an image on a
 monitor. The right-hand '3-D' seen by the right eye overlaps with the
 right-hand '3-D' seen by the left eye (same for the left-hand one) and
 the brain locks the eyes as the image is focused. The diagram on the left
 shows the angle between the eyes whilst focusing on a screen image. The
 diagram on the right shows what the brain sees and what distance it
 perceives it to be.

 eye level        <O>           <O>                <O>           <O>


    The problem for the brain is that it can only focus by comparing the
 two images that it sees. It needs two images of an object to focus upon it
 properly (making it difficult to focus on a point in mid air). Normally,
 the brain is only presented with two images of each object, so is able to
 overlap them easily. It is when the brain is unable to decide at what
 point the images should overlap that it can be fooled.

    As stated earlier, aligning the two eyes onto an object and obtaining a
 sharp image are separate functions for the brain. This means that the eyes
 can view an object clearly without locking onto it.

    If we use the same two images as above, the brain will normally focus
 correctly on the screen. However with a little training, it is possible to
 let the eyes 'drift' outwards, so that they are effectively focusing on a
 point *behind* the screen.

    The best way to learn how to 'unfocus' is to stand at arms' length in
 front of a wall, keep your elbows against your chest and hold both hands
 in front of your face, with both index fingers extended vertically.

    If you focus on your fingers,             _           _
 you should simply see them both             |_|         |_|
 as shown on the right. The wall             |L|         |R|
 behind will be blurred and out              | |         | |
 of focus.                                  Solid       Solid

    Now focus on the wall. You will         _   _       _   _
 probably see four translucent             |_| |_|     |_| |_|
 (semi-transparent) fingers (don't         |L| |L|     |R| |R|
 worry, they're alright!). This is         | | | |     | | | |
 because the brain is now aligning
 the images of the wall instead of      Translucent   Translucent
 your fingers.

    Next, keep focusing on the wall,         _      _      _
 but step backwards or forwards             |_|    |_|    |_|
 until the two centre fingers meet          |L|    |L|    |R|
 and overlap, forming a solid finger        | |    |R|    | |
 in the middle. Even though you are                 
 still looking at the wall, it should        ^      ^      ^
 be possible to see the 'combined'           |    Solid    |
 finger clearly.                             '-Translucent-'

    It is this skill, being able to look behind an object but still keeping
 it in focus, that allows the brain to be fooled into seeing 3D pictures.

    Returning to our screen with our new-found (and practiced!) skill, we
 allow the eyes to focus behind the screen as shown below. Initially, the
 brain sees two different images. However, as the eyes focus further back,
 the right-eye's view of the left-hand '3-D' and the left-eye's view of the
 right-hand '3-D' overlap (Yes, go back and re-read that again!). At this
 point the brain becomes confused. It sees a solid combined image at the
 centre of its vision (the only bit it is interested in) despite the rest
 of the image being jumbled. If the viewer holds his or her eyes in that
 position, the brain simply resolves the paradox by deciding that it has
 locked on correctly to the object in front.

 eyes             <O>           <O>                <O>           <O>


    Now convinced that it has the correct lock-on angle, the brain will
 focus the eyeballs for a clear image and then recalculate the distance to
 the object, but with an incorrect angle. Because the eyes are at a wider
 angle, *everything* appears further back (although it might not seem that
 way) but more importantly, the combined image appears in front of all the
 other screen images - the brain appears to view everything unfocused as
 being even further back.

   It is worth noting again that crossing your eyes achieves a 3D effect
 in reverse. This is not advised because the eyes have difficulty in
 focusing on the two images and if the wind changes, you'll stay that way!

1. There's a man who used to be a speedy jockey
   when he was young.

2. Now he's an elderly man and not very speedy
   any more.

3. Fortunately he knows a very nice eldery lady who
   visits him in the hospital.

   From llizard : 'Poor fellow didn't see what was coming and even
        (ejm)      though that MOOK! MOOK! was so loud, he didn't
                   hear because he was on his way to getting new
                   batteries for his hearing aid. and now he has to
                   lie immobilized with his leg in one of those slings
                   and his mouth in a silent constant scream of agony.'

4. And the friendly old lady even wants to help him getting some fresh
   air ...

Alex dropped the keyboard on it's face and when it started beeping, this
is what we had.  I looked at it for about three hours and decided to
keep it.

Good King Wenceslas looked out,
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Sweet and crisp and even.

I`m the fairy on top of the Christmas tree,
But Christmas time is sad for me,
Cos noone ever notices, the fairy on the Christmas tree!

Advent is one of the wonderful times in the year that there are choir
concerts galore. I could never tire of this wonderful work of Britten's
so I thought it would be nice to see it here in aaa. I hope you all have
a chance to hear it at least once this season.

I almost chose Britten's other work Saint Nicholas, Op. 42 for tenor,
chorus, and orchestra because I love the part about the pickled boys
being rescued by Saint Nicholas. I guess that can be for another
year....

From David Palmer:


======================================================== 

'It  is  a long tail, certainly said Alice, looking down
with wonder at the Mouse's tail; 'but why do you call it
sad?'  And  she  kept  on  puzzling  about  it while the
Mouse was speaking, so that her idea  of  the  tale  was
something like this:- 'Fury said to a
                   mouse, That
                     he met in the
                          house, "Let
                              us both go
                                 to law: I
                                 will prosec-
                                  cute you --
                                Come, I'll
                             take no de-
                         nial:  We
                     must  have
                 the trial;
               For really
             this morn-
           ing I've
          nothing
         to do."
          Said the
           mouse to
            the cur,
             "Such   a
               trial, dear
                   sir, With
                      no  jury
                        or judge,
                            would
                         be wast-
                      ing our
                   breath."
                 "I'll be
               judge,
            I'll be
          jury,"
         said
        cun-
        ning
          old
           Fury;
             "I'll
               try
                 the
                  whole
                   cause,
                    and
                  con-
                demn
              you to

Hello,

I'm one of the wizards of a Dutch MOO, The Digital Underground (in Dutch
metro, <http://www.dds.nl/~dimitri/metro>). The theme of the MOO is (the
city of) Amsterdam. As I am mainly responsible for the infrastructure, I
tried to make a map of the streets and squares of the virtual city. Here
it is:

               __CS____________        |

         `\  |      \  ___/
           \_lp-----wc/

CS is Central Station, dam the Damsquare, lp Leidseplein (leidsesquare),
hp Haarlemmerplein, wap Waterloosquare, rp Rembrandtsquare etc. There
are two canals (grachten) in virtual Amsterdam: Herengracht and
Prinsengracht.

Notes:
------
  My ASCII drawings are shown here in chronological order.
  As time passes, I seem to be getting better.  ^_^
  (In addition, I've been slightly improving the
   older drawings.  Check out the previous versions
   of the MI Guidebook to see the drawings as they
   used to look like.)                                   ____________

 "Otonashi Kyoko"
    I must have spent hours trying to figure out how to make a single
    line twist and turn into the requisite kanji.  It was an interesting
    puzzle.  The "KYOU" kanji was the hardest part.

 "S n K"  (aka Soichiro and Kyoko)
    Taken from the title page for Volume 10, Part 7.

    This is my first ever ASCII drawing of a person.
    Up to this point, I had only been drawing ASCII pictures of abstract
    things such as kanji or letters of the alphabet.

 "Move over, Kyoko-san!"
    Mostly completed on 1995.01.25, in 60 minutes.  I added some more
    details and smoothed out some lines on 1995.08.30 (10min.).

    This is the first drawing for which I recorded the time spent.

 "Kyoko posing in the nude"
    I tried to find a drawing of Kyoko-the-cat in the manga, but
    couldn't find one showing the pose I wanted.  So I started by
    sketching out my idea on paper, and then I made that sketch into
    the ASCII drawing.

 "Animage Kyoko"
    Source:
      Animage Nov1991: "This Month's Top Ten Characters"
         Kyoko was #19, but at least they had a cute portrait of her.
       This is a picture of Kyoko looking over her right shoulder
       and with her hand up near her chin. Her hair is tied with a
       pink bow at the back near her neck, and she's wearing a
       red blouse with a yellow collar.

    Original time required: approx. 130 minutes  (1995.01.31)
    On 1995.08.28, I modified it to conform with my current aspect ratio.

 "1,4,5,6"
    Title explanation:
      The numbers represent each of the four characters:
      1 = Ichinose; 4 = Yotsuya; 5 = Godai; and 6 = Akemi.

    I love this drawing because the faces are so clearly recognizable.
    And the original manga drawing was one of the first ones that I
    just had to copy.

    I originally drew this ASCII on 1995.02.16 (in 140 minutes) using
    a more elongated screen dimension. On 1995.08.28, I modified it to
    conform with my current aspect ratio.

 "Shinobu in Kimono?"
    My "Yagami" drawing is 54-rows tall and 70-columns wide.
    My text-editing program is capable of displaying
    132-columns by 60-rows onscreen, so I can see the entire
    drawing all at once. If your monitor can't fit the whole picture
    into view, then I suppose you'd better print it out on paper.
    (It fits nicely on a single page.)

    For the record, I'll describe a little of the drawing/copying process:

    The first step was deciding which picture to
    copy from the Maison Ikkoku manga. I looked through
    all the volumes in which the target character appears
    and settled on what I thought was the best looking view.
    (I chose the frame a couple weeks ago, but didn't feel
    like drawing it until yesterday. [today being 1995.05.09] )
    A more talented ASCII artist might have drawn an original picture...

    When I copy a drawing from the manga, I open the book
    to the page I want and lay a paperweight on the book so
    I can refer to the original picture constantly.

    I started out by drawing the head-- I tried to make it as
    small as I could, while retaining the details I wanted to
    show. The face was the most important part of the picture,
    so it would determine the size of the entire drawing. (40 min.)

    Next, I drew the rest of the body (only as much as would
    fit within my limit of 60 rows) in outline form. (20 min.)

    The final stage (80 min.) involved these things in this order, roughly:
      - alter the general outline to more closely match the original
      - reduce the aliasing (smooth out the near-diagonal lines)
      - fill in the outlines with the shading patterns and
        decorations (this is a big job)
      - adjust minor details until they look better

    (I kept copies of the drawing during it's development stages,
     so I can see how it progressed.)

    Every once in a while, I stepped back from the monitor about
    3 meters to take a look at the drawing from a reasonable distance.
    In effect, this makes the drawing look to be the same size as the
    original manga picture-- so it's easier to compare the two.

    After adding the final flower to the kimono and fiddling around
    with the dot patterns, I stood back to look at what I had.
    And it was good... enough. :)

 "Mitaka thanks Asuna for breakfast..."
    From page 197 of Volume 13, Part 10.

 "Kick Off"
    Taken from Volume11, Part9: Title Page (left side).
    This was done as part of a translation project.
    Actually, most of my pics thereafter are part of translation projects.

 "AKI no WANA"
    Now here's something I whipped up rather quickly-- and it shows.
    I should have tried to make it smaller, too...

    Taken from v11c6 p105 (VW8c1 PW5).

 "Kyoko Strategically Deploys the Takahashi Hand Pose"
    Taken from Volume11, Part9, page 176.
    This one is one of my favorites because the faces turned out well.

 "Yotsuya no Neko"
    From Volume11, Part9, page178.  In the background, on top of the small
    cabinet, is a cat statue holding a large flat coin on which is
    written "SENMAN RYOU" = 10 million yen (actually, RYOU is an old
    monetary unit, not the same as a yen).

 "A Hopelessly Bored Yagami"
    From p106/PW6 of "AKI no WANA" (v11c6/VW8c1).
    This one looked difficult to render nicely-- it took a fair amount
    of time to get the face and hair looking right-- but I like the
    final result.

 "Dizzyness"
    From p185/PW85 (v11c10/VW8c5): the chapter entitled "memai".

 "Sweeping"
    From p188/PW88 (v11c10/VW8c5): the chapter entitled "memai".
    The legs were the hardest part to draw, and they still don't look right.

    This is my first drawing to exceed 60 lines-- it couldn't be helped.
    I started by drawing the face, and as soon as it looked fine, I
    wasn't about to reduce its size in order to make the overall picture
    fit within my usual limit of 60 lines.

That's all for this edition of the Maison Ikkoku ASCII Art Collection.
If anyone has more MI ASCII art to contribute, please email me.
I would also like to see any comments associated with each artwork
(so I can add more endnotes).

My thanks go to Dov Sherman, whose anime ASCII art collections have inspired
me to post this collection.  (And also inspired me to copy some details.)

Ankylosaur


             " Clankity, clankity, clankity clank!
               Ankylosaurus was built like a tank.
               Its hide was a fortress sturdy as steel,
               It tended to be an inedible meal. "

"And there before my eyes was a white horse, and its rider
 held a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth, conquering
 and to conquer... And out came another horse, all red. To its rider
 was given power to take peace from the earth and make men slaughter
 one another; and he was given a great sword...
 And there, as I looked, was a black horse; and its rider held
 in his hand a pair of scales... And there, as I looked, was another
 horse, sickly pale; and its rider's name was Death, and Hades came
 close behind. To him was given power over a quarter of the earth,
 with the right to kill by sword and by famine, by pestilence and
 wild beasts."
 Revelations 6:1-6

The following ascii artwork is from a file called,
   "ARK of Noah" by Michael Stevenson located on the
   Salvation Station homepage,
   http://www.erols.com/mstevens/live/noah_ark.htm


   -----excerpts: "ARK of Noah"---------

   A. GOPHER WOOD: - as previously described, it is a
   process of manufacture of product, as opposed to
   a species of tree, according to the sources.  This
   process, which produces a wood similar in strength
   and construction to plywood would probably by the
   strongest of its day.
                           ...a process, not a species
   ####################   <--- Hand hewn wood
    `,`,`,`,`,`,`,`,`,`,  <--- Adhesive: tree sap, tar etc.
    ##################### <--- Hand hewn wood


   D. LENGTH:"Three Hundred Cubits"  It is generally held
   that a "cubit" was a distance of about 18 inches. So then
   the overall length of the Ark would be 450 feet.
         ,-------------------------------------------------,
     <---`-------------------------------------------------'--->

         <-  -   -   -   -   - 450 feet -  -  -  -  -  -  ->
                          Noah's ARK (sideview)
       The Math
       ~~~~~~~~  300 cubits X 18 inches = 5400 inches
                       5400 inches / 12 = 450 feet


   E. WIDTH:  "the breath of it shall be fifty cubits"
   Now, with our familiar cubit of 18 inches we can
   also determine the width (breath) of the Ark of Noah.

             <- - - 75 feet - -  ->
                  (Frontview)          Height:
                                       30 cubits X 18 in. = 540 in.
                                       540 in. / 12in. = 45ft.

    <-   -   -   -   -   -   450 feet -   -   -   -   -  -  ->

     ,-------|~~~~|-------,        From Genesis 6:15 we know
 <---`----/----------\----'--->    that these dimensions expressed
  \        \        /        /     in feet would be the size of
   \        \      /        /      the ark that Noah did build
    \________\____/________/       in obedience to God's word.
    <- - - - 75 feet  - - ->
           (frontview)
     ,---------------------,     <     Some have questioned the
 <---`---------------------'---> |     stability of such a design,
  \                           /  |45'  which is sometimes referred
   \                         /   |     to as a '6 to 1' ratio
    \_______________________/    |     design.  This is because
           (rearview)            <     the ARK of Noah was six
                                       times as long as it was wide.

 The awesome realization here is that out                 |
 of an ENTIRE WORLD, only eight (8) people                |
 were saved!  Thinking of this low figure in  <-----------'
 terms of percentage, that is a very SMALL
 amount!  Very small indeed.

 NUMBERS:                              [Adam+Eve Progenitors]
   As far as the number of animals           0     <>
 on the Ark, it should be                   /I\   ~[]\
 remembered that just as Adam and            -    /__\
 Eve were progenitors of the ENTIRE         i i    ii

 K-9s would also serve as the              o  o  o  o  o

 On top of this, Brother Andrew Cummins commented:
 <<<< Andrew Cummings >>>>
 AC->More than just dog breeds would have to be included in the
 AC->K-9 or dog kind.  Foxes, wolves, etc. would also have to
 AC->be included within the dog-kind.

     Question: WHERE DID THE ARK LAND?
 21. Answer:   ON TOP OF MOUNT ARARAT IN EASTERN TURKEY
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
               Great Ararat \
                        ///  \
                     //     \ \         / /\
                   //           \     /     \\\  Little Ararat
                 /                \/            \
     ~~~~~~~~ // /   ,=============,            \ ~~~~~~~~~~
  ~~~~~~~~  /        |_____[_]_____|\             \\   ~~~~~~~~

 GOD's word of course tells us clearly that the ARK of Noah
 ran aground in the mountains of Ararat, but when closely read,
 we see that the word is very precise about this location. In
 Genesis 8:4 we read;
    *-------------------------------------------*
    | And the ark rested in the seventh month,  |`*
    | on the seventeenth day of the month,      | |
    | upon the mountains of Ararat.             | |
    *-------------------------------------------* |
     `*-------------------------------------------*


 MUST have landed at the highest point on the mountain
 range.  What is the highest point in the Ararat range?
 It is Mount Ararat itself.                          _      (former)

   T-series bacteriophage

This 'phage is a virus that only attacks bacteria (a particular
delicacy of this series is _Eschericha coli_ ), and is certainly one of
the more sophisticated viruses. Upon contact with its host, the tube (
|=| ) contracts, thus pushing the main shaft into the host. The virus's
DNA then travels from the head down the tube and into the host, whereby
it utilises the host's own DNA/protein manufacturing machinery to make
multiple copies of itself. Eventually, when the cell has made as many
copies of the 'phage as it can, the 'phage orders the cell to lyse
(break apart), thus releasing multiple copies of the 'phage.

Since viruses cannot reproduce by themselves (they have to hijack a cell
to do so), grow, respire, excrete or feed, they are generally considered
to be just a sophisticated bunch of molecules and NOT a form of life.

                   The only significant thing the French
                  ever gave to the world is the French Kiss.
                         \
                     But you hardly can call that technology.

" Many of the larger Roman churches were decorated whith
  frescoed vaults opening into visions of heaven.
  In S Maria in Vallicella, for whitch Rubens had painted
  the high altarpiece in 1608, the dome was frescoed with
  the Holly Trinity in Glory and the conch of the apse with
  the assumtion of the Virgin."

 |gazillions and gazilions of subatomic particles in a highenergy plasma
 |floodded outward and began to cool.Hydrogen began to form in this soup

 |

 |large clouds of hydrogen began to condense into stars,gravity crushes
 |the atoms togather,heat is produced,great pressure forces the hydrogen
 |to combine into helium and release even more energry feuling the fires
 |of these early stars.

 |                (and crowded too!!!!!)
 |the added pressure causes even larger atoms to form.them boooooooom
 |maybe 10 billions years later many of these early stars blow to hell,
 |sending large more comlpex atoms flying through the universe.

 |                   /       \
 |these atoms condense into cloudes and form galaxies and stars and
 |planets.Somewhere in all this,the earth forms and is very hostile,hot
 |and no one wants to live there.Then all these atoms start forming
 |molecules and reacting.After ages,some of these molecules group
 |togather
 |forming self organizing and replicating groups.It isnt tooooooo long
 |and early cells form and thrive in the hostile environment that the
 |earth provides.A very successfull cell that relys on dna protiens to
 |replicate
 |spreads wildly and sometimes it mutates and better cells are
 |formed,sometimes bad ones form and they dissapear.only the ones good at
 |replicating live to pass on thier properties to offspring.As time
 |passes more kinds of cells come and go,and more complex cells and even
 |groups of cells working togather become more popular.Small animals and
 |plants,finaly develope.this competitive game of replication and
 |mutation,that even still exists today in our modern spaceage
 |world,continues turning out new spiecies and one day we find our
 |primitive selves wondering around eating worms and making fire.We
 |humans have very powerfull brains and we start using them to make life
 |easier.we learn to grow food and hunt animals with weapons.We learn
 |about resources and how to use them.We also learn how to keep others
 |away from our resources.We learn how to cooperate and farm in
 |villages,we learn to communicate.We still dont know much about the
 |universe so we make stuff up so when kids ask why,we wont look
 |dumb,looking dumb might mean no nookie so we dont want that.Soon we
 |start blaming everything on "gods",cause we cant figureout anything
 |else to explain whats going on,and well,kids will believe anything.Soon
 |these thoeries about gods become very usefull for controling groups of
 |believers.there are penalties for dissobeying gods and rewards for
 |obeying gods.Men use these beliefs to keep women subserviant and
 |leaders use them to keep men
 |in fear and control.Men figure out how to write and make books full of
 |the "Rules that we,uh i mean,god wants you to follow."Non believers are
 |lovingly killed for thier own good.kings are happy,some kings rewrite
 |the books to include more convient rules or to exclude unconvient
 |rules.
 |Then this Jesus dude comes in and starts ruining all these books,At
 |least for the Jewish religions now more or less Christians,and does
 |that piss kings and tax collectors off.Jesus starts telling people that
 |they can find happyness in thier hearts and not in books of
 |otherpeoples laws.He tells everybody how they can be free and at the
 |sametime lead a moral,happy,productive life with out the need to be
 |slave to the wrote wills of other men.But,Jesus was killed and the
 |books rewritten even more to make it seem as if he was really saying
 |one thing when he was saying another.They make him the son of god and
 |stick words in his mouth.They nail him to a cross and use him to pass
 |even more propaganda around.Its been 2000 years since and I would
 |say,They have won so far.But aslong as people keep getting smarter and/
 |understanding the truth about the universe things just have to get /""
 |better.                                                           /
