those are way too big to do the relaxed eye trick.

I can do the small one. I'll make a smaller one just in case.

They work if you scoot a few feet back from the monitor, but yeah, you can't do them close up. Neat trick though!
Guhyh... Can't do it!
And I can't find 3D glasses on me either. Drat.
*laughs* I love that movie... Can't do those stereo pics, but the 3D cards are trippy...I want one 
I cant see it. My eyes wont let me.
Obviously, I'm not alone in my plight, so I did some research on Stereo Photography. Here are my results from the Stereoscopy Wiki entry, which gives instructions on how to properly view these pictures;
[ QUOTE ]
To view the crossed-eye view shown here, the viewer should move slightly back from his or her normal viewing distance and place his viewpoint on a line perpendicular to the center of the image. A finger should be placed halfway between the eyes and the image, then the finger should be viewed. The three bright spots between the pictures should become four spots, and the two images become three. If the focus of the eyes is now allowed to drift to the surface of the screen without uncrossing the eyes, a three dimensional depth illusion will appear in the central image. The finger may now be removed from the view. A viewer may find that the extra side images become unimportant once in-depth view of the central image is stable. This is a popular way of presenting images on computers but it is difficult to learn and for many viewers the method produces substantial eye-strain, and is not comfortable enough for extended viewing. Another disadvantage is that after prolonged viewing, the eyes may become accustomed to "close-convergence", as it requires the ability to direct the eyes as if viewing an object about eight inches away. This very close angle may lead to momentary double-vision. It also offers few of the advantages enumerated above that are provided by the stereoscope or Pokescope. When images are presented as for the stereoscope, with the image to be viewed by the left eye on the left, they can be viewed by diverging the eyes. This gives a different kind of "naked eye stress" than crossing the eyes (known as "wall-eyed divergence") but may require a smaller adjustment of focus, but can be even harder to learn. Without the use of viewing equipment, the size of a stereoscopic image viewable is significantly limited by one's eye-spacing and the inability of one's eyes to diverge painlessly. The major advantage of cross-eye viewing is that the images can be more than twice the area, and no glasses are needed by those who have the viewing knack. Prismatic cross glasses, with built-in masking, make the convergence very easy for most people, but they tend to be expensive, something like 5 times the cost of the simpler arcylic masking glasses.

Yeeah, that's about it.

Smaller parallel view with more separation.

No no. They need to be closer together, not farther apart. I'm quite experienced in viewing stereograms, but it's just not possible to unfocus that much to view it unless you sit very far back. At which point, it's not worth it to try.

I don't have the drivers for that anymore.
It was on my previous computer, the drivers were for Nvidia chipset.
These three cards are the only ones I've made.

Try # 3.
I've been able to do it for all four of these versions. I'm starting to think you have special-needs eyeballs.

When I saw the topic title, I thought you where talking about the old 3D effects with red and blue glasses.
for these: 1, 2 , 3.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd like to do those, too, but I don't have the program to do it. Plus I can't find my 3D glasses, so I can't see yours. Sadness.

There was no program needed, only a specific version of drivers which let you enable the "3D" display with a hotkey.
And I have no glasses either, maybe that's why I didn't use it that much.
I keep strange odd things like 3D glasses and diffraction glasses cause its fun...I don't suppose you remember around what version those drivers were, or was that before forceware driver packs?
No, I don't remember that, sorry
Well, you have fun with you stereo optics. I still cant do it.
Meh. You're just trying to get me to use my shutter glasses again to actually play in 3D!
Doing a little 2xp, took a stereo shot of my Defender, the Kinetic Kid (cross-eyed view, since no one could ever do the parallel ones):

Better pic, this time of my Psi Blaster Liberty Ace:

I'm able to do all these (except for the cross-eyed one) via relaxation, so it definitely works! Very neat stuff!
Although I'm an utter novice, I enjoy doing some stereo photography in real life (think Viewmaster but better), so I thought I'd take my hobby to Paragon City. I'm just tickled that it worked. This is a shot of my Scrapper Razor Raccoon chillaxin' in Atlas Park.
Cross-eyed viewing -- just like it sounds: cross your eyes until the pictures overlap.
Jumbo cross-eyed version.
Smaller parallel view with more separation.
Parallel viewing -- let your eyes unfocus (try looking in the distance, then look at the screen without re-focusing) and let the two images merge.
Jumbo parallel version.
