3DPhoto of Manukan Island at sunset

Image
According to Wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manukan_Island , Manukan Island is the second largest island in the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park , Sabah . This is a Facebook 3DPhoto taken just after the sun has set and what a glorious colorful sunset it was. Click the image below to view.

3DPhoto of the Cloud Gate (Chicago Bean) sculpture in Chicago

Image
The Cloud Gate sculpture (nicknamed as the Chicago Bean ) is located at Chicago's Millenium Park . It was a cold winter day when I took this photo with a Canon DSLR. Now I made it into a Facebook 3D photo by painting a grayscale disparity/depth map using Gimp 's brushes, selection tools, gradient fill and transparency masks. 

3DPhoto of Sunset at MacRitchie Reservoir, Singapore

Image
This photo was taken at Singapore's MacRitchie Reservoir at sunset using a Canon Powershot digital camera. The disparity/depth image (see the animated thumbnail) that gives the 3D parallax effect as seen in the embedded Facebook image was generated using Gimp 's gradient, brushes, selection and channel tools.

3DPhoto of Claude Monet's Wheatstacks (End of Summer) 1890-1891 painting

Image
This grayscale disparity image/depth map for generating a Facebook 3DPhoto image of Claude Monet's Wheatstacks (End of Summer) 1890-1891  oil on canvas painting was created using the Krita Painting application.  The resultant 3DPhoto can be seen in the embedded iFrame below. More information about Monet's haystacks can be found on Wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haystacks_(Monet_series) .   

3DPhoto of Vincent Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles (1889)

Image
This is Vincent van Gogh 's second version of The Bedroom in Arles (1889) rendered with in Facebook's 3DPhoto viewer. To enable the 3D parallax effect, Gimp was used to paint the disparity image or depth map in grayscale as can be seen in the black and white thumbnail on the left.  For more information about the van Gogh's painting can be found in Wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedroom_in_Arles   

3DPhoto of Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte painting

Image
From Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sunday_Afternoon_on_the_Island_of_La_Grande_Jatte ): A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (French: Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte ) painted in 1884, is Georges Seurat 's most famous work. It is a leading example of pointillist technique, executed on a large canvas. Seurat's composition includes a number of Parisians at a park on the banks of the River Seine. I thought it would be cool to paint a disparity/depth map with Gimp to convert Georges' painting to a so-called Facebook 3DPhoto ; and the result is shown embedded below.
