****  Knowledge of what makes stereo tick, and the lack of that knowledge on
the part of some marketers, has no bearing whatsoever to how much or little
money I have personally at any given point in time. My time and efforts
currently are spent on several important learning curves, not spent on a
penny treadmill. Money should never be used as a measure of anything but
money...

****  Look fast if you haven't already, it's about to change drastically.
The SIRDS I have on my site are NOT examples of advanced stereo techniques,
so don't expect to see revealed there, what I have been talking about here
on this group. The discussion was not about stereograms on my site.  In case
that was your drift, Ron, no-thankyou very much... ;-)

The only ones illustrative of an advanced technique, but not really polished
in other ways, are the infinite stereograms... Presentable images do take
time and effort. Stereograms were long out of general popularity when I
first got on the internet, and they have NOT been my primary work focus for
a long time, other than my stereogram background patterns. The patterns are
not found at the URL he pointed you to, but they are on my website... 

NOTICE that I did NOT suggest or invite anyone to look at my stereogram
gallery for examples of advanced stereograms since I know very well that I
don't have such examples available. I pointed to and spoke about Digirules
stereograms, and various Japanese examples that DO exhibit advanced
techniques that I had envisioned and understood before ever seeing them the
first time, and long before owning a computer.

When I was following the popularity curve, I didn't own a computer. Once I
had  one, there was no direct pathway to producing the images types that I
knew about, until I learned how to use the machine. Once I learned the
machine, stereograms were long gone in the marketplace. Making and exploring
the environment of stereograms can be done easily with simple experiments
and graphics that answer specific situations, but which are not themselves
presentable on a web page. That's why they won't be found on my web page. 

As to advanced stereograms, I won't be heading in that direction until I
have better specific tools for going in that direction, which I will build
for myself out of the thorough understanding that I do have of the medium.
Those tools are not currently on the high priority list, but they are on the
list somewhere... time will tell.
