3D fan-illustration for Printcrime
Greg Elmensdorp was inspired by my story Printcrime (a short-short story I wrote for Nature Magazine) to created this blue-red 3D illustration. I think it's terrific and really captures the mood of the story.
Printcrime in 3D (Thanks, Greg!)
The coppers smashed my father’s printer when I was eight. I remember the hot, cling-film-in-a-microwave smell of it, and Da’s look of ferocious concentration as he filled it with fresh goop, and the warm, fresh-baked feel of the objects that came out of it.The coppers came through the door with truncheons swinging, one of them reciting the terms of the warrant through a bullhorn. One of Da’s customers had shopped him. The ipolice paid in high-grade pharmaceuticals — performance enhancers, memory supplements, metabolic boosters. The kind of things that cost a fortune over the counter; the kind of things you could print at home, if you didn’t mind the risk of having your kitchen filled with a sudden crush of big, beefy bodies, hard truncheons whistling through the air, smashing anyone and anything that got in the way.

Awesome - wonder how many of us have red/cyan glasses by our keyboards for just such an occasion. I'm glad I do!

Where can I get some of them 3D glasses?
Also is there any instructions anywhere on making 3d pictures?
I want to make some!
As luck would have it, I have some 3D glasses sitting on my desk. I recently bought a few 3D prints silkscreened by a local artist. To process is apparently simple but you can take it to certain levels of complexity that really take it beyond the crappy cereal box comics that were my first memories of red/blue 3D. Glasses can be bought online, I guess.
The Printcrime is definitely a nice 3D, there's a lot going on in it.
Fascinating. I thought it was just those two paragraphs, not realizing, until later, that by clicking the link, I could read even more.
It actually works really well as a super-short as shown here, though much bleaker than the original, linked version.
Kudos for writing a second story by simply removing parts of the first :-)

Mmmm, multi-level imagery.
How can I see 3D with only one eye?
I sort of can, by moving red and green
glass camera filters (from the analog photo days)
rapidly in front of my good eye.
