Great tutorial and easy to follow, here is my results



Don't know if mine is maybe a bit slow, thats about the only thing missing from the tutorial is a guide to what frame rate should be used.

Nice job, he4rty!

If you saved xcf version of your work with D-map, I would recommend trying one more thing. Instead of displacing in X-coordinate, try Y-displacement with the same workflow and see how it works out. Instead of going east-west the fg object (man in this case) will move south-north, or should I say, the hypothetical observer would move up, over and down. I would love to see the final animation!!!



I set mine to the default 100, then changed to 140 ms, because it was a little bit faster than I'd expected. But in GIMP it's easy to change frame delays using scripts, there's actually quite few of them out there.

Thanks, he4rty!

I did save the depth map (after all the work of creating it I sure wasn't going to just delete it )

Good suggestion on the change of direction, it works well, heres the outcome



I did speed up the animation a bit compared to the other image and K1TesseraEna you don't have to be polite the man in the photo is me.

Great job again, he4rty! And nice to meet you in person!

Its only a great job because your tutorial was easy to follow, also in the past I think I've tried to be to precise with depth maps and hadn't realised they could be so rough and ready.

Loving this tutorial, so decided to browse the fb photos for a possible good one, came across this one. Its my daughter on stilts, she took the previous photo, hence the strange perspective.

That's very good, he4rty!

HA HA she looks a bit wobbly on those stilts. Perfect photo to illustrate this. Great Job!

wow, that stilts one is cool...what a perspective shot that is.

Here's just one more still photo 3D effect animation that I particularly like.
Don't know the author, there is no tutorial. Found it online.



As far as I can tell the waves function and mathmap were used in addition to displacement. Similar to 'boat' animation.
More about it in my next tutorial.
