After seeing ~artbytheo 's successful attempt at 3d using stereo images, I had to try for myself to see if it could work in space art. I made this image from scratch just for the 3d image. I used a couple textures by *resurgere . As expected, the results are far from realistic (since no one's eyes would be this far apart), so just think of this piece as a stereo photograph in space or something. This is far from perfect, but I'm happy with the result, and I think I'll experiment more with this. Nebulae could get an insane amount of depth using this technique. It would cost a lot of time, but the results could be mind-blowing.

DIRECTIONS:
Let me try to explain how to see the 3d image. To see the 3d image, look straight at the line between both images, then cross your eyes. What you want is not to see 4 images, but 3. By slowly crossing your eyes, try to form a 3rd image in the center that is comprised of both of the right image (as seen by your left eye) and the left image (as seen by your right). If you have trouble seeing the image sharply, try blinking. That helps for me.

If you found my directions too confusing, here is how mister theo explained the procedure.
Directions: Focus your eyes on the center ( the divider between the two images) and begin to slowly cross your eyes, until you see a 3d image ( as you would sense depth in " real life") There will be three images total at this point. The center one will be completely 3d and crisp. The two ones on the outside should only be 50% there, fluttery and confusing to look at, because only one of your eyes is seeing it.
Take a look at ~artbytheo 's 3d stereo paintings which are totally amazing:
