We liked referring people to Ray because, when it came to a 3-D project, "No" was just not part of his vocabulary. It was a great period for anaglyph and lenticular printing, and we referred ad agencies, companies and individuals wanting to do 3-D posters, flyers, 3-D Christmas cards, point of purchase displays - virtually anything you could print in 3-D. As we were in the business of selling 3-D products, not converting artwork to 3-D, we found ourselves in the position of regularly referring inquiries to Ray. So we always had a lot to talk about on this subject.
SNOWMAN STEREOGRAM MOVIE
Over the years he was the club newsletter editor, publicist, Vice-President, and President (1986-1988).ĭuring those years between the 3-D movie boom of 1982-83, and the current resurgence of 3-D movies made possible by the digital revolution, we shared the distinction of being among a small number of people in the world making a full-time living from 3-D. As with everything else he did, he quickly became an enthusiastic supporter of the club, and a very active member. In January 1985 Susan got Ray to finally join the Stereo Club of Southern California. Ray continued to pursue his interests in 3-D, popular culture, art, and a wide variety of numous other interests. I did the first show in January, 1983 with Stanislav Szukalski."

So, I decided to do a half-hour show that would provide exposure to avant-garde artists that were working in popular culture or forms of art that incorporated popular culture.
SNOWMAN STEREOGRAM LICENSE
When cable systems were granted a license to operate part of the provision was that they had to have an open channel for the public to access and use in a non-profit manner.
SNOWMAN STEREOGRAM TV
To quote him again from the AH in 3-D interview, he says "I found out in 1983 that it was possible for anyone to have their own TV show. In 1983 Ray created his own public access TV program called "The Zone Show". (And, as far as we are concerned, he will always be The King.).

This is when he got dubbed "The King of the 3-D Comics". He converted or produced over 130 3-D comic books - more than the total number of titles that were published during the Golden Age in the 1950's. I mastered the crossed eyes faster, but of course, some 3D pictures / stereograms are designed to be shown using the parallel eye technique so they appear as designed.After the bankruptcy of 3-D Video Corporation, about a year later, Ray went out on his own and did the 3-D art conversion for a whole new generation of 3-D comic books. When the 3rd marker appears, you will see the stereogram deep down in the screen. Move the stylus closer or further from your eyes as you cross them and observe if the 3rd visual marker starts to show. Grab a pencil or use your finger and use it to cross your eyes while looking at the stereogram. With the crossed eyes technique you have more chance to see the stereograms. You will know that you are gazing properly if you observe the aids moving around and finally a 3rd visual aid shows in the middle. With the parallel eyes techniques, you gaze past the stereogram picture. Crossed eyes technique – Your line of sight meets earlier than the 3D image and the 3D image will appear engraved deep inside the screen instead of popping out.
