Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX: Parallax Universe
Published:
This is a mapped textured stereogram that needs to be viewed using parallel viewing.
The main character Amate “Machu” Yuzuriha from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX gazes intently ahead in Kira-Kira. In other parallel universes, if Machu had not become a Gundam pilot, perhaps she would only witness the collapse of her own universe.
Kira-kira version:
Process:
- Idea
- A mapped textured stereogram consisting of horizontally repeating patterns is very suitable for expressing the concept of parallel universes.
Additionally, inspired by the paper on the Oz vision system, I believe that when the interactions of Minovsky particles focused on stimulating the M-cones of Newtypes, they would experience extremely vivid visual phenomena, such as the color “olo.” However, this concept did not materialize in the final illustration.

Rough
- lineart
- Depth map
- Separates the light and shadows like cel shading, and highlights the kira-kira in front of Machu, however, due to the complexity of the depth map shape, the resulting stereogram is not effective.

- Cel shading
- Set the character part of the depth map to overlay mode to cover the base color.

- An improved depth map
- Only retain the characters and soften the shadows to achieve a more natural effect.

- Rendering
- Add a bit of transition on top of the cel shading and highlight the red accents on Machu’s hair and uniform.

- Stereogram
- Import the depth map and texture into the Stereogram Generator to create a mapped textured stereogram.
- Here are the parameters used for this illustration:

- Modify the stereogram
- Add Machu in kira-kira at the center of the stereogram, and use layer effects to diminish the other versions of Machu that are not in kira-kira.

- Background
- Use the air brush and the ‘Snow Gum’ brush to paint the background.

- Rendering the background
- Use motion blur to soften the background, brighten the upper part of the image to highlight the character.

- Remove distortions
- The mapped textured stereogram generated by this software produces distortions that show through the background, which are repaired with brushes.
