After shooting two slightly angled photos I tried to find out how to make a red-green 3D picture of it. After half an hour and still no blip what to do or how to load those pics together and no proper simple and short manual - I trashed it.
Well it may is a nice software, but who knows?

Horrid UI was pretty vague. It's a bit minimalist on info, and the operations sometimes have to be conducted in the right order to work. Not always intuitive.

I was clear enough about the stereograms. What i said was true. Truly random patterns, especially at highresolution are TOO random, such that when viewed properly, it's possible to see the image as intended, or often as somewhat garbled. Only big blocky elements are identifiable, and an evenly distributed black/white gradient in the source didn't yield an evenly receding stereogram image.
Even when using a fractal, elements had to be big and blocky to make out. Strange lines appear where breaks are made to alter depth, making them more confusing to the eye.
Images were more successful using asymetric sample tiles.

I didn't say blue/yellow glasses didn't exist, i merely said i hadn't encountered them. That's why i didn't comment on that type of image. My complaint regarding red/green glasses was not only because i hadn't heard of them, it was because where documentation referred to Red/Green, it was referring to what came out as Red/Cyan, the most common type.

I'm not stupid. I saw and tried the various ways of making selections, and for whatever reason, after using the software for a while, trying different things, making a selection would no longer make "Convert" available.
Also, the "Multi Static" dialog box forgets the previously set # of colors.
Zoom has it's own problems. When on, i loaded another image. When i turned zoom, off, the zoomed out image was the prior one.
Conversion won't operate on a zoomed image.
I like the animated 3D flag, but more choices as to it's appearance and output mode is needed. It animates quickly, but when captured, flows much more slowly.
The "6 Sided 3D Cube" operates in a non-intuitive way; i.e. having to load the first picture and convert, before being able to load any others. And nothing in the UI indicates which of the 6 images will appear where.
I also find it a bit odd that you are allowed to load an image for each face, but since there's no option to save animated rotation, only 3 of those sides will be visible.
Also, while playing with various capabilities, i get the occasional pop-up of a blank window and a dialog with an error message, after which the app shuts down.
All that said, this program has an interesting, if eclectic feature set and could be quite interesting if it they functioned in more intuitive ways and with more stability.

If you could email us the exact error message, that would be very useful.

Horrid UI.
Random dot stereograms were iffy: i.e. so random they could be seen more than one way. With a loaded image slightly better but depth range was pretty poor.
I've never encountered so-called "yellow/blue" 3-D glasses, but i don't know WHAT this talk of "red/green" glasses is, since they're red/blue, or more correctly, red/cyan.
Most of the time, whatever image i had loaded, whatever i selected, and however i set the "offset", the "Convert" button remained greyed out.
Didn't look into the software's capabilities all that extensively because it was just frustrating all around.
.
Your comments about the stereograms made little sense and your comments about the 3D glasses are mostly wrong. 3D glasses come in many combinations of Red and either blue/green/cyan. And yes, blue and yellow/amber glasses also exist.
As for the Convert button being disabled, it would have been enabled if you would have made a selection. The big Select All button makes this very easy.
