Stereo Photo Maker for Mac OS 11 Big Sur and Intel Macs

 


I love the Stereo Photo Maker application:  https://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/index.html
The creator, Masuji Suto has done a huge service and gift for the 3D stereo enthusiasts of the world. Originally for Windows, it can be made to work on the Mac using Wineskin/Winery.

Muttyan has released a version of i3dSteroid for M1 Macs. They also have it for the iPhone/iPad.:  https://apps.apple.com/app/i3dsteroid/id467945370

If you don't have the new M1 Macs or just prefer to run SPM on the Mac, you need to get the latest version of Winery:
https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer
I grabbed version v1.8.4.2
Also download the 64 bit version of Stereo Photo Maker.

The steps to wrap that Stereo Photo Maker application to run on Mac is roughly this:

1. Install the Wineskin Winery 2. Update the latest Wrapper Version 3. Then Add an Engine

Create a new blank wrapper (name it Stereo Photo Maker)

Note: the graphics show MyCoolWrapper



Update install components that it asks for.


View the wrapper in the finder. (The wrapper will be installed in the users/yourusername/Applications/Wineskin )

Right Click the "Wrapper" and show package contents

Go to drive_c

Copy the stphmkrpro_e.exe that you downloaded earlier in to "Program Files (x86)"

Now double click and launch the wrapper.


Click advanced and navigate to the stphmkrpro_e.exe file drive in _c/Program Files (x86)/
(Where you placed the sthmkrpro_e.exe)

This tells the wrapper what executable to launch.




Do a test run.  If successful, you are set!  Oh you might change the icon. (You can copy and paste it in the Mac finder.)

The new wrapper is now a standalone package to run Stereo Photo Maker on your Mac running Mac OS 11 Big Sur.
