The ExPASy logo took about 10 hours to be rendered as an antialiased 1400 x1750 image
with Bryce Canyon running on a 8100/80 Macintosh.
Creation Details
First, contour lines of the Matterhorn/Cervin/Cervino were traced from a
1:25000 map of the Zermatt region. The mountain was then created by "skinning"
of the contour lines with Strata-Studio Pro
and exported as a 3D DXF object into DeepView which
computed a grayscale-depth image that was imported
into Bryce Canyon,
where it was used as a template for the creation of the mountain.
The same operations were repeated with the text of the logo.
The final scene composition, texture tweaking and rendering were performed with
Bryce Canyon.
ExPASy stereogram

The Stereogram took about 7 seconds to be rendered as a 800 x800 image
with DeepView
running on a 8100/80 Macintosh.
Creation Details
The 3D DXF-Objects used to create the ExPASy logo were imported into
DeepView which computed a stereogram by deforming a texture that was created
with Photoshop. The texture was obtained by blending
several layers (two color gradients, two layers containing amino-acids rendered with
RasMol, and one layer containing a repetitive texture
generated with the help of several Photoshop filters).

has nothing to do with them, since they were created during my spared time.
