3D effects...

[Lin Evans]

A number of ways have been devised to present images in a three dimensional mode. Some, especially in animation use layers to hold objects which may be moved in front of or behind other objects. Also dynamic changes in size of objects as they approach or depart from the observers perspective can simulate 3D. Of course having two objects with slightly different capture positions may be viewed "cross-eyed" and the human brain interprets this as it would had the object been viewed real time with our overlapping fields of view. Then there is anaglyphic photography where red and cyan glasses are needed to see the effect.

Finally there is oob (out of bounds) processing which introduces perspective distortion, shadows, image size and position relative to a "frame" which would normally encompass the image. Having portions of an image inside with other parts outside make a realistic if somewhat imaginary three dimensional effect.

The image below is an "oob" construct representative of this technique. My original was quite amenable to this technique. Images which have a subject coming toward or going away from the observer at an angle, and especially those with an appendage (arm, leg, head, etc.) ahead, reaching, etc., are especially amenable.

For those interested in seeing more of these as well as 3D animations, here's a link to a 19 meg Windows zipped executable file where I have several more oob images depcting motion into and out of frames as well as motion animation using techniques mentioned above. The executable has been thoroughly tested and certified free of any harmful threats (worms, virus, spyware, trojans, etc.).

I was just wandering around and stumbled on your post. Sorry no one has commented in 2 says. Very interesting technique and you did a good job on the demo file. I really liked the one with the planets and the iguana opening his eyes. Nice job.

Thanks much for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it,

Best regards,

Lin the above photo and processing are really wonderful. I enjoyed seeing it and plan to have a look at the others.

Lin,

Laycey grabed me and told me to get my butt over here and look at your thread!! Boy am I glad I did!! I liked everything you've done with this thread and it is exciting to think about what can be done. I will be looking for more of your work now that I have seen it!

Thanks for posting and bring some real excitement to our lives. Now if I could learn how to attach some of my flute music to my threads, wow, that could be fun!!

Thanks Lacey and Dakota,

I don't get a chance to do artistic things with images too often, primarily I work as a commercial photographer doing work for art galleries and their clients, but it's a fun diversion now and then to try and tap some creativity. Thanks very much for the feedback!

Best regards,

Lin

whoa.... brilliant

Very impressive Lin. Thanks for the interesting description of the technique. Makes me want to try something like that myself one day.

Wow, I'm inspired, I think I might have just the shot to try something like this with.
Thanks Lin.
