agep Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hello friends I felt like doing some experimenting the other day. I had a photo of New York taken from the Empire State building The photo is taken by a friend and colleague of me, Johanna Vaart So, I wanted to see if I was able to convert the photo to an anaglyph using A:M. First I used PFHoe, to "track" the photo, by doing so I got the camera position and angle, then I started to create simple proxymodels and placed them accordingly with the photo. When done I made a depthmap using fog. In PhotoShop I used the depthmap as a displacementmap to skew the red channel to the left and green and blue channel to the right. I also made a "tilt-shift miniature" version of the photo Grab your red-cyan glasses and take a look I have also uploaded the wireframe and depthmap Original Photo taken by Johanna Vaart: Wireframe: Depth Map: Anaglyph: Tilt-Shift Miniature: *edit* added a quick animation test: ny_animation_000.mp4 Best regards Stian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 That is another brilliant piece of work, Stian! The problem with anaglyphys is that no matter how hard I try to see around that corner it always just eludes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agep Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thank you so much for the comments guys! The problem with anaglyphys is that no matter how hard I try to see around that corner it always just eludes me. Are you sure about that? I finally figured out a way to do camera mapping. This is a quick test, with a few bugs. Still using the same photo. Keep your glasses on.

agep Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks! Whoooa! Is that the image projected(applied) onto the geometry and then rendered in stereoscope? Awesome...! (work on that camera move though...)Yup. And it only took a couple of seconds to render each frame Yeah, very bad camera movement, it was quick and dirty. I may redo it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Quicktime refuses to play the movie for me! What codec did you use, Stian? I have the latest version of QT but perhaps I am missing a codec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the latest version of QT but perhaps I am missing a codec.That is strange. Even my Nokia phone is able to play this clip without any problems. It is MPEG-4 video in an mp4 container. 3072kbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the latest version of QT but perhaps I am missing a codec. I had to download file first to my HD then I could play it with QT.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 23, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 23, 2010 Wonderful work! I've seen things like that in "making-of" articles on the Star Wars prequels and this looks just as good. I guess they call it "3D matte painting" Very convincing effect! Was the depth map needed to make the animation? You ought to post that on the 3D Photography Forum where I sometimes post my 3D creations.

agep Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Was the depth map needed to make the animation?No, I just stamped the photo on the model from the cameras point of view. Then I activated "Global Color" in the choreography, but did not set any value ion Ambiance Occlusion, This will show the decal as it is, no shadows. Also turned off all settings on the camera except "Final" and "Stereoscopic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
