Papervision 3D & Anaglyphs

http://blog.papervision3d.org/
In my research I’ve heard of a freeware program called Papervision a couple of times. Barcinski Jeanjean, whose interactive 3D porfolio I mentioned earlier, employed it in the making of their website. From what I can gather the program allows you to render object in 3D which you can move around with movements of your mouse. The...
Holography
from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hologramm.JPG
“A hologram is a picture that changes when looked at from different angles. Holography (from the Greek, ὅλος-hólos whole + γραφή-grafē writing, drawing) is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to...

http://www.starosta.com/3dshowcase/iphanto.html
From Boris Startosta’s website
“A phantogram is a special kind of print that projects the 3-d image of an object out into the space in front of (or on top of) the printed surface. As such, a phantogram presents the three dimensional object without borders. There is no “window” through which the 3-d is...
Thoughts on anaglyph technology
Out of the techniques I have investigated for this project, I have had the enjoyed looking at the technology associated with anaglyphs the most. Ive done a 3D studio shoot, photographed some of the exhibitions in the museum in anaglyph and a 3D stop motion animation. I have also seen how some practitioners have put the technology to use in websites and in installations. I think that from the...
WatchStop Motion Anaglyph Animation
Watch this with a pair of 3D red and blue anaglyph glasses .
Inspired by barcinski & jeanjean’s 360 degree anaglyph panorama, ive made a small animation of my room to test the technique and see if i could recreate it.
A stop-motion animation created from cyan / red anaglyph photographs. I was trying to combine anaglyphs with a 360 degree view of my room,...
Barcinski & Jeanjean: Making of their website blog
Part Two
Here they describe the process of capturing the images they used for their anaglyph website. They shot the images of the bridge and themselves separately and combined them later using software.
Part Three
This part talks about rendering 3D animations and 2D text together in anaglyph. The idea of giving out 3D anaglyph glasses, which are cheap to make, with their website address...
Barcinski & Jeanjean
http://www.barcinski-jeanjean.com/
James pointed out this portfolio website for Barcinski & Jeanjean, two designers from amsterdam. They have made an impressive 3D anaglyph website, complete with a 3D ping pong mini game that plays while the site loads. What i found most impessive was the interactive 3D panorama that you see when you first inter the site.
New stuff
Look at these through some red/cyan 3d glasses.
Inspired by the work of thomas couderc + clément vauchez posted below. I think that their approach to the anaglyph technology was interesting and unconventional. Rather than combining two almost identical images to create a 3D illusion, two juxtaposed images are layered on top of each other, each only visible by the lens of its corresponding colour....

Videos of an installation by thomas couderc + clément vauchez using the anaglyph style technique descried in the post below. I find it interesting how rather than have viewer of the piece wear anaglyph glasses as they walk around the exhibit they have played alternating translucent strips of red and blue filters in front of the images, so that when a viewer...
thomas couderc + clément vauchez
These are awsome, using the same principles as Anaglyphs, having one image in red and another blue, but not matching ones, when you look at them with 3D glasses the images superimpose ontop of each other, very cool. Must try out something along these lines.
work by thomas couderc + clément vauchez. see more here
Animations
Animations made from the two photos used to create the museum anaglyphs. Presenting the images like this could give viewers that don’t have or can not wear the red/cyan glasses an impression of what the exhibits mite look like in 3D or reality.
Museum Anaglyphs
3D Anaglyph Photographs. To see the 3D effect you will need a pair of Red/Cyan 3D glasses.
I Went to the museum in search of some more thing to photograph in anaglyph. The museum was suggested to me in a crit so i went to check it out. I think the exhibits of a museum are a good subject for the use of anaglyoh photography because it allows people that haven’t been to see the exhibits in...

Mini Meanwood
An artificial tilt and shift picture created by using photoshop on an ordinary photograph. Comparing this with the shots i got using the tilt and shift lens makes me think that creating the miniature-esc type photographs is easeir and more successful using photoshop than it would be using the special lens. Photoshop allows you to manipulate the focus and blur more extremely than the lens allows,...

I am going to fake tilt and shift some of my snaps and compare the results I get with the ones I got using the Tilt and Shift lens. I expect the Photoshop results to look more like miniatures than the ones I got with the lens…

Tilt and Shift Minatures... Thoughts
Recently I have been using a tilt and shift lens to try and create images that look as if they are small models, like miniature villages. Ive had a little success getting this effect but I’m under the impression the most successful way to achieve what I’m after, is in fact to use a photograph shot with a standard lens and to apply the tilt and shift effect through Photoshop. To do this...

Keigo lizuka a scientst from Canada has devised a way to customise a normal LCD screen, like those on laptops and computeres. Seems pretty complicated, but I might see if I can get my head round it.
My Tilt and Shift from the top of woodhouse...
I booked out a Cannon TS-E 24mm, Tilt and Shift lens from uni and took out trying to recreate the miniature appearance of some images I have seen. This is my first attempt, although I think they were successful I want to try and get some more images, my biggest obstacle, now that I have got to grips with the working of lens, is finding suitable locations to shoot from, from my experience these...
Tilt and Shift this week...
Tilt and Shift Flickr Group
Im moving on from anaglyphs for the time being, this week I want to investigate Tilt and Shift photography, and get to grips with use the dedicated lens. In paticular im interested in manipulating the technique, usualy used to keep the perspective right in architecture photography, to make photographs that look like they are of minatures or models. This effect can be...
Thoughts on anaglyph photography
For the past week Ive been getting into anaglyph photography, researching how they are created and attempting my own. At first I practiced the technique at home, to make an anaglyph you have to take two nearly identical photographs of the same scene, the second must be shot about 4 or 5 inches to the left or right of the first. Then the images are tinted cyan and red to match the left or right...

Anaglyphs
With my Redscale Film investigation nearly complete Im starting to think about my next project.. I plan to make a series of 3D photographs using the Anaglyph technique. These are the 3D pictures yo can see when looking at specially prepared photograph through red/cyan glasses. First I will experiment with my digital camera to practice the process. Then i could think about recreating the effect...
Thoughts on Redscale Film
My Redscale Set on Flickr
For the past week I have been experimenting with Redscale film. I have shot 3 rolls, one in a 35mm Olympus RC range finder, one in a very simple plastic point and shoot and finally one in my Pentax SLR. As well as trying it in 3 different cameras I’ve tried to shoot different scenes and locations to compare the results and weather the effects of Redscale are suited...

Making Redscale Film
To make a roll of redscale film you will need: tape, scissors, one roll of normal 35mm colour film unused and one empty 35mm film.
First, cut the leader or the unused film so it is straight and use the tape to attach it to the end of the used canister. Make sure that the films are taped to each other facing in opposite directions, so that the back of the first film is attached to the same side...
Giant Polaroid Photography of Joachim Knill

Joachim Knill has constructed the worlds largest Polaroid camera. It creates 20 x 30 inch prints, impressive!
He creates his own constructed scenes, much like set design for the theatre or a play. The scenes are created temporarily for the duration of the shoot only. The scenes have their own lighting with in them, the light they emit expose the polaroid and...

“Through my photos, I strive to find beauty in the mundane. It is hard to describe to passers-by why, exactly, i am photographing the side of a bus or standing on a ladder on the side of a road; trying to reach a sign. Most of the time, however, people will see the beauty that I am...

Redscale Film
Redscale flickr group
Redscaling film is when you expose film from the opposite side that it was intended, having light pass through the emulsion of the film first rather than last. This achived by winding the 35mm film on to an already empty 35mm the wrong way round in a darkroom, so that when the film is shot in a camera the film inside is the back to front. This creates images with a strong...
Three dimensional Anaglyph photo project idea...
Anaglyph glasses image from google
Make a series of 3D anaglyph photographs taken with Lo-Fi Photography equipment, and produce a book from them. Anaglyphs images are made from the combination of two seperate photographs taken from the perspective of the left and right eye. To experience the 3D effect the viewer must wear Cyan/Red 3D glasses. The two photographs are tinted cyan and red...
Pinhole Photography Idea
Matchbox pinhole from http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/03/pinenut_pinhole_camera.html
Make a collection of homemade pinhole cameras out of cans or tins etc. Then place them around Leeds in public places for a given time unattended, for a long exposure, and return later to collect the image. Then with all of the collected images create a final piece, either a website, animation or book to...
