Pete Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I've no idea how but it's very interesting. http://www.lovethatfun.com/Finding_The_Third_Dimension/1037/ I'm sure there are so many factors in this which will make a bad image not work, perspective, angle, lighting etc. Still - the pics they've chosen as examples look very good.

mathew Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 that is very cool but also mind numbing when you are trying to suss out ways of how they done it:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 very cool, although its just a 2d picture manipulated to look like 3D perspective. Still neat though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renar Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Wow, that actually looks pretty cool considering that it's actually 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Makes making maps etc in 3D possible Is that the most exciting thing you could think of? How about those Monday morning Pinder Pics in 3D? 3D Double D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hehe, not the most exciting, maybe more practical. Need some virtual gloves or sommat to make your idea really come to life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Trickery to make 2D look like it's 3D. Similar to audio methods of using R-L with some delay as a surround channel. Nothing new is actually produced here, notice how the 'camera' never goes at the back, top or bottom of the building/train/ship/whatever. Also uses repetitive patterns, where it squashes and intentionally loses some info, which is later stretched and re-emerges as '3D' detail. Needs work.

I can't see how it's going to get much better though with the sparse information presented in one photo. It's still jolly clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 It cannot get any better because there is no extra information. This one extrapolates and manipulates existing pixels. Notice how they already have some perspective, so the additional squashing and stretching passes unnoticed (well, relatively!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
