tilt shift effect on 3d fractals

« on: July 06, 2010, 01:35:56 PM »

i liked the tilt shift effect very much, here is a web site
http://tiltshiftmaker.com/

sad but true, downloading of images is not working right now but i think this effect would also look good
on fractals, to create the illusion of a microscopic image

after reading this and seeing your other thread about this effect I remembered one of my fav videos on vimeo. It looks like a toy model world but its not - its all real - check these out!

I think the tricks are, take photo from above, make the depth of field effect strong (as though the camera's lens is large compared to the object), make sure the sun is high in the sky, and if you do a stereoscopic image, you make each eye far apart.
All these effects make the photographer seem large compared to the image, or rather, make the image look small.

All those things you can do already in mandelbulber, and there are several images by buddhi that do make the object look microscopic.

I have already seen many images within this Forum that have a similar effect, and videos as well.

Yes, a prime example of the way that excessively blurring the foreground and background of fractals will cause pretty much the same effect as seen on the Tilt Shift web page. It makes the image appear like it is not "real", but a fake, as in a "model" being photographed.

AFAIK, it's basically an artifact of tilt-shift lenses:
When you tilt or shift the image plane, the DoF is strongly decreased and you also get increased vignetting...

Those vids are a perfect example of how an actual lens imperfection is turned into an advantage

(Those are high quality lenses. AFAIK, it's physically impossible to get lenses to NOT do that when shifting or tilting the image plane....)

Astonishing how well it works, the Bathtub vids are funny, half of the boatsmen must be seriously drunk grin

Well, using the Z buffer yields better options, though a disc bokey and strong near blurring lead to some artifacts because u need pixels behind the structures that are not calculated.

But with cautious usage it is a nice option...
