perspectives

hello friends,

here are some experiments with images extracted from panoramas and converted into planar mercator projections

ideas and suggestions are appreciated - as always

Exciting functional structure for people and 3D world.




Valentin,

This is so remarkable. It works well with people! It presents the geometry in a particularly pleasing way that seems "logical too! I'm impressed. So could you show more versions of this and how you got there. To what extent can you move a pano from one software to another?

I like the way that the design provides a unique view that is nevertheless familiar enough that we can find the people there being almost heroic and not feel it's distorted beyond acceptable boundaries for reality.

thank you Asher for the interest and the kind words
here is the spherical panorama

from the equirectangular I used pano2vr to transform the panorama into a mercator projection

the interior of a church from Timisoara

the St Peter and Paul Greek Catholic Church - mercator projection

and its entrance in mirror ball projection

thank you for the interest

very nice.... what software did you use?

Hi,

I think that presented pictures are inegal but i find two that are really excellent :





They go further than simple geometrical game, they have human presence and strong visual impact, as a social autopsy : they make me think of my butcher which use to delicately cut the meat to make each piece perfectly presented.

Cedric.

thank you both for the interest.

regarding the software: I use pano2vr with some specific options on the mercator projection.

for the church I intended to express an organic perspective: the believers seats are placed under some angelic wings to find some comfort and peace; the church is supposed to be something like this - and sorry, as vegetarian, I am strongly opposed to ideas of butcher and meat; regarding the Vltava terrace - well - there is a beer terrace with people enjoying a summer afternoon; the statue over there is of a famous composer - Smetana I did no justice and the clear air after an afternoon shower arranged for a magic light; but as I am in a process of learning please let me know which orientation you think is appropriate to continue my seek of the good light
