A combination of techniques I've used before individually. LAB data is here rendered as a series of nested spheres with colour based on the velocity. Blender's realtime view is used, as that clips faces pointing away from the camera. Finally it also uses an extremely wide-angle lens, which gives the distortion affects at the edges.
Nice. Eerily reminiscent of a uniquely catastrophic hangover I once endured. What is the data behind this one, Rhys ?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fusion of The Eye of Sauron and 2001 A Space Odyssey.
ReplyDeleteEvent Horizon Here's one I made earlier, displayed in a slightly more intuitive way :

In this one I did some more complex processing to generate the colours. The camera motion is a simple linear trajectory right through the centre, but it has an extremely wide field of view to give the heavy distortions near the edges.
