Thanks John. If I somewhat remember, you were trying to implement a new
camera type in SDL which is considerably harder.
What is done here is neat, but it's a post processing trick based upon
using an input image as 3D media.
I was originally thinking of this image->density{}->media{} path in
POV-Ray as a better color alternative to the many-images to three color
df3 technique Stephen and Thomas are implementing for their Dragon Lady
work. It is a variation of a technique that's long been used for clouds.
Thomas on seeing an earlier image->media proposal over in
unofficial.patches made the comment, "That would be interesting and
useful indeed" which got me thinking about more than a replacement for
the image to df3 media method.
What might we be able to do, if we think about accomplishing image
effects & processing by function/pattern control of image based 3D
media(s) in addition to the usual techniques with layers and direct 2D
data manipulations?
Attached is a camera in-motion blurring effect that just happens when
using a small angle (3 deg) perspective camera and the image as 3D
media.
