Thanks Rodrigo!

This is wonderful. I would love to see more.
Miklós Falvay 7 months ago

Thanks Dale!

I'm working on an opening sequence of a new documentary with this technique. But this time I can work with much better pictures, because the film is about the great photographer Robert Capa. I will share the finished result soon!

Awesome stuff, really brings life back to the old pics. Love how the faults and spots are part of the 3d scene as well ... really well done.
Miklós Falvay 7 months ago

Thanks!
Arcturus Aldebaran 7 months ago

Well done, the long hard working hours are really showing in this video....Picking up the little specks of the picture really helps with the depth perception.

(I have been to Balaton! :-D )
Miklós Falvay 7 months ago

Hi Arcturus, thanks the comment! In the movie there are three 3D images with the Balaton, which aren't in this reel unfortunaltely. : (
But I'll spent the whole weekend there! Cheers!
Arcturus Aldebaran 7 months ago

Hello, thanks for your reply. There is however that "Balaton" on that guy's truck :-D
Looking forward to the whole thing...Have a nice weekend!
Miklós Falvay 7 months ago

Ah, yes! There is "Balatoni út" which is an address, and means "road toward the Balaton". But the petrol station was in the capitol, more than hundred miles away.
Thanks, anyway!

Is that 3d - looks really good, colud you go through the process - its worth a sharing.

Hi Phon, there is a short screen captured scene from this project in my COMPOSITING REEL video.

Joel Wagner 7 months ago

Having done camera mapping animations before, I know how much work goes into getting it to look right. So congrats to a job well done! The only thing I don’t like is the chromatic aberration, I don’t think it adds anything and in fact is somewhat distracting.
Miklós Falvay 7 months ago

Hi Joel, thanks the comment! Yes, the chromatic aberration gives a little "fisher price look", but at the other hands it creates a little holographic feeling here as well. Which is nice. Maybe too much sometimes. : )
Alina & Zareh Tjeknavorian 1 week ago

Yes, beautiful work Miklos.

May I ask what you guys are referring to by 'chromatic aberration'?
Joe Moya 7 months ago

Wow... that is some nice work
jcbd 7 months ago

Wow, so much work, but a beautiful result. Sets the bar high for use of old b/w photos.
Alex Hay 7 months ago

Fantastic! Super-effective technique! How long did it take you per photo roughly?
Miklós Falvay 7 months ago

Hi Alex, I made more than 40 pictures with this technique, and at the start of the project I was a totally beginner. It is very dependent on the pictures, but roughly 3 days/photo is the making time. This includes the preparing of the photo with Photoshop, which is sometimes the bigger part.
Skevos Mavros 7 months ago

Adding specks of dust at various distances from the camera is great, it keeps the "antique" feel while moving through 3D, and helps with simulating depth.

I love the render between 0:30 and0:40 - the way you kept the small dots on the image is just impressive... I felt like watching Avatar at the after-burning scene. Amazing work.

Please consider to render a second, stereoscopic pass and upload trueColor3D and falseColor3D (anaglyph) as well :-) Awesome work. Beautifully selected, prepared, timed and animated.

Hermoso, gran trabajo.
Frank Glencairn 6 months ago

Awesome. I try to something like that in Adobe After Effects in the moment, but it drives me nuts. A little tutorial that covers the basics, like how you prepare the oics in Photoshop and how to get the distances right, would be just great.
Miklós Falvay 6 months ago

Hi Frank,
I was in the same situation a year ago. I started the project in Fusion5, which is a similar compositing software like AE, but Fusion5 has better 3D capabilities. However, making some test with the software, I realized this wont be work with simple planes. I have to build models, 3D shapes and project the pictures as textures to them. I newer used any 3D software, but I heard about Blender, which is an open source 3D application and find these great tutorials from Andrew Price and Colin Levy:
blenderguru.com/camera-mapping/
colinlevy.com/tutorials.php

These tutorials really helped me to start the project, but instead of the sticky mapping finally I used UV mapping as in this video:
youtube.com/watch?v=ToMpcXGf0-c

I hope these tuts help you as well!
Miklós Falvay 6 months ago

And you can see a 3D viewport viewed scene in my compositing showreel video.
Frank Glencairn 6 months ago

Thanks for your prompt answer. I work on 3D programs since years, but thought AE would be easier. It´s not. Back to square one. Time to fire up the 3D program.

Jason V 5 months ago

Hi Miklos,
Thanks for sharing. I'm assuming you created a lot of those background from scratch. I was thinking that they were somehow extrapolated from the image and rendered somehow. I'm completely new to Blender so I'm sensing a steep learning curve.

Will check out the tutorials.

Miklós Falvay 5 months ago

Hi Jason,
Sorry for the delayed answer. Yes, there was two different method to use the damages of the photos. The simplest way was to use textures with scratches. This textures was on independent planes in the 3D space and they were composited with the multiply node. The other method was, when I cut the tiny dirty spots from the original pictures, and multiply them with Blender's particle system.

Naturally that's going to be a big plus for Blender and rightly so. I think that is what all the people who have 3D see isn't it? Its the kind of thing that will get people interested in 3D I think, a good 2.5D migration step.
