Melotte 15 as an experimental 3D-study



I have done several 3D-studies out of my astronomical images. Models are based on some known scientific facts and an artistic impression. This is an approximation to the real structure of the nebula, an educated guess, it gives a feel to the object and an idea, what it must really be like.

There are several 3D-modes to see from the same material. Animated 3D, free view stereo pairs and an anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D.

There are nothing else used than a real image elements from the original 2D-shot!

This is amazing, you should really work for BBC, History, NG or Discovery space documentaries. SHOW THEM THESE IMAGES! :D

The 3D animation of Melotte-15 looks awesome!! I love the way in which even the colors remain consistent in specific areas of the animation. Wonderful visualization for the animation!

Do you have a hi res version for sale or download? This would make for an insane phone wallpaper
