The "Cat's Eye" nebula as an animated 3D

Please, let the image load for few seconds to see it animated!


I made an animated 3D-presentation from the Cat's Eye nebula too.
Since threre was difficulties with a star field around it, I removed all other stars but the central star of the nebula. The spherical nature of this planetary nebula can be now seen without eye tricks, like in a stereo pair.

Original post, 2D-images and details, from this target can be seen HERE.
Other 3D-formats, like anaglyph 3D, Paralle and Cross vison stereo pairs, can be seen HERE.

NOTE! This is a personal vision about forms and shapes, based on some known facts and artistic impression.

Sorry, there is some artifacts in image, mainly stars. This is an experimental technique yet.

One more test with a 3D-animation of nebulae

The current version of  an animation algorithm seems to broduce some artifacts to stars,
not at every time but now and then. After all, this algorithm is originally ment for regular images.
I made a test with a IC 410 nebula image with supressed stars, the actual nebulosity is much more clear and since there is no stars, animation is clean.

Please, let the images load for few seconds to see them!

A starless version of IC 410 delivers an artifact free image. (Looks like a Baroque painting.)

A 3D-animated version of M45, even though there is a dense star field,
just few artifacts can be seen.

New 3D animations from deep space objects

I have made several stereo images from the astronomical targets to a different stereo 3D formats.
You'll find many of them from here: http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/f359296072
Due the distance, we can not have enough parallax to create real stereo pairs from deepsky objects.
I have developed, some time ago, a method to add volumetric information to a 2D astro images.
This information is based on some known facts and an artisic impression.

Here are samples of my 3D-visualizations.
This time a special technique is used to turn two slightly different images from a stereo pair to an animation.

Please, let the images load for few seconds to see them!

All animations here are made by using an experimental web service. It'll turn Left and Right images from any stereo pair to a smoothly animated picture. If you'll like to give a try, please, go here: http://www.start3d.com/
