Thinking @ Speed of Light

A few days ago I posted this picture of myself on facebook Loads of people asked me how I did this so I decided to make step-by-step a tutorial. It is ridiculously easy. I was going to do a video on this but then decided against it as it would have taken a lot longer and currently I don't have that much time at hand. I'm quite busy with the work @  Mistri Labs Step 1: Setup your camera. You will need camera where you can set exposure manually (Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority will not work too well in this case as the light will vary was the subject moves in the frame). Most P&S and DSLRs have this feature. Even a decent phone camera should work (You might need to download an extra app to set the manual exposure on your phone). You will need a tripod (or any surface that you can place your cam on if you don't have a tripod). - Setup the ISO - Don't use auto because the light changes as you move around the room. - Setup the aperture - For all the p...

I've been learning how to play the guitar for a few now days. As customary I had to render out a 3D image of one (not the exact guitar I'm learning on) I downloaded the basic structure of a guitar form some site a few days back (I forgot the link from where). Anyways it was a simple low poly model so I had made a lot of changes to the same. Refined the whole thing. Did the texturing, lighting and camera setup. After that rendered the whole thing out (took about 20 minutes for each image as 4K). The DOF was added later in Photoshop as rendering it out was too tedious.

Made in under an hour with 3Ds Max 2011. Background image is stock. Okay so i have made the Lightsaber from Star Wars, the Ring from L,O.T.R. , the Gate from Stargate and the TARDIS from Doctor Who. Next up the enterprise.

I was getting a bit annoyed trying to explain a few people (you know who you are) that the iPhone camera is not different from their phone cameras (also having a 5MP sensor) and that with just a bit of hard-work they can also get HDR pictures. All u need is an app that does that for you ... Ok fine for all the people who do not want to install an app on their phone or want to create HDR using a normal "Digi-cam" there is another way. You can use Photoshop (or GIMP for you Open Source freaks) and make yourself a an HDR image. The process is fairly simple but this post is just for the above mentioned people and for all the others who are oblivious to the fact that this can actually be done. So is what u need :              1) A camera that has adjustable exposure settings               2) Photoshop or GIMP (why did they have to name it that?)          ...

I had earlier posted about making use of Max-script for 3Ds max to generate an anaglyph stereoscopic 3D images using 2 simple images. Now this is easy but requires coding and a copy of 3Ds max and is sometimes very time consuming. A much simpler way is to use Photoshop. For this tutorial i will use the same images as in the previous example but you can use any images you like provided that they are recorded properly. Left Eye Image : Right Eye Image: Here are the steps for combining using Photoshop CS4 (will also work for most earlier and later versions). Step 1: Open both images in Photoshop. Step 2: Open and select the right eye image and under channels select green and blue channels(use Shift for multiple selection). Press CTRL+C to copy. Step 3: Open and select the left eye image and under channels select red channel .Press CTRL+V to paste. Step 4: Make sure the eye icon is turned on for all the channels. Step 5: Save left eye image as final image and...

My laptop could not handle the number of polygons in the scene with all the grass(Hair Modifier) with motion blur at the helicopter's rotor blades and kept on crashing so i made it in 3 different parts and joined together in Photoshop....Total rendering time 70 mins
