I hope you will like it 🙂 By the way, high end graphics cards surely have some better fillrates than my 8800GT… Maybe they can focus with good framerates at the highest quality.

  • 8K video and gigapan images show the Olympics in high resolution

    Olympic-Gigapan2.jpg

    The Olympics are always the great proving ground for the latest camera technology, but it’s not just Canon’s EOS-1D X and Nikon’s D4 that are bringing the experience of the games to the wider world. US broadcaster NBC is publishing a series of stitched ‘gigapan’ images from the different venues – including a 3 gigapixel composite of the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, Japanese broadcaster NHK has been collaborating with the UK’s BBC to broadcast the first live, remote 8K footage. There are few screens that can yet show such footage, but tech-site Engadget has written about what it’s like to watch and whether 8K really is ‘the end of the resolution story.’

  • Frequency Separation Technique

    I uploaded this video by request from users on the www.ModelMayhem.com community to show how to do a frequency separation on an image in this sample I show a brief display on how it can be used to smooth skin or remove blemishes but this technique can be used for multiple things, such as contrast,sharpening,adding texture etc. I want to repeat that the Image I’m working on is 8 bit if you want to use this technique on a 16 bit image the settings will be different on the apply image box but the steps will remain the same. I hope you enjoy it. 🙂 16 bit settings & 8 bit settings below www.modelmayhem.com For a modern and affordable portfolio website go to 4ormat.com Use promo code 74383df0b4
