Steam Engine- Working Model in SketchyPhysics

[Jackson]

Just a few pics of this working model of a steam engine I did using SketchyPhysics- the model is posted in the SketchyPhysics subforum.

As I explain there, it's not finished and probably never will be, but I thought I may as well post it for others to play with.

Nice Jackson.

Did you purposefully blurr the image in certain areas to make it look as though it was a photograph focused in the center? Nice effect.

Thanks Eric,

The best thing about it (if I may say so ) is setting it going using the SketchyPhysics plugin- it's great fun watching it slowly start moving before getting up to full speed.

The blur is done using Lewis' brilliant SU Fog/Styles trick to create a depth map from SU and then copying that to the alpha channel in PhotoshopCS3 and applying the "Lens Blur" filter to select the focal distance and depth of field.
