Fossil Sponges From Russia

[Ludwigia]

Again, I love the animated 3-D rendering!

Might it not be possible to build this effect as a possibility into the Gallery, or is that asking too much?

You can make 3D animation on your computer and then upload .gif file to the gallery ))))

I will ask the stupid question. How can I make a 3D animation on my computer? I looked into doing it via Photoshop, but it seemed overly difficult. Thank you for any insight, but please do not expend effort.

Forgot to say that your animations are wonderful. Thank you for that!

What you need: rotation table, digital camera and a fossil ))) rotate fossil on the table and take pictures from different sides. I made my animation in ImageReady: stack all photos together, them turn layers into frames, choose time delay, save file in GIF-formate and enjoy ))))

Thank you, Evgeny! You are a kind and generous man.

If these are not too difficult to make, I can see them becoming a popular and useful for TFF purposes.. of course your sponges benefit well from this type of presentation (wouldn't be much use for McAbee or similar flat fossils)

I like that they don't take long for my computer to load - hardly any longer than a regular photo!

I'm just creating another 3D-animation

Nice specimens once again.

I really should try rotating my sponges.

Rotation is a key way to show sponge from different angles
