Nice rendering!

Thanks Carlos and hkv.

It was fun - but quite time consuming. This was my first explorative steps towards a more complete 3D-rendering of one of my amber inclusions.

The main advantage is that the amber insect does not move at all. One of several problems is that the thickness of the amber affect the picture quality of the part of the insect that is deeper into the amber.

Hi
Thanks for the comments!

Got a question in the older thread
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... hp?t=29284

"I assume this is a depth map generated from the stack, extruded and textured?"

No not this one it is done in PhotoScan, using 21 camera positions like this one:

Nikon plan apo 4x and 2,5x projection lens so 10x on sensor (24 x36 mm).
