[Time Challenge] Time-Bend (PS 2.0)

[hellfire]

Here's a little entry to the challenge.
It's basically just a short camera-path around an object, but every pixel shows a different "time" of the animation.
The time-index of each pixel is determined by a simple 2d-plasma which makes the model appear to bend forth and back.
Enjoy.

Stuff used:
The 3D-Model was taken from here,
fixed up and prelightened in 3ds max,
specular environment map by Paul Debevec,
diffuse convolution created with hdr shop,
normal-map retouched with Photoshop.

For those not equipped with a shader 2.0 card, here is a short video.

Pretty nice, the model looks so real 

Interesting that the shader code looks so simple, in terms of lines,  but produces a great effect.

Uhh .. that's looks very cool and even runs on my laptop.
Awesome work, Mr. Hellfire!

Nippletastic!

Reminds me quite a bit of Cubism.

Very nice work!

[Shockwave]

That effect is really mesmerising.

I love how liquid the model looks when the time delay effect starts to happen.

[TinDragon]

very impressive visuals, looks highly polished material that the statue is made from.

Very smooth! How many thousands of polygons must be on there?

[hellfire]

not too many, 7391 quads to be precise.
The surface just looks so "round" because I applied some blurring to the normal-map.

Looks like I was beaten by the best, which is the best entry to be beaten by

Congratulations!

awesome

Beautifull!

Not sure where the effect is happening though. Is this effect running over a movie (in which the model looks normal without the effect), or is this movie+effect rendered real time?

The model itself isn't actually deforming right?

Anyway, nicely done!

Hi Kirl,

the model is rendered without deformation (and of course in real-time).
While rendering I keep the last 64 frames in memory (so it's indeed kind of a movie) and build a new picture showing a different frame at each pixel position.
The frame for each pixel is determined by a simple 64-color plasma.
It's basically the same effect as those classic "slime/rubber vectors" in many early-90's demos (eg here).
