How perfectly appropriate it seemed that a study of camera mapping utilizing Blender’s UV unwrapping option (Project from view), and as recently revisited by Blender Guru’s Andrew Price through his second tutorial on the subject, quickly summoned up the image created nearly 500 years ago by one of my most beloved artists and pioneers in the science of perspective, Albrecht Dürer. His wood cut was one of his marvelous illustrations contained in his treatise on measurement and one of his last ones made before his death in 1528 at the age of 56, just a few weeks short of his 57th birthday.

In this (my first) animation made using this technique and Blender, the concept of recreating the camera’s 3D spatial location (something I’m sure Albrecht would have grooved on!) became more fascinating to me than the the outcome of camera mapping alone.

City crews have been steadily working around Ellsworth all week cleaning up after last weekend’s massive snow storm with many crew members reportedly logging in between 90 and 100 hours. Great job guys – thank you!
