Lincoln Wheat Cent RPMs in 3D

rmpsrpms · October 22, 2014 12:21PM

I've been doing high resolution 2D and 3D Imaging of Top 100 and lesser Lincoln Wheat Cent RPMs and have completed a nice group for folks to view. Here is the link to the folder on photobucket:

As a former photographer by trade, specializing in macro work, (though admittingly fallen behind),
I'd like you to know that these are Blowing My Mind!
Stunning work!!!

Love it Ray. Stunningly Cool!!

That is freaking awesome!!!

Tookybandit · October 22, 2014 12:38PM

Groovy!

Absolutely stunning. It's like looking at the surface of a planet with its mountains and valleys. Well worth the perusal. Thank you for sharing.

Me to. Will check back later and see if I can see some pics!

ok, i can see them again, phew. since it was a new-ish thread, i wanted rpm to know right away in the event it was something he did on his end with the albums or public settings.

Back for me too, very cool work!

Exactly what I was thinking. Mars Rover images...

cool

Thanks everyone! Photobucket has lots of hiccups, so if it messes up just try again in a little while. They don't make any guarantees about reliability...Ray

Remember the old video game BattleZone? I feel like I am playing it while I'm doing the rendering. This one sort of has that character:

Incredible!! It looks like a view from an electron scanning microscope. Well done!

I do remember BattleZone. Early '80s. You could feel the shells exploding nearby and of course when you got hit. Plugged a lot of quarters into that machine (and drank quite a few beers).

what a view of a coins surface...i feel like an astronaut looking for a place to land my ship on
"can you hear me major tom"

it is so funny others see that as a martian surface. it was the exact same thought i had too. in fact, the first thought i think i had was the following movie. do you know it? i would have posted sooner but i

was over at vamworld doing some discovery pages and posting.

koynekwest · October 22, 2014 5:15PM

That's simply outstanding!! I'd love to see some of the better doubled dies in this format-Lincolns, Buffalos, and Washingtons-everything!

leothelyon · October 22, 2014 6:10PM

Someone needs to pay you for your services and get those kind of pics in a reference book.

SullivanNumismatics · October 22, 2014 10:42PM

An interesting way to look at them--thanks for posting the link.

messydesk · October 22, 2014 11:16PM

Very cool! This would be a really good way to illustrate the difference between die doubling and strike doubling. Even better if you can output a portable 3D surface that can be viewed with something like Paraview. And then even better than that would be hosting them on your own web space and using a Java 3D viewer plugin that would allow viewing as a 3D object without separate software.

Smoeone loan him a 3D printer!

Good ideas, if I only had time to put that together. I can output a depth map that can be rendered on most any viewer, no problem. Been thinking of hosting my own images rather than using PB.

Wow, exceptional photography.

Absolutely amazing Ray - You da man!

John...can you recommend a good Java 3D viewer? ...Ray

Try JSC3D. There are some demos there that work quite well.

guitarwes · October 24, 2014 1:24AM

Those are sick, and I mean that in the very best hip sense of the phrase. Wow.

LanceNewmanOCC · October 24, 2014 1:58AM

<< Try JSC3D. There are some demos there that work quite well. >>

that looks very familiar. i recall watching some footage/documentaries regarding scanning objects in 3d into a nice software program that permitted full rotation functionality and editing. they were scanning small objects all the way up to large marble sculptures. the software rendering looks very similar if not exactly the same.
