Photoelasticity effect


Recommended Posts

Guys, if you do an internet search using the term "photoelasticity" you can find some weird but cool pictures. Here's a Wikipedia page about it : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelasticity

CC4 - That just looks like photographing polarised light? :/
Try putting polaroid sunglasses in front of the camera (and twisting them)?

words = good
Pictures = 1000 * better. ;)

Photo = anything to do with light?
Elasticity??? most things we consider 'elastic' do not obey Hook's law - or was it the crocodile?
Is 'Elastic' an elastomer? - Young's modulus and all that! - then there's the Shore A and B!

The point I'm trying to make is that a well explained question is more likely to get a well explained reply.
- Do I sound too grumpy? :( ;)
Pictures, links and a full explaination do help, both for techniques or possible plugins.

I do sound grumpy! :D
SvSlazer18 - welcome to the forum! - Imagine you are the person reading the initial post? - it's a bit cryptic!

@Red - Grumpy ............... Nah ;) .

 

I think this is what he's looking for here.

 

So all he needs to do is master this and this.

 

Good luck @SvSlazer :) .

I hope this is what you're after :D

 

1. Open an image (Black and White seemed to work nicely)

 

2. Duplicate the layer

 

3. On the top layer Set the Blend mode to Negation.

 

4. Run Self Negation (http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/25083-color-self-negation-now-v11/) with these settings

5. Apply a 2px Gaussian Blur to the top layer.

 

6. Flatten and save.

I'm sure there are other techniques.  Metalize and Bizaro-Negation plugins might be worth a look.
