Image forming appts. used in special effects and animation - uses multiple light sources to illuminate object and multiple mirrors to reflect views of the object onto screen

摘要

The image is synthesized with several light sources and a set of mirrors fixed solidly on the same support, and is presented on a screen. The light sources are 100W low tension halogen bulbs that illuminate an object from different angles. The mirrors 'view' the object from different angles and reflect that view onto the screen. The mirrors are inclined at angles that ensure that all the light rays are reflected onto a common plane corresponding to the position of the screen. One or more coloured transparent filters can be placed in the path of the light to form a multicolour image. ADVANTAGE - Simpler generation of images.
