3d Kaleidoscope Explosion Using Cinema 4d

PROCESS

 Creating a plane and extruding it a little bit

 Inserting the picture

Using a plug in - nitroblast to break the picture

Using deformers and putting randomly all the broken pieces into a space of a sphere

FINAL OUTCOME

Note : click on the pictures below and see them in order, it gives you the feeling of movement.

When we see a 2D picture our mind is what makes it 3D according to our experiences because we know the perspectives/angles. In other words we look at something which is 2D and we build a 3D picture in our mind. For example in reality when we look at something each one of us observes it differently, based on what we think it's more important for us: colours, shapes, materials. Every person is different and doesn't pay attention to they same things in an image, what attract us we see it bigger and what not smaller, by doing this it's as if we rearrange what we see and what affects us and filter it. 

By making this model in cinema 4d I wanted to exaggerate the 3d effect of the picture since I was failing to achieve it in all my previous experiments. 
The idea came when I broke the mirror in order to create a new device. All those pieces where giving me different reflections and perspectives of how you see things so I wanted to explode a picture from portobello road and create something similar. The image is not clear at all and it is hard to make sense of what you see but this was my intention, it looks like a puzzle that needs to be fixed but the question is how are you going to fix it? are you going to use your imagination and rearrange the pieces and create something completely new or you want it how it originally was?
