Joy Unbound

For years I have had this particular idea that I wish someone would design, manufacture, and start selling. Here is the idea I have:

With better design, a cube frame could even be constructed allowing the photographer to produce a matrix of photos for every axis (top, side, front). With this matrix of insanely high quality and high resolution photos, the photographer could use a program or script to do render or generate several things:

* 3D textured model or environment
* Parallax map
* Natural bump map (artificially possible via software like Adobe Photoshop)
* 2D texture
* Scanned image (as though having used a flatbed scanner)

• This is different in that the idea is to construct an image that eliminates as much 3D perspective as possible

* Panorama (different styles; to better understand the descriptions, imagine a sphere with rectangular prisms extruding from it and the center of the matrix of photos focused smack dab straight on top of one of these extrusions)

• Center appears 2D and flat, but as you move towards the edges the object reveals more of its 3D characteristics [i]leaning outward away from the center[/i]; like your typical panorama (convex fisheye)
• Center appears 2D and flat, but as you move towards the edges the object reveals more of its 3D characteristics [i]leaning inward toward the center[/i]; like concave fisheye
• Edges of object appear 2D and flat, but as you move toward the center the object reveals more of its 3D characteristics by showing all sides; inverse of concave fisheye
• Center appears 3D showing all sides, outside edges of object appears 3D leaning outward away from the center, in between the center and outside is a 2D doughnut ring
• Custom

(EDIT: For the life of me, I am unable to get list indentation to work properly in WordPress. Very frustrating and aggravating.)

I had forgotten to note that the tubes would also be hollow (more common sense), not solid, and that they should come in 2-3′ segments or something. My Canon t3i take 18 megapixel images (roughly 5200×2500 photos); that would be outrageously insane and high-end for application as a scanning device provided a tool like this idea. Some objects you could scan (let your imagination take it from there):

• Motherboard
• Apple
• Teapot
• Laptop
• Firearms
• Model or toy vehicles (cars, airplanes)
• Dead insects, bugs, or animals
• Rocks
• Magnetic ferrofluid (I wonder if one could somehow record a 3D animation)
• Moving liquids or objects (even better if somehow you could record it with multiple cameras simultaneously, whether taking continuous/burst photos or video)

Any questions and I will try to explain what I mean by particular elements of the concept draft.

Do you know what is most important in life? Purpose. Where do you get your purpose from? (It can either come from God or the lost world.) God has a purpose and plan for your life, just as He does mine. All He asks from you is your irreligious, genuine love. But the only way to attain such ability to love is through conviction by the Holy Spirit, because otherwise you will see religious act after religious doing. No amount of religion will save you or bring you peace and love that truly lives and stands its worth.

I love God very much, and deeply desire to love Him more, to get closer to Him, and ultimately fulfill the plan He has laid out and purpose He has designed for my life. There is no way of truly knowing whether today is the last day; all the matters is the HARVEST. For God so loved the world that He sent and gave His only begotten Son (LORD Jesus Christ) to perish so that we may have everlasting life should we come to realize what He has done and who we truly are before Him, and accepted His Gift — through our open minds, our desire to seek truth and fill the empty void within us, and conviction by the Holy Spirit.

I see that the typical Christian Americans look forward to getting married, starting a family, raising a family, and simply enjoying life in the same fashion. At least in my life, perhaps this being different for others, all that matters is the Gospel. As I have written, He has a plan for you and I, and the ultimate purpose in life is the HARVEST. Nothing is more important than reaching out to those who are lost, hopeless, heart broken, and living in the dark as you too had once lived before salvation.  And if God’s plan for my life coincidentally includes interception with my spouse, then all the greater glory to Him, His kingdom, and His reign. In Genesis, she is referred to as a HELPMEET (as am I to her). We are in this together for the greater long-run for the greater of evangelism. Our eyes level, our minds set, and our focus steady to the end till kingdom come by the power and Holy blood of LORD Jesus Christ.

The harvest is RIPE.
