This is an example of a real cobea pollen, where the data was acquired with a Zeiss confocal LSM. The pollen is less than one tenth of one millimeter large (10-100micron). As you can see, it is possible to focus the DOF to different depths, which then focuses the viewer´s attention to specific structures. . The process was automatic. There was no mesh modeling required. This was rendered entirely on a GPU (Nvidea GTX 480) using CUDA technology using Cinema 4D and the Octane Render Plugin.

This is quite interesting.

So how do you create the material for this stuff? Also by measurements? Does this pollen look like that in reality (colors, reflection)?

The materials are not supplied by the LSM micoscope, and wer chosen rather arbitrarily by me to high light subtle structures.

Cool stuff.
Like it a lot...

A really interesting work. I like the result.

science meets art once again. This is very interesting and amazing technology you are working with.

Hi!
I hadn't seen this one !!!
(you also posted a blood animation, automatically modelled as well, didn't you?)

I love it !!!
I totally agree with Bulwerk: Science meets Art once again !!!

You're the kind of person who can actually SHOW other people that the world we live in is a truely awesome artwork !!!
(that was very philosophical...)

Thanks for these images!

its like a tiny little plant unto its self.
