Every second counts when you're building something to last. 'Ascension II' expands on the process introduced in the first. A hand-painted voxel scene is broken in to layers and programmed to simulate intense depth of field, effectively turning the 2D piece into a 3D environment. The viewer is able to engage with the miniaturising 'tilt shift' effect using vertical mouse or touch input. This version adds horizontal input control (on the left edge) to reveal the original painting. Created using Procreate, After Effects, and Transient Labs' Dynamic Art Engine.
