Anamorphosis 3D , How to ? Any Photography or Drawing - Painting aid ?

I am very much impressed by anamorphosis. How to do that at photography ? Or is there any tool , aid , device to help me in drawing , painting stage ?

Julian Beever creates these with a digital camera, but you could use the viewfinder of a non-digital camera as well.



You will probably need an assistant also. In fact I think Vik Muniz uses children to help arrange his stuff:


These older ones were probably drawn out on the groundglass of a view camera and marked out ahead of time with an assistant:

I am thinking lots of things about that subject.

If we have 1:5 anamorphic lens which works vertical and if we squeeze the vertical distortion to
normal, do we see an anamorphisis ?

If the perspective lines are important and if we have to look through the anamorphisis object close to the ground , - low look angle - and if we use unparallel anamorphic cylinder lens system ,
can other optics stack correct all the distortions and give out a anamorphisis picture ?

If the nonparallel cylinder anamorphic lens system works for single axis and if we want to get a anamophisis effect for 360 degrees rotation of single axis cylinder lens , it proofs to need to use spherical lens and it proofs someone can play with distortions at entrance of a lens sytstem and than correct at the other end and get an leica relief.

ps. may be rotation of nonparallel cylinderical lenses does not geomeritizate of spherical but conical lens. Any one have information on conical and non centeralized highest point conical lenses effect ?

If you are looking for fun things to do with your anamorphic lens, you can make some anamorphic sculptures and photograph them.

You know, of course that you can get a simple 360 degree lens for your iPhone and de-convolute the anamorphic image to produce a flat 360 degree view. That, however, has nothing to do with analog photography.
