Droste effect in Second Life
Posted on: July 29, 2008The Droste effect is one of my favorite forms of visual trickery: an image made more striking by being repeated within itself. Often fractal-like, manifestations of the Droste Effect are sure to wonder and delight, provoking inquiries of “How did you do that?”
Curious, I searched Flickr the other day for Second Life Droste effect examples, and only came up with one person doing it so far. Congrats, Oracolo Janus, along with prolifically photographing your Second Life, I’m thrilled to see your Drosteness.
See more of Oracolo’s Droste experiments, and maybe you’d like to check out Josh Sommers’ tutorial; it’s fairly involved and I haven’t done it myself yet, but the knowledge is out there for the using.

Great article
I saw this image of Oracolo's a while back, and did my own RL ones based on the GIMP tutorials.

Josh Sommers is my idol! Just love his photography, and the way he thinks even more. His is a Flickr stream worth checking out often.
I hope to someday figure out how to use my PS (a new app on my system)… still trying to decide if I'm just going to go buy myself a book and self-train or actually take a class, but SL has awakened a desire to play with images, and play I must.

@Tenebrous: Right on! Where are they?
@Bettina: I always like it when an innovative thinker teaches others how to do something cool, and waves of inspiration spread. There are lots of high-quality Photoshop tutorials (including video ones) for free on the web.
