CGMatter shows how to create an infinite image zoom in Blender using basic shading and animation.

Creating a system that is a continuous zoom effect can be a little tricky. Even if you forego using 3D and work with 2D images, there is still a lot of work involved. You can use a smart trick, however, to create an infinite image zoom fast, with Blender using basic shading and animation techniques. CGMatter‘s latest tutorial walks us through how.

Admittedly, the demonstration used in the tutorial is not perfect. But if you want a fast way to create an infinite image zoom, you can get it looking a little more polished with a bit more work. Blender is great for this kind of one-stop-shop workflow where mattes, 2D elements, and 3D elements can all live together.
