Give 3D Parallax Effect to the 2D Images Using Depth Ma...

3D Parallax effect if used correctly can add cool interactivity to your website that can grab your visitor’s attention. Therefore, some certain websites that have done excellent implementation of mouse following parallax effect. In this tutorial, we are going to replicate such effects.

Traditionally, a photograph used on which layers of elements are added and on mouse movement to create such effects. These different layers move with different speeds giving the illusion of depth. As, you can see in the example below, the scene divided into multiple layers. The layer that will move in slower speed and cover shorter distance will give the effect of being nearer to the observer.

Our client at Arpatech demanded to have such effects. But here’s the catch; it has applied on a real life photograph of a room like below.

3d-parallax-effect-to-the-2d-images

Such complex scenery would require precise cutting of objects through Photoshop and then to make multiple layers out of them. Still, it would not look natural as the scene have not much distinct elements to play with. The most object images are blending with one another. Even, if we use the layers method, we will end up making the landing page heavy as the layers would be in PNG format due to the need of transparency. With the new method JPGs can be used, significantly reducing the load time of the page.

By the end of the tutorial you will be able to achieve this result:

Pretty cool, considering that it can achieve in a matter of minutes starting from just a normal 2d image.

The secret sauce behind it is the depth map. Apple uses this technique to create stunning portrait mode photos. It replicates the blur background effect of big lens cameras like DSLRs. What depth map do to provide distant information of each pixel in the photograph? iPhone 7 calculate the distance through the dual camera setup.

Luckily, we can create our own depth map using our own perception and a single Photoshop brush. Let’s get started:

How Depth Map Works:

To create a depth map, first you need to understand how depth maps work. It adds distance information to a 2d image and it uses only the shades of black. The darker the black one becomes the further away. So, it belongs in the scene and the lighter the black is the nearer it belongs. Precisely, complete white color means that the object is the nearest.

In the above image, the left one is actual RGB image and the right one is its depth map. Therefore, we can see the petals that are in lighter tone and the objects are distancing the tone of them are getting darker. In 3D terms, the tone of the color is representing the z-axis information of pixels.

Creating Depth Map Using Photoshop:

Open your photograph in Photoshop

2) Create a new layer, fill it black and turn down the layer opacity to around 50% so you can see the original image below.

3) Turn down the Hardness of brush to 0% and start painting over on the black fill layer. Paint the objects with light tone that are nearer and paint the objects with dark tone that are further.

4) Turn up the opacity of the painted layer to 100% so you can see the final result.

pasted-image-0-6

It doesn’t look great. But, it gets the job done. Hence, we deliberately don’t have to do with the edges. It has shifted outwards to give the best result. Now, you save the file as jpg and make sure you save the same dimensions as the original image.

Setting Up The HTML Page:

To interpret the depth map, we are using pixi.js library’s Displacement Filtre.

“<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pixi.js/4.5.0/pixi.min.js'></script>”

Here is the complete code. Feel free to play with the values to adjust the effect according to your liking.

<!DOCTYPE html>

        var w = window.innerWidth;
        var h = window.innerWidth / ratio;

    <script>
     w=window.innerWidth, h = window.innerHeight;
var renderer = new PIXI.WebGLRenderer(w, h);
var cOutput = document.getElementById('wrap');
cOutput.appendChild(renderer.view);

var stage = new PIXI.Container();
var container = new PIXI.Container();
var foreground = new PIXI.Container();
stage.addChild(container);
stage.addChild(foreground); 

var f;
var fg;
var mousex = w/2, mousey = h/2;
var ploader = new PIXI.loaders.Loader();

function init(){
  console.log('dasdsdasd');
  ploader.add('fg', 'Original.jpg'); //insert Orignal 2d Image Here
  ploader.add('depth', 'DepthMap.jpg'); //insert Depth Map Here

  ploader.once('complete', startMagic);
  // Begin loading -
  ploader.load();
}

function startMagic() {
  fg = new PIXI.Sprite(ploader.resources.fg.texture);

  foreground.addChild(fg);
  
  d = new PIXI.Sprite(ploader.resources.depth.texture);
    f = new PIXI.filters.DisplacementFilter(d, 0);
    fg.filters = [f];  
    window.onmousemove = function(e) {
      mousex = e.clientX;
      mousey = e.clientY;
    };
  animate();
}


function animate() {
console.log('aaaaaaaaaa');
  f.scale.x = (window.innerWidth/2 - mousex) / 79;
  f.scale.y = (window.innerHeight/2 - mousey) / 79;
  fg.addChild(d);
  d.renderable=false;
   
  renderer.render(stage);       
  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}

// Start -
init();

    </script>

</body>
</html>

Now, change the original.jpg with the filename of your original 2d image file. Change depthmap.jpg with your newly created depth map.

Demo:

See the Pen Mouse Follow Parallax Effect Using Depth Map by @fatik on CodePen.

Using this method you can give subtle 3d parallax effect to 2d images in no time without running into much complexities. Thanks to Pixi library, the animations are very smooth.

DevOps Trends to Watch in 2017

Since, we have witnessed that 2016 passed greatly. A large number of technologies and trends get introduced in the past years. Like, Docker v1.12 released and AWS got some powerful instances types. Moreover, the hybrid cloud (both private and public) became the first choice for enterprises and many more trends.

Here, I am going to share your some latest DevOps trends of 2017 in this blog post.

But, let me give you an introduction to DevOps. DevOps actually serves the collaboration of Development and Operation team to work together. Like, it becomes one unit rather than working the old traditional way. Although, the Agile methodology did great where the development and operation team worked individually. So, it serves to develop any software or fulfill the services.

Ideally, the old traditional method consume time. It lacked the understanding between the team of software development, leading it to customer dissatisfaction. Almost, we are now adopting DevOps as culture for more fast, efficient and reliable software delivery.

DevOps Features

Here, are some DevOps features:

Maximizes the speed of delivery
Advances customer experience
Make use of automated tools on each phase
Got more stable operating environments
Has improved the collaboration and communication.
Enables fast flow for production

DevOps consists of 5 C’s which gives high productivity, less bugs, enhanced and communication. Probably, it provides quick way to resolve issues, more reliable and much more. The 5 C’s of DevOps are:

Integration Continuous
Testing Continuous
Delivery Continuous
Deployment Continuous
Monitoring Continuous

Key Trends of DevOps

Microservices

Since, the name sounds as microservices becomes an architectural way to develop the complex applications. So, it has the ability to create smaller modules through division. Precisely, Microservices can help the developers to decide how to use, design, which language to choose and platform to run and deploy.

Some advantages of microservices:

They can develop in various programming languages.
Errors in any module or microservice can easily detect saving time.
Microservice and modules easy to manage.
Updating anything becomes easy now. Just push it on the particular microservice. or else you have to update the whole application.
Scaling up and down of any particular microservice without effecting any other microservice is now easy.
Microservice leads to the increment in productivity.
If any of the module is down, the application remains unaffected.

Containers

Although, containers create virtual environment, allows to run multiple application or OS without interruption. Another, container which one can deploy the application quickly and consistently. Because, the containers have their own CPU, memory, network resources and block I/O. Therefore, it shares with the kernel of host operating system. Thus, lightweight can run directly within host machine. So, you will find some advantages of Containers presented below:

Easy to share a container
Manage the life cycle of containers with the Docker’s platform
It gives consistent computation environment
They can run multiple separate application in a single shared OS

Container Orchestration

Due to, the automation, arrangement, coordination and management of containers is container orchestration. Finally, various features of container orchestration include:

Cluster Management

Also, the task of a developer limits to launch a cluster of container instances. Surely, it allots the tasks which requires to run. Yet, the management of all the containers perform the tasks through orchestration.

Task Definition

It allows the developer to define the task where they require to specify the number of containers. Therefore, they fulfill the task and the dependencies. Moreover, one task can launch through single task definition.

Programmatic Control

Although, simple API calls now you can register and de-register tasks, launch and stop Docker containers.

Load Balancing

Seems like, load balancing actually helps in distributing traffic across the containers or deployment.

Monitoring

In addition, you can now monitor your CPU and memory usage of the running tasks. Hence, it also gets notified if scaling requires through containers. Consequently, some tools used for container orchestration (both paid and open source) are Kubernetes, Docker Swan, Google Containers and Microsoft Containers. Precisely, it becomes clear now and evident that 2017 is going to face a lot more changes, new and innovative ways for DevOps.

How to Create an Azure Mobile App using PHP

Bringing you here, the most demanding tutorial as how to create PHP web app in Azure. Azure web apps gives highly scalable and self-patching web hosting service. In this tutorial you will learn how to deploy a PHP app to Azure web apps. We’ll be creating the web app using Azure CLI and will use GIT to deploy the sample PHP code to the web app.

The below steps can be used in Mac, Linux, and Windows. Once the essential requirements such as PHP and GIT are installed, it will take about five minutes to complete all the steps.

Get Free Help From Professional PHP Development Company.

You can create a free Azure account if don’t have the Azure subscription before beginning.

Launch Azure Cloud Shell.

The Azure cloud shell is a free bash shell which can be run directly within the Azure account. It has Azure CLI already installed in it and configured so that can be use with your account. Click on the Cloud Shell button on the upper right of the Azure portal in the menu.

The button will launch an interactive shell which can be use to run all the steps told in this topic.

Run az –version to find the version of the CLI you are using.

Download the Sample

In the terminal window, run these following commands to copy the sample app repository to the local machine.

git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/php-docs-hello-world

Now change to the directory that contains the sample code.

cd php-docs-hello-world

Run the App Locally.

First run the application locally by opening terminal window and use the PHP command to launch the pre-built PHP web server.

php -S localhost:8080

Open up any web browser and type the following local host address http://localhost:8080.

You will see a HELLO WORLD message displayed on the screen from the sample app.

Exit the web server by pressing Ctrl+c

Log in to Azure

Use the Azure CLI 2.0 to create the resources required to host the app in Azure. Log in to the Azure subscription by the AZ login command and follow the directions displayed on the screen.

az login

Configure a deployment user

With the AZ web app deployment user command, create the deployment credentials.

A deployment user is necessary for FTP and Local GIT deployment. The use name and password will be different from the Azure subscriptions credentials.

az webapp deployment user set –user-name <username> –password <password>

Replace the username and password with new one. The name must be unique and the password must be eight characters long.

It is a one time process and the deployment user created can be used for all Azure deployments.

Create a Resource Group

With the AZ group create command, create a resource group.

A resource group is actually a container which posses Azure resources such as web apps, databases and stored accounts to manage and deploy.

az group create –name myResourceGroup –location westeurope

Create the resource by following the above example.

Generally the resources created in a region near you. Run the az appservice list-location command to see the supported locations for the Azure web app.

Create an Azure App Service Plan

With the az appservice plan create command, create an azure app service.

The app service plan specifies the location, features and size of the web server.

App Service plans define:

Region (for example: North Europe, East US, or Southeast Asia)
Instance size (small, medium, or large)
Scale count (1 to 20 instances)
SKU (Free, Shared, Basic, Standard, or Premium)

The below example creates an app service plan in free pricing.

az appservice plan create –name myAppServicePlan –resource-group myResourceGroup –sku FREE

After the app service plan be created, the AZURE CLI will show some information like this

{

 "adminSiteName": null,

 "appServicePlanName": "myAppServicePlan",

 "geoRegion": "West Europe",

 "hostingEnvironmentProfile": null,

 "id": "/subscriptions/0000-0000/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/myAppServicePlan",

 "kind": "app",

 "location": "West Europe",

 "maximumNumberOfWorkers": 1,

 "name": "myAppServicePlan",

 < JSON data removed for brevity. >

 "targetWorkerSizeId": 0,

 "type": "Microsoft.Web/serverfarms",

 "workerTierName": null

}

Create a Web App

With the AZ webapp create command, create a web app in the app service plan.

The web app will provide a hosting space for the code and a URL to view the deployed app.

az webapp create –name <app_name> –resource-group myResourceGroup –plan myAppServicePlan

In the above command, replace the app name with some unique name.

Once the web app is created, the Azure CLI will show below information.

{

 "availabilityState": "Normal",

 "clientAffinityEnabled": true,

 "clientCertEnabled": false,

 "cloningInfo": null,

 "containerSize": 0,

 "dailyMemoryTimeQuota": 0,

 "defaultHostName": "<app_name>.azurewebsites.net",

 "enabled": true,

 "enabledHostNames": [

   "<app_name>.azurewebsites.net",

   "<app_name>.scm.azurewebsites.net"

 ],

 "gatewaySiteName": null,

 "hostNameSslStates": [

   {

     "hostType": "Standard",

     "name": "<app_name>.azurewebsites.net",

     "sslState": "Disabled",

     "thumbprint": null,

     "toUpdate": null,

     "virtualIp": null

   }

   < JSON data removed for brevity. >

}

Type the following address on any browser to check your newly created web app.

http://<app_name>.azurewebsites.net

A web app in Azure has been created.

Configure local GIT Deployment

With the az webapp deployment source configuration-git command, configure local Git deployment to the web app.

For quickstart, deploy by using local Git. To deploy content to web app, app service supports offers several ways such as FTP, Local Git, GitHub and Bitbucket

az webapp deployment source config-local-git –name <app_name> –resource-group myResourceGroup –query url –output tsv

Replace app name with the web app’s name in the above command.

The output format will be :

https://<username>@<app_name>.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/<app_name>.git

The username is the deployment username which you have created previously. Save the above URL to use in the next steps.

Push to Azure from Git

git remote add azure <URI from previous step>

Add remote Azure to the local GIT repository,

Push to the Azure remote to deploy the app. Ensures the password you entered is the deployment user password not the password you used to log in to the Azure portal.

git push azure master

The above command will display following information.

Counting objects: 2, done.
