- smlacy 3y agoMaybe it was 3D the entire time. :)
- ndr 3y agoSame. What a beautiful plot twist.
- superMayo 3y agoThanks a lot! That was my goal. It's a trick I learned: if you zoom in from a distance, everything appears flat. The effect is achieved by zooming out while simultaneously moving the camera closer to the subject!
- KeplerBoy 3y agoCould you not just use a parallel projection (which should be the default for this kind of 3d scatter plot)?
- superMayo 3y agoYes, I could have been using THREE.OrthographicCamera(), however, it makes the effect way less cinematic, and most importantly, it makes the depth harder to see (particularly for a scatter plot).
- danbruc 3y agoIn cinematography that is called a dolly zoom [1] and it is best known for being used in Vertigo [2] and Jaws [3].

- oneeyedpigeon 3y agoI love how that transition is relative to the scroll position rather than working off a breakpoint. Did you consider doing the same thing with the first bar chart? I think it would be nice to slowly reveal the standings :)
- helboi4 3y agoHonestly, I was so impressed.
- pcchristie 3y agoYep same, I let out an audible "nooooo....".
