The “Butterfly Effect” is part of chaos theory in physics. The theory is that a small change in one state can result in large differences in a later state. The prototypical example is that a butterfly flapping its wings can result in a tornado.

I ran into a “Butterfly Effect” between building the model after Dive #4 and adding the photos from Dive #5 and spent the better part of two days figuring it out and fixing it. The model is now almost complete. The only "blank" areas are the spots on the starboard hull that have moving seaweed.

The post provides screenshots of the model, a link to the "live" 3D model on Sketch along with a detailed analysis of what happened and how I eventually fixed it.


Here is a screenshot of the model in it's current state:

Beautiful work, and a real contribution to diving that site.

We used to talk about a "Husquvarna Filter" for photography, which would entail using a chainsaw to cut down inconvenient trees, power poles, and other things in our shot. Maybe there is an equivalent for seaweed! :p

I run into that sometimes with video editing. You make a small change and suddenly the software decided to start behaving in unpredictable ways for not apparent reason.

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, I've got a few ideas on how to finish the model. :)
