Invention of Dynamic Painting: The concept of Dynamic Painting was discovered almost by accident. The economic collapse of the former USSR in the 1990s had a devastating effect on all aspects of Russian life. Art supplies such as brushes, paints and canvas became hard to come by. One day, San Base managed to stock up on paints, but he could not find canvases, not even pieces of throwaway cardboards to paint on. It occurred to SAN BASE that since he drew from his own pleasure, he could just paint over his old pieces of work.
As they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions. When SAN BASE started painting over his old works, he noticed something peculiar about the way he was doing it. While painting over the old images, SAN BASE always subconsciously tried to select colours in such a way, that the latest work in progress would always harmonise with the old image being painted over. This phenomenon seemed intriguing to him, so he purposefully began transforming the same picture over and over again, achieving interesting results in the process. The paintings attained another dimension – the dimension of time. But the process itself was too laborious; the paints and canvas were far from being an ideal platform for implementing the newly discovered concept. It occurred to SAN BASE that a computer or TV screen would be a much better device in bringing pictures to life than a real canvas. This is where his computer engineering background came in handy. SAN BASE put the brushes aside and started developing a programme that could help him automate the image generation and transformation. Suddenly the new medium was born.
3D MASTERPIECES VOL.1 SAN BASE: FUNCTION OF REALITY presents SAN BASE’s stereoscopic “Real 3D” experience of a special kind: Enchanted 3D parallel worlds, psychedelic coral reefs and crystal caves, breath-taking landscapes. SAN BASE developed like no other fantastic, himself constantly evolving 3D worlds with stunning pop out “Real 3D” effects in an unprecedented spatial depth. With its “Real 3D” awesome effects, takes you on a SAN BASE journey in its parallel universe of the Third Kind, which is totally optimised for “Real 3D” Blu-ray home entertainment. The combination of art and music is carefully crafted to create not only one of the best examples of “Real 3D,” but an event that draws you into a stimulating journey for the senses that isn't like anything you have ever seen before.

At times you feel the objects will touch you, that is how realistic the “Real 3D” effect you will experience and I feel SAN BASE has done an extraordinary and stunning professional job, so much so, you will think it is a totally real place you are visiting, that is how good the “Real 3D” images you view are.

3D Blu-ray Audio Quality – 3D MASTERPIECES VOL.1 SAN BASE: FUNCTION OF REALITY is presented in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and is totally impressive, because it is has an awesome energetic soundscape that SAN BASE has carefully enhanced with his sound design that comes out of all your speakers, that will give you an all-out assault on the available channels and is definitely very impressive, especially going with the spectacular “Real 3D” landscape before you, so making it a glorious awesome listening experience. But what is really nice is that you have two totally different audio options for your pleasure and they are as follows:
Audio Set-up Reference Guide: You have two audio options to choose from and they are as follows: Dubstep-Functional-Mix by Proventek, Roman Surzha and Theta Relms and Deep-Meditational-Mix by San Base. I have tried both, but the best outstanding audio option by far to choose is the one by SAN BASE, as it so much more ambient exotic relaxing music extravaganza and goes so very well with the “Real 3D” images you view and will completely relax you at the same time.
Blu-ray Special Features and Extras: Sadly there are only trailers for other 3D Blu-ray discs and they are as follows:
