Those particular images would have been done with a ray tracer which is designed for this task, and even the shadow effects behind the figures. Actually after reading the text, it was done with a raytracer, not an image manipulator. However they do talk about using a convolution filter, and IM can handle such filters, but they modify the filter for each line of the image to adjust the amount of blur that is added so the further away form the image you are the more blury it gets. In summery, Yes it can be done, but may need to scripted to handle the results basied on a hight changing variablilty. EG: take image, blur it Y times with later blurs, then extract and append a single line of pixels from each image to produce a hight variable blur. Not simple outside of the core IM, and would be a new 'specialized blur' operation. I have added it to the list for a future, consolidated special blur operator... http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/bugs/future/#blur Of course when these blurs gets implemented is another matter.
