  • @ Horo: Thank you. Escher is really inspiring and it was difficult to get a picture of this cramped scene. Without the fisheye lens of David and you, I would not have got it.
    I had seen your work on Escher's other worlds and found it fascinating.
    After this picture, I have looked at Escher's work properly and that's how you ultimately inspired me :)

    @ Mermaid: Thank you very much. I am looking forward to your entries.

    My third entry.
    Name: Loupe.
    Used: 5 reflecting planes as closed kaleidoscope, a sphere with texture controlled transparency, an HDRI from inside and a fisheye lens (330 degrees).

    My 1st entry, I started with David's Bryce quick scene project – make an M C Escher-esque space tutorial for the initial setting, then played with the presets materials, the camera and lights.

    mermaid - I see the clown. Nice woody-looking material, well done.

  • Fascinating. The longer you look at it, the more you think you see. Very good work.

    @ mermaid010: could also be some sci-fi insectoid. Scary and fascinating

    adbc - fascinating, one is drawn into the picture to the vanishing point. Great colours, too.

    Entry #1 Curls and Whirls

    I thought I'd start simple: just a reflective box with a couple of objects modelled in Wings3D inside.

    Some lovely entries so far - I'll need to spend some time later to look through them all!

    WOW @ all here.... outstanding Pictures.

    When I'm looking at this, I'm feeling very small.... this is absolute not my theme.

    @ adbc: impressive sense of speed. Almost frightening.

    @ MelanieL: elegant curls. Nice organic/gold mix.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,262

    MenanieL - Curls and Whirls looks great, nice colour choices.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    drachenlords, Horo, Henryhor : thank you.

    MelanieL : Curls and Whirls : cool idea, very well done.

    Thank you, Henryhor, Horo, adbc and drachlenlords.

    I spent a few minutes looking through all the entries so far:

    Horo: your owl head is very eerie and I love the colours; in your Lippen I love that rippled-glass effect; Loupe has a very fluid effect to me, almost like molten glass pouring.

    drachenlords: I love the "statues" in The Dance, a bit like Henry Moore creations; in Alice that "glitter-ball" type structure is fascinating; and the Escher-style tower is just brillliant!

    mermaid010: your Crazy Clown is another one that shows more the more you look, I'm also getting an ape and an insect, crazy indeed!

    adbc: I love that "am I looking up? am I looking down? am I looking along?" effect and the colours too.

    Tim82: three more super images (my favourite is the Abstract Reef) and the colours are gorgeous.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,262

    Tim82 - nice kaleidoscope idea, abstract reef with the Mandelbrot fractals looks beautiful and the DNA render is awesome. Three great entries.
