very nice 2.5D artwork Frank!
my fav is the 3rd one (2nd row, left shot)
it reminds me of some years ago when I used to read books and books about Celtic traditions (then it became kinda "stylish" and I lost most of my interest... but not my admiration). now I'll go finding an old "Celtic patterns" book of mine :smile:
cheers,
Alessandro

Thanks mates for your kind words.
@Archie. This is the just the bare wire from where I start the extrusions - no Catmull nor Clark.
@Alessandro. I used to draw a few of these patterns&knots in vector to make a collection of stamps we manufacture&distribute.
Some of them are really tricky and awkward to realise in Béziers - but they have to be.;-)
Cheers
Frank
PS. BTW the cover is an orthographic rendering containing the heading as geometry as well. So no postwork here and there.

That is a very nice image, Frank! I like it a lot. :icon_thumbup:
However, I think the bloody one is a bit busy visually. Also, there seems to be missing a theme, like an object placed on the scene that tells a story or directs your attention. I don't know, it could be a dagger, a ring, a flower, maybe dead leaves.
Can't wait to see what else you do with it.

Sorry Andreu... feels like you 'suffer' from Cenofobia...?:wink:
The theme is there allright, I think, see it as a painting.
If it is nice to look at, it's okay!
I once saw a painting 20 sq meters, all blue.
There was less visible theme than in this creation... Still it is a famous piece of contemporary art.
It's like the so often heard:
Sometimes less is more (...more or less)

Hi Frank,
Nice and quite convincing, at least for the second row ! The last one is so far out of my understandings that I just can't comment.
For all celtic pattern's lovers and just in case, there is a nice Mac software to generate these : KNOTSBAG
Knotplot is also another free software capable of exporting in .dxf and .STL.
See also the main page with lots of links.
Thanks François. Don´t take it too seriously. Maybe I shouldn´t have past it into the gallery forum.
The links. I know all of them - partially from OS9 and below. Challenge is to draw them manually via Béziers.
Cheers
Frank

françois, thanks so much for those links, obviously lots of fun is waiting there !
in the meantime i made a seamless map from a cheetah model, just to be prepared when we get sub-polygon displacement...

Bloody hell!!!! I never would have thought. :smile: I bet that would look cool in chrome. :icon_thumbup: But that would be a nightmare wouldn't it? I pray no one ever asks me to do that. A great job as always Archie.
And Frank, your method is amazing, mate. :smile: :smile: :smile:
Heh, don't hold your breath there
Sent it to Bryce and earned a bunch of Celtic worms.
Yikes! Wished for my old grayscale crt monitor.
Just thought of how much more easy that would be in zBrush&Co.
Cheers

I didn't. I know you ...
Why not ? Technically, it's great. Maybe that's what I should have saidMaybe I shouldn´t have past it into the gallery forum.
I was sure you would ... I also started with 7.0 and a Quadra 700 ... Geeh.. !The links. I know all of them - partially from OS9 and below. Challenge is to draw them manually via Béziers.
And I agree on the challenge
Glad you do.I didn't. I know you ...
It's all got to be bright for the games people, bling, bling, bling!
Nice one Terry - I always prefer 3d geometry over 2d fakes. But since Quartz-Engine/CoreImage Filters 2d is more winning in terms of tight deadlines.
But still love the freedom of 3d - it´s more flexible at the end.
Cheers

good one (of course your real geometry looks way better)!
i think it works great with the polygon uv editor script, because the funny rotations come handy here, making it more cryptic.
