Made a series of boxes and circles in PS. Applied Medhi kalaidoscope then Distort, Spherize. Selected sphere, copied to new layer. Added new BG and detail from photo of my grandson at the playground.

Photomaster, I've been following this thread and must say that you have some GREAT pieces here.

Janet

Think you have great ideas photomaster, loved the last one you did....

Had another play and this is what happened, I first smudged the Cosmos in Twisted brush...a free program....then i did the small flowers in the background with the art history brush in Photoshop...KPT hypertiling...edges in Paintshop Pro 9...

Kind regards Patricia Kay..

Kraellin · #37 01-22-2006, 01:01 PM

very cool, patricia. i like the first one just a bit more.

i'm glad to see we're moving a bit away from straight kaleidoscopes and totally mirrored images. that was the intent.

Then there is my personal favorite, Flaming Pear's Polymerge. This makes a composite of several works that I have previously worked on with PSP8 and various filters.

I call this first one "Kitty."

Second one is a kaleidoscope that I ran through VP impasto then used FP flexify on it. Full version at http://www.bigbluebird.com/studyinblueandwhite.jpg

Sorry for the late response. Very impressed with your results. A really am in awe with Robin's versions too.

lkroll · #40 01-22-2006, 11:43 PM

Some extremely cool info on tessellations (such as Escher's versions) can be found here. I used techniques from this site to create this tesselation. The GIMP pattern file is also attached (for those who want to play). Just use this pattern and fill the selection.

Photomaster · #41 01-23-2006, 12:06 AM

Thanks Craig and Janet. Glad you enjoy my "chips." I can never stop after just one.

Have some more! All done with Medhi plugins with additional work in PS.

Yup, you caught me; these words make me sound intelligent (in which I'm not). LOL

Kraellin · #45 01-24-2006, 08:17 AM

for those maybe wondering what are tessalations, here is a definition pulled off the site that lkroll linked to:

Quote:

What are Tessellations

The word 'tessera' in latin means a small stone cube. They were used to make up 'tessellata' - the mosaic pictures forming floors and tilings in Roman buildings

Here, the term has become more specialised and is used to refer to pictures or tiles, mostly in the form of animals and other life forms, which cover the surface of a plane in a symmetrical way without overlapping or leaving gaps. You can see examples top right as you move about this site.

interesting site, lk. and if you look around on there you can find a link to 'Tess', a piece of software you can download to make tessalations. seems to be free, but i havent installed yet, so dont know for sure.

craig

you can add mind reading to your c.v. i did wonder what tesselations were but just to lazy to google it

Palms

Kraellin · #47 01-24-2006, 02:13 PM

palms,

i knew you were going to say that

craig

Kraellin · #48 06-05-2006, 10:24 PM

well, i had to dig down in the pages here to find this thread again, but i needed it. this was one of those happy little accidents that occurs every once in a while when you're playing around.

i was messing around in filter forge with some different things, trying out this and that and hit on this. i'll let you figure out if it's an optical illusion or not.

Try use Tile Builder - Photoshop-compatible plugin for tile generation.
It will be useful for web designers, artist and computer graphics enthusiasts. It allows you create fantastic patterns by one touch.
There are 17 methods - symmetry rules.

Demo version Tile Builder
Tile Builder home page

You can save seamless tile and use it anywhere.

Craig that hurts my eyes and my brain ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! but it is cool

Dm cher interesting tiles

Palms

Lorenzo · #51 06-06-2006, 02:46 PM

I've also been playing with tesselations the last few months using Lattice XP by www.redfieldplugins.com and PSP X. I've also used some Flaming Pear filters.

Here are some examples that people have said that they enjoy: 1 2 3 4

Regards,

Lorenzo

ahutton · #52 06-06-2006, 03:10 PM

A man after my own heart. I love it. What flaming pear and redfield filters do you use most often for these?

Amy

Lorenzo · #53 06-06-2006, 03:44 PM

Thanks. I use mostly FP's Flexify 2 + Aetherize, along with Redfieldplugin's Lattice XP. Here's some Orbs I've made using the same filters as well as the polar->rectangular + flip + rectangular -> polar transform: Orb 112 Orb 103 Orb 114

Peter S · #54 06-06-2006, 05:26 PM

Used KPT Planer tiling, mirrored and added zoom blur to soften.
Hope it not too painful on the eyes!!!!

Lorenzo · #55 06-06-2006, 06:46 PM

Peter S,

I like it since it reminds me of the stargate sequence in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. What incredible things Kubrick accomplished without computers!

Lorenzo

Kraellin · #56 06-07-2006, 12:12 AM

dm_cher,

looks like an interesting program.

palms,

hurts my brain too. i had to load it into psp and turn the grid on to figure out if it was an illusion or not.

peter,

very cool
