[v{I]llu}sion in the Eyes

Griddy contrast

2008-04-25T23:54:00.000-07:00

Visual impression due to contrasting colors draw a virtual line across the space separating the colors. Though the contrast is nested, it is surprising to see that we clump the circular flowers into a group and see the contrast between the groups. Again, scaped with sodipodi.

Flowery and yet hexagonal

2008-04-25T23:31:00.000-07:00

This pattern started out as a feathery spirals ended up being a flowery pattern on a hexagonal grid. Inked in the landscape of inkscape.

Wavy Greeny Fency

2008-02-07T12:19:00.000-08:00

A grid of greens cornering the gradient'ed concave squares. A fence of a pattern, suitable to be a ceiling or a floor tile pattern.

No questions, credits to sodipodi again :)

Aperiodicity of a kind

2008-02-06T11:54:00.000-08:00

Tiling is always considered an art and nature manifests in this too. Beauty of tilings could again require not finite words! One of the curious findings are the aperiodic tilings, a tiling of a different kind! They are just so misleading that looking at just a few patches of the tiling section, one could arrive at easily drawing it up through rules of translation/rotation. But behold, the tilings of this kind fail to translate across the plane and hence the name aperiodic. Here is a gradient'ed version of aperiodic tiling created with 'V' triomino through edge substitution rule.

Nest of quantum dots

2008-01-27T05:39:00.000-08:00

People talk a lot about quantum, how will it be? No one knows, as it is created with a curse that it could never 'show' its true reality and could only be true to itself! The uncertainity of Heisenberg is the creation principle of quantum. Coming back to the image, just a portray of creation of quantum dot in the nest of heavens(:)).

Any guesses why the image is gray scaled? To create color, quantums are necessary and moreover they do not exhibit the true form, isn't? (:)) The base object is a polygon of 32 sides and the rays from the edges of the polygon are grouped into pairs and circles placed between two alternate rays.

Bed spread of thought space

2008-01-27T02:35:00.000-08:00

Drawn out of love towards green/orange, here is the bed spread in the thought space. It is surprising how the 'Kite' and 'Dart' pattern could be used to make interesting tiling patterns. No limits to how symmetry arises in nature. All compressed into three basic operations: Translation, Rotation, Scaling.

Coming back to the image, it was one which took a lot of time, approx 10 hours to draw (ofcourse manually). Componentally, there are just two different shapes: Dart and Kite. Two other auxillary shapes include a star (square rotated to form a octogonal star) and a radially gradiented circle/square.

Frankly, i admit before the almighty, beauty is infinitely infinite and in all, uncountable among uncountables and what not. Finite words would never be enough and cannot be expressed completely by a finite being.

As a final touch, credits to Sodipodi, that makes life simpler to paint your thoughts!

Rangoli, a symmetrical approach

2008-01-12T14:15:00.000-08:00

Yet another attempt to make a rangoli a.k.a kolam. This time, the flip and translation has spread this carpet across.

A patch of orange across the bed of green is always catchy. Though the spectrum above is equally distributed with regard to green/orange, it still distinguishes the alternate symmetry on the junctions.

The Mythical Creature

2007-12-15T04:48:00.000-08:00

Given a pattern, can the life be synthesized in that form? No proof exists as of now for the problem that states for any or at least for an arbitrary pattern P, a relatively stabler system with topology P and a hypothetical behavioral characteristics B would exists in the universe U of fundamental hypothesis.

Anyway, neither the above argumentative complexity nor the factual stuffs would prevent us from welcoming the star femtobial animative system, Zephroid from the Xaos universe.

Gut feel is that a Lawless system could at least in theory produce any given hypothetical system. Once the hypothetical system is in place, evolution inside the system is finitely limited, hence the evolution might be cyclic or would reach stability in its varieties.

An Attempt of Rangoli

2006-07-15T06:33:00.000-07:00

The day dawned! Here goes a hexagon with colors... a try for Rangoli...

Colourful Dishes, rather fractaline!

2006-07-06T15:26:00.000-07:00

Colours are good, they just mix well and induce shapes, blending in the form of curves!

A new kind of fabric

2006-06-29T13:12:00.000-07:00

No limits to the translational operations! Lets explore the world of art with all possible simplest operations that could be done. Images could be so simple or so complex, depending on the smaller units. A small quantum fabric(just a try!) with help of sodipodi!

Simple rules, complex outcomes

2006-06-29T10:55:00.000-07:00

There exists no complexity without simplicity. Simple rules do create complex outcomes. A gradient'ed circle with a star and few simple rules like Copy, Translate, Flip and Z-Order has been used to produce the image above.

A Fuzzyfied one

2006-06-27T14:19:00.000-07:00

A fuzzified hexagonal circles, one out of those six circles with smooth gradients would miss the eye, might be due to the coarse one in the middle?? Click on the image to view a bigger version, with increased clarity.

Pentagon, glued to be a Hexagon!

2006-06-23T23:28:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, lot of details do break the illusion, some other times, lot of details do provide a high degree of illusion. This is of the first kind.

Symmetry of Hexagonal kind

2006-06-22T12:02:00.000-07:00

The image i liked the most. Simplest operations could yield seemingly complex and at the same time appealing geometric figures. Credits to Sodipodi again :)

Count the beads

2006-06-22T11:56:00.000-07:00

Lets see how fast you can count the beads in there. A small well known illusion, that resists us from counting faster. The background gradient adds to the depth perspective.

Little more than Symmetry

2006-06-04T07:26:00.000-07:00

The biggest one i've tried out. All symmetries inside. But only thing is that the base object used to create symmetry is asymmetrical. An imperfection in a perfection makes it perfect. A click would reveal the actual picture.

Thorn Forest

2006-06-04T03:58:00.000-07:00

Life is not so thorny as this :). Thanks to SodiPodi! It can do wonders.

Rather Random, yet Symmetrical.

2006-06-03T00:44:00.000-07:00

Again, with sodipodi. Really a handy too. Havent explored the colors yet. Hence everything looks almost in the gray.

A Joyful Encounter

2006-05-30T12:55:00.000-07:00

Thanks to GIMP. For other images, thanks to SodiPodi. This one is also pretty big. Cannot do this easily in vector graphics!

The Four Letters

2006-05-30T11:54:00.000-07:00

The first colour image. Checkout the four letters in that...(rather easy).

An Open Cube :: Polished

2006-05-30T10:32:00.000-07:00

A click on the image would reveal the actual texture.

Pudding Model of Atoms

2006-05-30T09:25:00.000-07:00

Just excited to see how it might be at level of atoms, though this is completely hypothetical, its an elementary way of imagining the atomic universe.

Spiralling Triangles on Grid

2006-05-29T12:25:00.000-07:00

Took some time to draw actually, but started off with a spiral, then the triangular outline with lighting. finally, took up the spiral base, and the bars are laid on the spiral base and after few trimmings and rotations, here it is.

Pentagonal Star

2006-05-29T10:58:00.000-07:00

My first computer generated image, that looks ok-ish. The image is a bit large and would be clear only when clicked.
