Was out shopping this afternoon when I spotted a calender in the sale's with a load of Salvador Dali paintings on. I was impressed with one image in particular and rushed home to give it a bash. Here is a pic of my inspiration. |

Found a real nice painting type pic of a womans face which I'm going to use as my subject. Did a little bit of touching up in PSP and its ready to go. Now I'm going to create a whole load of spheres in a grid and project the image of the face onto them. |

After hours twiddling with sphere sizes, camara angles, projector lights trying to get everything aligned I'm slowly getting somewhere. |

Now to make it a bit more Daliesque, I'm going to try and delete some of the spheres yet try to retain the image. That done, take a thin strip off the background of the original dali painting that inspired me and use that as a background image and voila, job done. |

Just a quick crop to tighten things up and a clean border added to bring the image out a bit. Wrong size for the MMC of course as that favours a landscape image - Doh. :D |

Wow, see I would never even think to do something like this. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us. |

A great picture with the added bonuses of interesting methods to implement it and a good story of how it was inspired. |

Thanks tahnoak. In my mind, that's the main reason I partake in the forums, because doing so exposes you to projects and techniques you would never normally see/apply if you were just beavering away on your own. If you showed me the stuff I do now a year ago, I would simply refuse to believe it was my own work. :)
Oops, another cross threaded post.
Thanks very much Finis. Yep, finding inspiration/ideas for my 3D work really helps take the strain out of shopping trips with the current Mrs Breech Block. :rolleyes: :D |

If you like the optical illusions, type "escher" on Google image and and you will see an artist (1898-1972) who will give you many ideas. I consider it a precursor of the "digital image" before the computer is. |

With that for inspiration, where are the surreal melted credit cards? |
