CycleAnimation

the skill is quite help.
it seems save a lot of time on animating.
I draw six image and try to make a cycle.
to attempt the MC Escher image, this is a best way to do it.

ritual

I am always feeling touch by their ritual. it is exciting and powerful.
I use pencil to draw and try to catch the primitive spirit.

OceanTest

I did some some woodcut texture and apply it in MAYA. i repeat it so that it won't look too dead.
ocean shader has its own dynamic wave. i think it works well.

i try to reduce the specular in ocean shader, and render out separated pass_1. beauty 2.diffuse 3.incandescence 4.matte 5.reflection 6.specular 7.specularNoShadow.
it help me to contro the light in the shot and be able to to some compositing.

design_hero

I try to make complex shape.this is a hero who wear their traditional cloth.
the idea is from the right side of the picture.
I think I can emphasize the detail in the cloth later and make it more believable.

Tessellations by Recognizable Figures

All of Escher’s tessellations by recognizable figures are derived from just a handful of geometric patterns. There are several different techniques that Escher used, and sometimes he combined techniques as well, but all involve a transformation from a simple geometric pattern to a complicated, recognizable figure.

The simplest example of an Escher tessellation is based on a square. Start with a simple geometric pattern, a square grid, and then change that ever so slightly.


What do you see? Some will think it looks like interlocked men, others may see birds. Decorating each of the newly formed tiles can emphasize a particular interpretation, and creates a tessellation by recognizable figures, in the style of Escher.

I think this is very interesting. Escher's idea is exactly animation morphing process.
