Yantra Golden Spiral

Photo mosaic image generated from a yantra movie brush using a golden mean spiral sampling pattern to lay down the overlapping mosaic tiles.

Stairway to Nowhere

Another ruins porn experiment. Generated via stack filtering in Studio Artist 4. Trying to make this stuff work in animated sequences is proving to be a challenge. As still imagery it's quite effective however.

The Control Room to the Apocalypse

More ruins porn imagery processed via stack filtering in Studio Artist 4. For those of you unfamiliar with the terminology, stack filtering involves processing a set of images encoded in a movie file using temporal image processing effects.

Sometimes i run through my sets of Studio Artist generated images and come across something that makes me say, 'how did i actually make that'. This is one of those. it seems to have something to do with a driftwood movie brush i used in a recent daily effects blog tutorial post. Maybe there's some stack filtering going on in there, i don't really know. Anyway, i thought it looked interesting, so here it is.

Egyptian Riot Yantra 2

Continuing the issues discussed in yesterday's post. Another photo mosaic image created using a yantra movie brush to render a egyptian riot photo as a photo mosaic image.

Egyptian Riot Yantra

Photo Mosaic image generated by processing some new imagery of recent Egyptian rioting with a yantra movie brush in the Studio Artist 4 paint synthesizer. I like the disparity of the large scale vs small scale imagery. Does the use of yantra imagery turn a photo of a riot into a spiritual contemplative image? Or would some people find this particular movie brush approach highly offensive (no offense intended, it's all about working with visual patterning in my world view)?

Yantra Stack Filtering Experiments

I've been trying some stack filtering experiments based on processing movie brushes generated from Yantra imagery. Here's one experiment with some additional MSG processing for the vector framing effect. Dennis Miller took some amazing photos in India of temple mandala imagery which got me interested in this particular project in the first place.
