    Polygonal Lines

    Polygonal Lines

    Sometimes I get tired of the usual raster graphics. So I wanted something with the quality of lines but in the context of lighting models. I used a tool which can scale the polygons making them look like lines. Playing with fragmentation and random position and rotation, I was able to create layers of lines in space. It has more of a delicate feel and a nice change of pace for me. Probably should have made it a signature style and become rich and famous. But I get bored too easily and need to move on to something else. Money could motivate me to reconsider this direction.

    The Ravages of Time

    The Ravages of Time

    I usually don’t like the straight edges of polygons. They feel too mechanical. I use a simple edge enhancement program called Crack to modify edges. It introduces extra polygons distorting the straight edge. The extra polygons are scaled and they can be made to grow or shrink. This image could represent what’s happening to my face over time. It’s a mess. Each year I have a more difficult time recognizing myself in the mirror.

    A fragmentation tool enables me to shatter or displace the polygons comprising an object. I can specify and shatter a section of the object. There are parameters to set distances and the size of clusters of polygons. Rotation is a random feature. Often I accidentally find something interesting. Here I wanted great detail without confusion. Probably 30,000 fragments from numerous copies of the same fragmented object.The color of a fragment is determined by its location in space. I divided the world space into regions of color. Like many of my images I wish we could see it at 12 x 9 feet. I get the sense of layers of debris floating in endless outer space. It’s fun to see something like this moving through space as animation. I can’t wait for my new PC to arrive.

    I find scale can make a big difference in my appreciation of some images. This is especially true in cases where three dimensional perspective plays a role. Looking at a monitor at about 80 dpi is not enough. Two years ago I had the above image printed at 8 x 6 feet and it was a surprise to me at the impact. The lines look like they are literally floating in space towards the viewer. You become immersed into the space. The file for the large print was about 1-2 gigabytes because the resolution was 28,800 x 21,600 pixels. That was 300 dpi.
