“3D Hyperbolic Tiling of Old Number 2,” animated Gif by @aforgrave (click to enlarge)<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

WOW!<\/strong> Thanks again to Bill Smith<\/strong> for his leadership in finding wonderful assignments and prompts to explore here in The Village. It may be that his cottage here in The Village is in a time zone ahead of mine<\/span> — either that, or his “waking music” might play a bit earlier than mine each morning<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Today’s The Daily Create<\/strong> tdc1285<\/a> provides a link to a wonderful website that creates Hyperbolic Tilings<\/strong><\/a> from an uploaded image. Bill’s recently shared tiling of his Warhol Prisoner<\/a> appeared in my feed, and the result led me off to seek out the site. After seeing the ease with which the site creates a wonderful kaleidoscope from a static image, the challenge then became to find an image to use. Shortly after that, my eyes fell on the That Number 2 in 3D for Prisoner106<\/a> from a couple weeks back, and I knew that a Hyperbolic GIF was at hand.<\/p>\n

It Won’t Tile a GIF, So You Have to GIF a Tile<\/h4>\n

Since the tiling generator is already doing considerable computation in generating the images (does your browser almost lock up and your fan come on?), the trick is to tile a series of frames and then join them together as you normally would in making a GIF.<\/p>\n

I simply took the existing GIF, exported several frames from the GIF at decent intervals, tiled each one individually, and then created a new GIF out of them. In support of the Dr. Chiller Horror Theatre assignment, I adjusted the timings to put a brief pause of 0.5 seconds at the lean out, a pause of 1.0 seconds at the lean back, and then went with a nice smooth 0.2 seconds for each of the intervening frames.<\/p>\n

The Tiling Generator offers an option to “Generate Large Image,” which gives you the image with a transparent background.<\/p>\n

One note, the files offered for download did not arrive with an extension, and my Photoshop would not open them as a result. However, Preview<\/strong> seemed to recognize them and the Export<\/strong> function saved them out as .PNG<\/strong> files, maintaining the transparency. From there, it was smooth sailing to import them, assemble them in order within one file, and then generate the GIF.<\/p>\n

I’ve also uploaded a static image to Flickr<\/a> for inclusion on The Daily Create<\/strong> tdc1285 aggregate page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
