Illusion Fields

That Conway's Game of Life suggestion led to a layered erosion idea.

Maybe should have entitled the following 'Revealing the Dragon', and I'm running the risk of freezing some "new" browsers here with a 6Mb GIF, but anyway...

Perhaps a nice balance between organic and architectural:

I like that. I've never loaded a 6MB animated gif before. It looks fine

A better city in the works

The decorative elements are perhaps going to be more difficult here in FF though

Wow! Ver well done and amazing results as seen in your last 4 examples, I surely looks and anyone could believe like it has been done in a 3D software and not in FF, great work and good technique you have developed. Congratulations. Also well done the lighting and shadows.

Everytime I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle...
(With 12 layers @ 2:13, there's no telling how high this might get!)

Hello xirja, would be possible to know how do you make this amazing 3D extruding with those beautiful shapes?

Of course that you are free to tell or not how you have done it, and I do not want that your reveal your secret if you do not want.

Also I have one possible suggestion, all the beautiful examples are with black and white or in shades of 2 colors, and maybe it could be done that a source image colors could be proyected over those beautiful 3D shapes as if it was a color light projected over the surface.

I still can´t believe that these beauties can be made with ONLY FF, but do not get me wrong, of course I believe you that you have done it all inside FF, is that this is too good and much different to any other thing seen on FF filters or artworks, and do not know how is possible to make this.

...hints and the truth of the matter is:

Getting a bit tired of all the 90 degree angles, so back to the curves, albeit with some rough hewn edges:



and some Lloyd Wright space thing:



The shadows need to be cast down on all layers with increasing length, but its fast and cheap as is.

The same leaf procedure fibonaccified!:



Frozen water, crystals:



Feathers, nautaloids, oh my!:



Thinking about bows or a blur to cover up the gap issue here.

Some moiré scripting goodness (5.67 sec):

CNC work, nice! I've been looking into the work of http://www.panix.com/~dgarrett/phpv1/ot.php and others. Any examples of wood carving to share you have? Yes, a filter did create those leaves, thanks.
