These are preview images for the talk I am giving at UCLA tomorrow.
Made with Processing and runs in near realtime (anywhere from 5 to 30 fps). The sphere surface is not traditionally texture mapped and is made up of a couple hundred freely moving overlapping textures. The entire system is dynamic, and with a zippy computer, could probably be audio responsive with little extra overhead.
Loggers, Sawmiller and Shieldsmiths
A trio of scenes showcasing the process of transforming trees into shields in medieval times. These workers are from the town of Batuhan, in northern Kaliphlin. This MOC is my entry into the Ye Olde Woodes category of the 2020 Colossal Castle Contest (CCC XVIII).

Yesterday I showed you a standard handcrafted cyanotype print. I described the process of applying the sensitising chemicals to the paper and exposing it to sunlight. I then showed what happens to the print when it is toned using a simple dark tea (tannic acid).
That's what I have done here with this cyanotype print of "The Soldier" (on the left hand side). You can see clearly how it has been stained in a bath of strong black tea. The tannic acid in the tea reacts with the ferric oxide and turns the blue to grey. The stained paper then takes on a kind of sepia tone.
The cyanotype process is very rewarding, but it requires a carefully thought-out hands on crafting experience. Planning and workflow is everything. So the four-part image above shows the main stages of preparing the print you will see next, "The Soldier".
1. Start with a raw image of the statue.
2. Convert this to black and white.
3. Produce a digital negative.
4. Make the cyanotype print (which will appear blue). Then stain it in a tea bath. This was soaked in tea for 10 minutes.
Once you have your stained print fully dried, you can cut it to size as seen in the next picture.
* A NOTE ON THE PAPER:
Since this is a wet process involving washing and soaking the paper it is vital to use high quality art paper. No less than 360 gsm. It is also important that it be acid free paper (since acids react with the cyanotype chemicals). In my case I used Reeves acrylic paper. For the soldier I produced an A4 size negative and initial print, but tomorrow I will show you two prints made on A5 size paper.
