Tilings of the Poincaré Disk are of interest to both mathematicians and artists. M.C. Escher, inspired by the work of the mathematician H.S.M. Coxeter, created four wood carvings based on tilings of the Poincaré disk titled Circle Limit I-IV.
The mathematics of such tilings has been extensively studied. While several papers have described how to create graphical tilings of the Poincaré disk using computers, there are a number of reasons why those techniques present difficulties for tiling photographs. In particular, the techniques are primarily intended for vector graphics or low resolution images, and are extremely inefficient for rendering large, high-resolution images. Recently, van Gagern and Richter-Gebert published the first description of an algorithm to efficiently render large tilings using a technique they described as reverse pixel lookup. However, they also only considered graphic tilings and their approach can generate significant visual artifacts due to rounding errors and aliasing problems.
I've created a program that efficiently renders photographic tilings and deals with these rounding and aliasing problems. Check out the large version to see improved visual details.
I've made my code available if anybody would like to try to create some of these images. A package that includes all of the source code, a win32 executable, a technical document describing how these images are generated, and an example to get you started can be found here on SourceForge.
I also created a Flickr group for these images here. If you try out the program, please post your results in this group.
A pale ivory coloured limestone flooring with occasional shells and light veins, Aspe Bone exudes quality. It’s finely honed surface makes it ideal for all areas of a domestic or commercial development.
I would love to have a tiled floor like this.
As in, once I've got an occasion to lay tile, you can bet that I'll spend hours and hours with the tile cutter making the perfect tile pattern, driving my poor wife and any other household residents go nuts.
Progress on my bathroom tiling project is the best Christmas present...years in the visualizing and two trips to Tubac's Cermic Tile shop buying sets of things, we finally laid it all out about two weeks ago on the floor, and have placed them on their respectivve squares on the wall, using digital images, too, to remember...Emerson has been a great sport about this meticulously slow approach.
By using a random arrangement of 2x2 tiles I was able to make the floor interesting. This was actually the thing that inspired the rest of the design.
This texture is free to use in your personal or commercial work, but you may not reshare, distribute, or claim/imply it to be your own
If you use this texture, i would love to see what youve done.
Thanks
Tiled my own backsplash, in four days (two to lay tiles, two to grout and clean), after getting granite counter. Incorporated 3 different kinds of tiles (thanks Lowes!), managing to work in the 6 electrical outlets WITHOUT using tile saw, which was only needed for diagonal cut on bottom 12-inch tile. The granite is like looking at living river, so plain bands above and below it set if off pretty well. Lower moulding disguises fact counter was raised couple inches. The "law of threes" is pleasing [to look at]: 3 layers, 3 sizes/shapes tile, bottom layer 3-sided + bottom layer sets off a 2-to-1 size ratio of what's above.
The Sydney Opera House is an iconic performing arts centre located in the city of Sydney, Australia. It was designed and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, issues with the state government led to his resignation from the project in 1966; six years before completion in 1973. The architect did reconcile with the Sydney Opera House Trust in 1999, when he was appointed as a design consultant for future work.
On June 28th, 2007, the Sydney Opera House was listed as a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to another icon of the city: the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The building is surrounded on three sides by water, flanked by Sydney Cove and Farm Cove.
This tile is part of my arch/shrine series. It alludes to trees, nature, the evolving circle of our life and those things that we find important or pray to. It is porcelain, pattern is carved through black underglaze in a technique called Sgraffito. These tiles look marvelous in groupings of 2 or more.
