I really like the stone-esque one. Could you give a quick synopsis of
how you did it?
Thanks!

Wow, that's an interesting shape! Rarely do I see one that I haven't seen
before, but this one is new and beautiful too.
Now, as I read the subject line before downloading the image, I fantasised
about a ring with scratchy layers. Such as a stone where aging caused the
scratches to appear in multiple layers / shells...
Anyway, congrats! :-)
Regards,
Hugo

Thank you. Here's a short explanation:
I made some macros that traverse a grid of randomly filled
cells and identifies faces, vertices, and edges that defines
the overall shape that all the cells form together.
These faces, vertices, and edges are then passed to a couple
of macros in John VanSickle's "New Surface Subdivision Suite":
http://www.geocities.com/evilsnack/nsss.htm
- which finally produces the smoothed mesh.

A mesh of smooth triangles.
It's made with the same macros that produced the shapes in this image:

I have attached an image that shows some more shapes that I
find interesting. These shapes were all made while I tried
to debug my macros.

When I looked at this image it made me think of the
patterns some file defragmentation programs show before
starting to work on hard drives.
But maybe the use word "fragmented" gives most people
assosiations towards something that is broken.

Thank you.

At first I didn't understand why you called it "nordic",
but now I see that the blue colors probably gives you
assosiations towards cold weather, which we have a lot
of here north.
I'm glad that you like that image.

Beautiful!
I'm always amazed how beautiful and yet "simple" (not in terms of
technique, of course, but in terms of basic shapes and setup) your
images are. And your textures... - Well, I'm really a fan of your images :)

dang, that's nice. I'll guess a cells
pattern warped around into an iso-surface,
but how did you get the rounding?

Thank you.
I might do an animation of something similar later when one
of my PCs is running idle for a while.
(The NSSS macros needs about 9 minutes for the subdivision.
And if I save the resulting mesh to an include file after
parsing, then POV-Ray uses 2.5 minutes to read it in again
(2GHz PC). - So an animation would take some time.)

Thank you Florian (and Mick), I'm flattered =)
But I need to say that I'm not very patient with textures.
Often I do as I did with this texture: Pick one of the
textures that Gilles has made and then modify it.

Yeah, it's one of those models that would be cool to be able to
translate into the real world.
Though I doubt that is doing to be possible any time soon. :)

I really quite like the second one. (Looks like it should be on the
cover of a CD full of electronic music... heh.)

Thank you. This shape is made with smooth triangles in a mesh.
There is a short explanation of how I did it in my answer to Arlo
in this thread. (John's NSSS macros take care of the rounding.)
I believe that it should be possible to make the same shape with
an isosurface though.

The mesh for this shape is "closed", so it should actually be possible
to print it out in the "real world" with a 3D printing machine.
Have a look at these pages:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22rapid+prototyping%22+%223d+printing%22
I even made some POV-Ray macros once that output a mesh in the STL
file format, which is often used for such printing. Here's more about
that format:
http://www.gom.com/pub/specifications/stl/stl-en.pdf
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ug/sif/STL.shtml
It shouldn't be difficult to modify the the NSSS macros so that they
are able to write meshes in STL format too.
But the texture's are another problem...

Yeah, there are lots of techniques now, which is cool... but it's not
exactly a household machine. :( Do you know of any companies that
produce single or small quantities of 3D printed objects?
> But the texture's are another problem...
But then you get the joy of hand-painting your object.. :D

Fscinating! I'm gonna have to go look at that surface
subdivision stuff ...

Funny that you mentioned this. - Because I often catch myself
staring at such covers for techno and electronica music when
I'm inside record shops.
Many of them are fascinating and quite interesting.
