That image is cool Alf - I wasn't aware of the Escher print then I made
mine, but I can see the similarity.

I'll second that. Apart from the right perspective, etc., it simply got
this typical look Escher's drawings got, i.e. it looks like you actually
drew (is that the correct past of "to draw"?) it by hand.
Nice job!

Thank you Florian.

All based on a very old rounded_box macro of mine, using white for
some of the rounded edges and a granite pattern for the rest.

Looks OK to me.

Thanks

Considering that MCE used pen and paper, his accuracy was remarkable
but I found it difficult to duplicate exactly. I assumed he was unable
to avoid errors.

I don't understand all his work but I like the symetry here, and the
illusions and visual puns in others.

Most of his works are woodcuts, and I assume that's even harder than pen and
paper ;-) (although he probably used preliminary pen-and-paper drawings).

My personal faviourite was the one where the division suffered "an
earthquake", rendered like twisted iron. (Complete with weird texture
and red glows.)
But anyway, this one is pretty dam funky too!

Sorry, I notice I forgot to post my response to your image. I like it!
Did you use a "repeat" warp in the isosurface? I really like the
focal blur effect on this.

This render is amazing!!!
Would you mind explain how you got this crazy isosurface?! I can't figure
it out right now :)
