If I had a huge house I would love this on my floor.

Now that's a cool idea! I can imagine, though, getting paranoid about 'falling through the holes' or tripping over the raised parts

Ha, not a real Sierpinksi, if this was printed on marble.
Though if the room was under a rift in time and space.

I go along with Anna Kirstens comment here... reminds me a little of translucent filaments used in fly-tying interwined with fine cloth or parchment.

Top marks for the choice of gradient for this piece and the wonderfully subtle texturing

It began as a basic 4-transform tile, then switching variations on transform #1 opened the structure and sent out the curving reflections/shadows.

Thanks for the explanation .... I hadn't even figured it might be Apo though I do know you work with Apo..... Nicely woven once again!

Another beautiful piece from you. Always so delicate, yet highly detailed.

Thanks! It's often the light backgrounds that bring out delicacy of structure

Fabulous Ian. This looks like it had been drawn/painted on parchment
I will feature this in my journal next week.

Thanks Gill! I think this one had more test-renders than any I remember. The reception persuades me that it wasn't time wasted

Yes, I suppose the stripes do look quite metallic - thank you indeed

Beautiful modern take on this Sierpinski. The delicate gradient enhances the fine detail perfectly.

IDeviant In reply to Isis44 [2008-04-21 06:29:49 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't quite sure about the stripes but I tried smoothing them a little and it lost some crispness, so they got to stay
