Ascending,descending,headacheby ~Niels-I

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Abstract

A model of Escher's "Ascending and Descending".

My god what an annoying assignment. Although i love Escher's work. making something impossible in 3D was quite a challenge.

4 hours of research and calculations.
8 hours on the model
20 hours of full blown headaches

1x 3Ds Max
10x Aspirin

Now all i have to do is animate it.

Different PoV to explain wackness: [link]

I'm gettin' headache when I only watch at it.
It must be a horroble work to get something incredible into reality.
It's great!

That's well done and nicely modeled

Only thing is that the shadows of the building give the secret behind the illusion away (and I expect that the discontinuity of the building will also give you problems with the shadows of the monks in the animation). That's not an easy thing to fix though...

P.S. I am into creating impossible 3D scenes as well, just see my gallery, so I know all about the headaches involved.
