 Alea Jacta Est |
The dice is thrown. Or rather the dices, because there are two in this picture.
The "water", or the tilted sinus-landscape, was the first use of the object
type function in the ray-tracer I created for Genasis. Unfortunately, the careful modeling of the dices does not show very well. But with zooming, you will see more clearly the eyes of the dices, and the rounded corners. |

 Crater |
This mathematical ideal crater yields a great sense of depth. I personaly take a liking to the marble like pattern. | |
 Funnel |
This is a very early pattern-SIS. Before this picture, my program was only able to generate black-and-white dot pictures, so called Random Dot Stereograms. The first version of this particular picture was rendered in a black-and-white pattern, and is part of my SIS-book. | |
 Head |
A bald, female head. Simple and clean. | |
 Lion |
My artistic contribution to this picture consists of the pattern from which this stately lion protrodues. I created the pattern by copying and pasting from a picture of a wind blown tree. The tree was broken at the root, and what we see is the tough fibres from the actual break. The color was treated to be more yellow and saturated. | |
 Lomograph |
The concept lomograph stems from the Russian made camera Lomo,
generally accepted as an inferior (but
charming) camera. The distinctive feature of a Lomo is that what you see through
the occular is the only thing you can be certain not to be part of the
photo taken. Thus, picture are best shot at random, preferably from your hip.
The often surprising result tend to capture an artistic touch by accident. The picture on the left is an example of a typical such a failure I produced with Genasis. I could not resist the temptation to include the result in this collection. Getting the camera angle right in my ad-hoc-like program is not easy. Maybe I should have named it Lomosis? |

 Maze |
This maze was, believe it or not, randomly generated. It must be a divine message. What could be more suiting than letting it appear from a starry sky? | |
 Nature |
This lovely summer field is meant to symbolize the beauty of nature. In the upper right corner is a cube, the representation of the simple and pure mathematical laws of nature, and the microscopic scale of nature with its crystals and geometrical patterns. In the lower left corner is a rose, a symbol for the beauty of the macroscopic world, the complex and unfatomable result of the clean and simple laws underlying all that evolves in the universe. | |
 Originator |
What can I say? A bit of an ego-trip is permitted here! | |
 Propeller |
If you can speak of "classics" for a thing like my SISes, this is definetly one! This propeller image has been reproduced in more than ten Swedish newspapers and magazines. Besides this popular use, many persons on the Net has expressed a liking for this particular picture. I am not sure why, but as a side note, I would like to meantion that it was only the third SIS picture I had ever created (but as a RDS). It was generated on a sleepy 386sx 16MHz, and I can only claim beginner's luck with respect to the modeling. | |
 Rose |
An exceptional rose, standing out from among the rest that conform into
just a background. The extra coloring does, in my opinion, lift the motif a bit more from the background and gives the picture a deeper 3D feeling. |
|
 Shades |
This picture is 3D! The shading technique used makes it one of the most "realistic" of my pictures. You could almost touch the marble waves! | |
 Vortex |
Feel the cosmic time and space vortex suck you towards eternity... | |
 Siren of the Woods |
Once more, my contribution to the picture's quality is in the pattern.
I wanted earthly, but rich colors. Green for the life giving vegetation, red for
the flowers and the blood, brown and gray for the mountain and the ground, the
fundamentals of our existens. From this, a siren appearing at the brim of the woods. |
