3D tiles à la Vasarely

shura

Hi all,

In this case I wasn't sure if I should post in the plugins forum, because it is also a request or at least the hope to start some discussion about what is possible.
On the other hand it is a giveaway for everyone to play with - so here we are:

Thanks to Rico Law's thread here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28931 I kept playing with patterns and found this very inspiring.

Please try for yourself with the attatched model and tell me what you think.

I made some kind of do-it-yourself 3d Op-Art painting. It is just an array of mirrored components to design your own artwork, Maybe you can use this for your interior scenes or whatever you like.
Follow the instructions in the model.

Looking at other applications like protractor I think it is very challenging to perform things like this within SketchUp. I would find it very interesting to hear any ideas from the Ruby-masters on this.
Guess it is a bit tricky as I know how components work. I am a real fan of what Kito Raupp has invented here http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c5b47789be78bbd6bf3b2807e2ebf1bf&prevstart=0 .
I believe there will be more interesting approaches turning up in the future. Anyone chiming in?

Hi Alex,

This is neat! As Vasarely was born in my city, we have an excellent collection of his works here. I have never thought of modelling works of his (or getting "inspired").

Thanks guys, its always very inspiring with you!

Sorry that I left alone my own thread, but there was a good reason drawing all my attention away:

Our son was born on Monday, hooray! (cant wait for him to grow up and show him around here at scf )

Back to topic: I should have explained better what I was looking for. Actually I would not even have asked If I knew about Chris Fullmers Component Stringer. Simon Bonnet has perfectly put together what I was after:

Hope to find some time to another ride on the Vasarely inspiration...
