[droste effect]

Droste effect? Now he´s a bit of a weirdo… you might say. Nuts to you! When I fetched an old paperback with prints of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, I was once again charmed by his pictures that I started to read up on how these art is created (more info´s on 'how to' in my blog (http://www.prinzipiell.com)).

So here´s my first result of building a kind of Droste effect with flash...

Launch. (http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2008/11/13/droste-effect/)

I´m bound to say that my current approach of this effect isn´t nearly as sophisticated as the MathMap standard, but to manipulate pixels partly performant in realtime with flash still is a challenge separately. ;)

Did I mention that you can download the sources (just dropped the download link within my blog-post (http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2008/11/13/droste-effect/))

Beautiful, wonderful, exquisite.

Needless to say i love it.

thx,

due to the fact I released the sources hopefully this effect will evolve, I´m curious to see how some of you will take the Droste effect to.

if only flash cs3 would have vectors... so this effect could run a little smoother & much faster in it´s current version. ;)

Just a little update of the origin Droste Effect...

I´ve rewritten the Droste Effect in Pixel Bender and now it is pretty fast. Also added some new values like endless-zooming, rotation, delayed mouse-following and xy-shifting (onMouseDown).

Launch enhanced version (http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2008/12/10/enhanced-escher/)

Of course you can download the sources (I´ve listet the link within my blogpost).
