Paul Max Payton from Burlingame, California (USA) writes:
"I've written well over twenty thousand lines of C
which produce tile
elements (squares and equilateral triangles), affinely warp
them into
other shapes, and tessellate them in any of the seventeen
different
two-dimensional crystallographic groups (a la Escher). My
code runs on
a Macintosh (Symantec C++) and ports to any computer easily.
It keeps my G3 and my Sun workstation humming along."
"The little guys I'm enclosing I call FRACTILES (because
they tile and
they are self-similar like fractals). I create huge tessellations
of these called IMBREX (Latin for 'tile'). In fact, this
Christmas, I
created a massive one square yard print, 11520x11520 pixels
CMYK true
color which I printed out and had nicely framed. It was
a present for my mother."
Pual's images are large in size with the smallest one being
2048x2048 pixels.
Paul is currently working on a Persian cyber-carpet which
will be 70x30 inches. One single image is a gigabyte in
size (it fills a Jaz disk). It drives the
folks down at Kinkos crazy.

Detail

- Program: Paul's own program that he has
written for creating these Imbrex images
Finished Size: pixel image, no size
- Date Created: 1999
- Paul writes: I use
image processing and Boolean algebra to make the
FRACTILES, then assemble them using some really
complex but elegant trigonometry to make my IMBREX.
I map colors into different color spaces (e.g.,
RGB, CMYK, CIE, YUV, YIQ) and fuse them in layers
to create the finished works. It's all highly mathematical.

Paul writes: My education
is in computer science and mathematics. My undergraduate
degree is CompSci and I've done graduate work in image
processing. I was the youngest person to be given
a staff position in Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology
Center. My work is in image understanding, photogrammetry,
and specialized applications of computational geometry
in cartography and geographic information systems.
I've published over fifty articles, including several
book chapters. My hobbies are algorithmic art and
poetry/calligrammes.
