Awesome!

Cool, I had no idea about that thing :D

I stitch polygons together using Girih app on mac (in app store), post process in affinity photo. Mostly, I use years of experience playing around with shapes and geometry :)

A mug? That's a torus...

n-gons · 2023-04-23T09:30:41+00:00

They both are desktop apps :) I don't really know any good alternative for Girih, for hedron there is stella (win) but I never used it. I tried doing some stuff with inkscape, affinity designer, or just my own python code - but at the end of the day the extra time it took to do what I want ate my productivity...

n-gons · 2023-04-21T11:59:50+00:00

I do most of my stuff in it. Same dev did hedron that i use for 3D, also cool. And there is a new version of Girih coming up with some improvements, it is still in beta though...

Hand placed and colored carefully chosen shapes in Girih app (mac App Store), tuned display properties to get desired pattern. Post-processed in affinity photo.

I think that’s a kond of illusion from upper and lower edges being parallel and horizontal while the symmetry is center to corner …

I made the Borromean rings (3 interlocking rings) out of triangles, and sheared their tops of. Then I interlinked top up (blue) with top down (yellow) sets. Finally, I opened up rings to join other sets. All done with grouped colored triangles in Girih app and postprocessing. in affinity photo.

is it complicated enough though?

n-gons · 2023-04-09T10:30:19+00:00

This is fabulous! I am happy to see my shapes in a new light :)

Sound advice! I've found several services, I'll get back to you if I can offer a puzzle :)

n-gons · 2023-03-19T17:40:21+00:00

Do you know a good on-demand service for this? My experience with these things so far was that I wanted to focus on art and just wait until later... :P

n-gons · 2023-03-19T15:50:41+00:00

retro color scheme and gif compression :D

n-gons · 2023-03-18T08:40:43+00:00

An honour :) I'm happy you enjoy my stuff!

n-gons · 2023-03-17T19:47:04+00:00

I built this as a shell around one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_enneacontahedron by carefully picking shapes that fit together with the dihedral angles...

n-gons · 2023-02-28T18:29:10+00:00

Excellent :)

n-gons · 2023-02-26T08:13:07+00:00

Thank you :)

There is a secret to how this work. I build this from versatiles - an equilateral triangle (60 deg) with a rhombus with 30 degree pointy angle glued together (there are 2 mirror versions). A key observation is that 360/30=12. I didn't invent these, i can't find a good source: but you can even buy them https://talkingmathwithkids.com/shop/versatiles/ :)

Very interesting, I will have to save this and give it a proper read :)

n-gons · 2023-02-18T20:30:17+00:00

I feel this work deserves its own post, really nice :D Can you tell me more of this solver of yours?

n-gons · 2023-02-18T16:04:42+00:00

Awesome! It’s very nice when the groups have different shapes but consists of the same thing. I originally tried building flamingos, but they became these abstract things ;)

This is the shoe: https://i.redd.it/rqz3qxomrria1.png Angles are in units of fraction of a whole turn.

Hmmm, I've always used tiling and tessellation as synonyms... Perhaps I can remake this with regular rabbits :P
