      hi
      first of all i have to say that the whole "explorin the medium" set is amazing, and in a special way these "concentrik" are impressive...
      i'd like to know more about how the images data influence the shape of those concentric shapes (cause this is image-based, right?)

      about the manual reorder in photoshop, have u tried the contact-sheet automation in photoshop? i often use it and find it very useful...

      keep up the great work you're doin'

      peace

      Defetto - The one major draw back to the contact sheet and the reason I don't use it all that much is that it takes my PNGs, which have transparency, and flattens them to white before tiling them together for me. I do admit it defenitely comes in handy for this type of thing when the composition is complete.

      I've been flattening all pieces at the end, to reduce the file size (400meg flat vs. 1.5gig layered psd), so I don't have layers from these last few but here is what just one layer typically looks like;

      One of the major reasons why I don't try and control the layering within Flash is that any time I add a blur to the bitmaps as it generates you start to se where the seems are. So I usually build out about 4 or 5 layers and later combine them in photoshop with further manipulation.

      RE:Image Based - Yes.
      Here is the image for Summerfield;

      In concentrik the shapes are not influenced by the color they use. It's just a 1 to 1 relationship. Color determined by the position of origin of the circles being draw inralationship to the image it is pulling the colr data from.

      Hopefully that answers your question... and many thx for the compliments :)

      thank you very much for your explanation, but so far i still don't get which is the rule defining the shape and the size of the circles, if it's not about the image... i'm lookin forward to your answer, cheers

      Amazing, impressive.

      I'm not a hundredtth the AS programmer you are, but I was experimenting with randomization, duplication, etc. for a few years using forms created in illustrator brought into flash, processed, then exported and manipulated further in Photoshop... so this kind of work really intrigues me. I pretty much gave up on it because I wasn't satisfied with the export options... then when Bitmapdata came out my curiosity was piqued but I never really went very far with it because of the 2880px limit, making generated work pretty much useless for print sizes...

      You've shown me a whole new world of possibilities exists!
      Thanks for the pleasure of seeing such great work, and for the inspiration.

      It's really make a immensely impression, nice

      This is great. Do you talk about specifics on your process at speaking events? I'd love to see how you manipulate BitmapData in order to get the results you do. Might be worth a drive to Chicago, even at 5 bucks a gallon;)

      Probably it takes a lot of work.

      Beautiful work. I would absolutely kill for a wallpaper sized version of this or really any of the pieces from your 'Concentrik' set.

      I'm running 1920x1080 resolution, if you'd be so kind :)
