The Cracks in My Floor

**Burpee** · 14 July 2009, 11:04 PM

HayTay got me thinking about those cracks in my floor again by resurrecting this thread: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...t=36506&page=2

I realized I'd made a mistake with my original crack creation and decided to post the 3 cracks in a challenge. Make your own version of 'crack art' from these 3 photos. Maybe you see something different than I do.

Doesn't have to be anything fancy and any program can be used. Not sure how 3D aps would use this other than as a backdrop or poster but give it a try. Use the photo in a photo manipulation software....whatever works.

Had to post this one because it's a truer representation of my floor color. Why does the camera give such a wrong color without the flash?

Because the camera 'white balance' needs to be set correctly when shooting under tungsten or fluro lights.
Human eyes/brain compensates, cameras need to be told

Very unexpected results but excellent! You used the tile as a background for your map.

That tile is the poodle holding a book/baby/praying tile...well, the one I see as a poodle...right down to the curly Q on the forehead.

Love seeing what everyone else sees or how they use it.

I can see the poodle holding a glove puppet

It looks like one drawn by Steve J [Handrawn]

I started outlining the bull/bear figure to make it easier for folks to do a quick idea but got carried away and did a quickie myself.

Started out as a bear and ended up a bull, lol.

Uploaded the xar file if anyone wants to use it for the challenge.
