11x14" Morphing lenticular

Those of you that follow my work know I have been utilizing lenticulars for dramatic 3D in full color without any viewing device. Today I bring you my first morphing lenticular. Since this site does not support GIF animations I will post a still below from the sequence that reviels itself in the actual work as you walk from left to right across it. From Female genitalia to Brain to fractal completes the evolution of strange attractors.

I do like the picture, but had high expectations for the morphing. You just blended some images instead of doing the morphing with/inside the math/code of the fractal. I rather see morphing like these two:

I guess its one opinion vs another...I used morph software that actually does morph the forms into each other, where your example is a simple move, I don't see any morph at all

[youhn]

Of course it's a matter of opinion. And I did use some wrongs words, I ment of course that you did the morphing through specialized morping software. Add some images, perhaps point some control points or nets ... and it gets blended/morphed into a video/movie. I just rather have the morphing done inside the 3D/fractal. First example is correct, but the second it only lens distortion. Indeed no growing or morphing. My bad. Something to replace the second example:


(the GIF is 80MB, so please be patient while it loads into your browser cache ... it does run smooth eventually)

OK...much better example, very nice morphs or equations.....but in my case I'm morphing a painting of buttocks, 2D to a 3D rendered brain I made in Cinema 4D to the 3D fractal in Mandelbulb...there is no mathematical connection to the images, and the morphing software used was given several control points and geometry to do the morph.

Why "Strange Attractor" when you appear to be using normal escape-time fractals and not attractor orbits ?

Hi David
Of course you are right, but this is a very basic example where the intended use of the term is all that mattered for the artwork
