thank you for faving, i'm quite new here, but I have plenty of works to share
cheers!

Thank you for faving. Frankly it has been a very long time I added someone to my watch, I am interested to your tiling and tesselation art, that appeal as much to the mind as to the eyes.Β I guess you are deeply into programming the algorithm for them by yourself, but do you happen to know any good Penrose tiling or other aperiodic tiling ready made program ?

No, but I've seen some nice Penrose stuff, e.g.Β parrotdolphin.deviantart.com/gβ¦
parrotdolphin.deviantart.com/aβ¦ references "Penrose Tiler, Ultra Fractal 4 ...Β
Penrose Tiler is a free program you can get here--->Β [link] Β "
I haven't seen much of other types of aperiodic tiling.

The link is broken ! Too bad, the penrose program I know are rather dull for artistic purposes.
I found (and lost halas) a facisnating article about Penrose tilings in arabic architecture -centuries before Penrose.
Incredibly artsy as well as puzzling.

Hi Mark

~Aspartam picked those out ... I might have picked the same ones.

He did pick well, good old Aspartam, but thank you for agreeing to have them shown in the group

Your work with tilings is very intersting.
And I have a soft spot for optical illusion stuff, too.
Did you ever made something decorative with Penrose tlings ? They have a great artistic potential imho, but this not develloped. I never found programs going beyond the basic coloring, and with no access to the code.
You may want to share your work with group form-constant ; I took upon myself to propose your work to the group, hope you dont mind.

Hey Adam,
Good picks, I might have chosen the same ones.
Yes, I'm a square geek now, and maybe forever. I've tried a hexagon here and a triangle there, but I'm still surprised by the range possible with square arrays.
Pentagonal symmetry with forced aperiodicity is a bit hard to swallow, and the number of possibilities is huge. There's no reason not to use cut and paste replacement, but to program a user interface for Penrose stuff is a bit daunting -- not in principle but in practice.
*parrotdolphin's texture mapping of a Penrose tiling on a pentagonal surface is worth a look: TopMod Star

I'll look for parrotdolphin then.
I found only a lont time ago one program able to make Penrose tilings but with no variant on the tiles, and no source available.
Thank you for sharing your interest. I am looking forward for a big book about patterns and tilings, but it is out of print and I am waiting for the reprint from a long time.

Thanks so much for showing Hexaflake gaskets! Awesome It looks like you have lots of other nice ones too!

Thanks for the add! You got some interesting stuff too.
