Flopping Triangles Revisited - RAINBOW CAUSTICS PARTY! + 4K Wallpapers

Higher resolution versions at Ello, Imgur, Dribbble, and G+ Photos.

The 4K wallpapers are available at the G+ gallery.

While working on my previous design "Flopping Triangles Revisited - RAINBOW!", I accidentally turned off the lights that were providing all of the white light for the boring whiteness of everything. Turns out that what was left was a pretty wicked awesome Caustics Party! So I pulled the camera back, turned up the sources of the rainbow light a megaton more, then set the sample count up an order of magnitude or three... AND BAM! CAUSTICS PARTY AT FULL VOLUME! This is WAY more interesting than the whole previous design! And took WAY longer to render!

You can also see the rest of the designs in the now large “Flopping Triangles” series here. Let me know if you enjoy the wallpapers!

Flopping Triangles Revisited - RAINBOW!

Higher resolution versions at Ello, Imgur, Dribbble, and G+ Photos.

Getting right up to the end of the month, I was starting to panic a little bit because I still hadn't created anything to participate in the @gifartistscollective theme of "Rainbow" for the month of July. "Rainbow? THAT'S MY FAVORITE COLOR! I can do that easy!" Then, all month, my both my design any my inspiration accounts are bankrupt. Shit, what will I do? I can't NOT participate when the theme is RAINBOW!

So I sat down in front of my favorite grid based sketchbook, and forced myself to fill a whole page with ideas. Turns out, a lot of my previous designs keep coming back to me, and they won't let go of my focus - even in a new context. Fine, I can work with that. One idea, two, three, four, fifteen - and that's when I remembered a simple little design from a few years ago named "Flopping Triangles". This idea happened to have been the last one that came to me while I was filling the page with ideas - and I'm glad that it did. Turns out, the motion of triangles flopping around in a circle is still interesting to me, and there was a lot I could work with there. There may even be a bit more use for this idea in the future.

It seems that I'm also getting into the habit of posting galleries of my creative process when I create new works. Here's a link to the "Creative Process" gallery where you can see all of the iterations I worked through to get to this point. Let me know what you think!

Shout out to @tequibo who’s design gave me the idea for the original Flopping Triangles design series. Hope you’re doing well, man! :D

Flopping Triangles Revisited

This design was actually supposed to have been posted before the Light and Dark Variants, but it was going to take a lot longer to render than I wanted to wait for last night. So I hit render and went to sleep. Now it's done, so I'ma post it.

Check out the Light Variant and the Dark Variant, that I posted before this, and if you're feeling like it, the original "Space Masking 0" and "Flopping Triangles 6" designs that were the ideas that I combined to create those.

What do you guys think? Do you like it when I revisit older ideas and mix them together to create new designs? Do any of you have favorite designs that you think I should cross?
