Flexagons the new style greetings and business cards
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 8:37 am
Would anyone be interested in helping me develop a shareware plugin for photoshop on flexagons.
Flexagons are mathematical way of manipulating paper so that you can play with them to reveal hidden sides. More info http://www.aa42.com/Mathemagic/MathsAndArt/flexagon.htm
I have developed a pattern which is made of two rectangles hinged at the 4 corners which you can fold through for ever. Potential applications are business cards, greeting cards, certificates and beer mats.
In order to do this the pugin will need to take 4 images and resize them. Then split them up into a 4*4 grid and shuffle these sub rectangles around so that when they are folded the split up image comes together.
If you know anyone who would be interested that would be great.
I think you're all doing a really good job and I appreciate your kindness in helping baby ideas grow to reality.
Live long and prosper
Will
