Philippe was working on bank notes – but it turned out to be a too big task for the available time. The designers of these notes have one thing on top of their minds – make it difficult to copy.
With the money being on the back burner, Philippe made us a bowl of soup – absolutely low on calories and from scratch.
You’ll see how to get a textured plane into the shape of the soup, create reflections and steam and to control the light.

I’ve had no opportunity to watch the show yet. But this bowl looks very nice! I’m eager to know how you wangled this artwork!!
I never cease to wonder at the way Gimp is manipulated to produce these images. I wonder if one could make a Mõbius strip?
I guess we can, there is no way to generate the 3d strip automatically, but….. this is interesting, we could make some show on optical illusion ;-P
I suppose that rules out a Klein vessel as well but optical illusions sounds exciting.
There are programs which can generate images of these when you enter a formula.

These are not directly usable, I think. But perhaps a start.
