Escher for Real

The work of M.C. Escher needs no introduction. We have all learned to appreciate the impossibilities that this master of illusion's artwork presents to the layman's eye. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise for some, but many of the so-called 'impossible' drawings of M. C. Escher can be realized as actual physical objects. These objects will resemble the Escher's drawing, of the same name, from a certain viewing direction. This work below presents some of these three-dimensional models that were designed and built using geometric modeling and computer graphics tools.

Greetings...

Escher is one of my all time favorite artists. His perception brought into sketches are off the charts...and to see models of his work--Its amazing what technology can do... BTW...I had trouble viewing the AVI files...anyone else?
