Step1: Deforming an object A complex object was created by deforming a 3d object.

Step2: Adding textures. Textures were produced by complex process of rendering and image processing algorithms. The following texture (left) is a sample of the textures used to create the artwork. Textures were used as image maps as well as reflection maps to produce the image on the right.

Step3: Recursively twisting the object. By recursively twisting and bending the object, a visually complex and appealing object was achieved.

Step4: Layout the object. Many deformed objects were created, then they were translated, rotated, and scaled for layout in 3D space. The layout process was completely intuitive.

FINAL: Completed Artwork. After many iterations of trial and error process, the artwork, "Conscious" is completed.
