Going a bit metaphysical here…
Buddhism: A door to the soul 
Was messing around with Python and got this interesting mosaic effect as a surprise. It’s approx. 2,000 cubes moving around in 3D space, but observed in orthogonal mode it becomes a picture. The mosaic effect is due to the varying distances of the cubes, only noticed this after an actual render hahaha…
If I place all the cubes in the same plane, the picture becomes flat without mosaic effect, but I do believe the mosaic effect actually makes it way more interesting. The tricky part was adding all the UV-maps in Python, but once you get that in place, it becomes a lot of good fun.
Anyway, everything is relative, as is the meaning and interpretation of words, like “door” - one hopes hahaha…
haha this is awesome AB! Nicely done! which one do you want in the voting? I personally like the first image
haha awesome interpretation of the theme Marcat! Like the animation too 
What an odd dimension. Behind every doors, there’s a story, a universe, which one will you choose ?
I thought about doing more doors, but I thought that I should stop there or I’ll hate doors x)
haha this awesome Ark! Love the concept. So many to choose from 
and yeah dont want to start hating doors lol
For the Door chalenge, would a sort of portal be allowed?
I would say yes, portal is a door. So go for it ?
and…it all in the interpretation, like ‘Doora The Explora ;-D’
Just a question, the figure on the wall isn’t a shadow, it the light. How did you do that with the trails on the ground? Looks like the shadow and the light switched. Also looks cool.
In simple terms.
I used the shape of the HULK to bollean a hole in the wall.
Set the sun angle and rotation to cast the light on the opposite wall.
To get the streaks I added a CUBE with Principal Volume and adjusted until I got the desired result.
Do you understand what that all means?
Yes I get it. Really clever
My first challenge submission - traveling through a portal.
YouTube video link since it’s an animation:
That is awesome Steve! Nicely done
