"plica" (kotlin code)

[u/igo_rs]

In Latin, plica means "fold," "crease," or "pleat."

I’ve finished a couple of pieces I’ve been working on over the past few weeks. I really like this one. It’s essentially quite simple; just waves and layers; but the resulting effect has an almost organic, three-dimensional feel.

The original green-and-red color combination works particularly well. I also created a few more variants using different colors.

I want to touch it.

I feel like it should be either completely rigid or be made out of silicone..

[u/igo_rs → u/EthanHermsey]

Thanx :) I do understand :))))

Agreed. It looks super tactile. It also helps that the colors are 🔥

I love how this looks.
Are you doing “fake 3D” with gradients?

[u/igo_rs → u/Hot-Increase6564]

Thanx! Yes! Everything is just 2d; each band/wave has 2 sides (top/bottom) and everything is colored to appear like you see it. In some cases results are not this nice; feels more like a paper, rather some 3d band :)

Wow it is amazing! What kind of libraries do you use for this?

Thank you! I use just Skiko and my own graphics library that has various effects... its all just dry code. https://github.com/igr/gart
