Hello again,
Last night I promised to tell something about fat-distribution maps, and so here its is. I wanted to start a new tnread but because some of you have bookmarked this one, I'm continuing here.
Ok, what do I mean with a fat-distribution map? The human body has several places where it stores its bodyfat, this is sexe-dependent. A grown-up male mainly stores his fat in his belly, an adult female stores her mainly in the hips, the buttocks and the thighs. This a very natural phenonemon, but nowadays most western people don't like it when those fat layers are getting too thick.
I've done some experiments with displacement bodymaps in which I painted in those places where bodyfat appears: this is what I call fat-distributionmaps. One of the properties of bodyfat is, that it has no structure, It tends to hang like water in a balloon, so it's an excellent candidate for my "gravity" node.
I want to demonstrate this by means of that human bodypart that's obvious the most influenced by gravity : The male beerbelly.
In the following post comes the samples.
regards,
Bopperthijs
