Description
last friday i saw a picture of one of the 'stairs' images by escher and i wondered if i could do the technical part in 3d. well, it gave me a bit of a headache but i got a reasonable image but what ever i tried i never could get it completely right, which is no wonder as in all of his clever images there is some trickery. this trickery i could not do in 3d so, in the end, i had to go back to 2d to make it right. this clearly proves what i once said, 3d does not exist! 2d rules!
i post this one as a wip in the 3d modeling forum, as it was done in sketchup with only the distortion of the perspective in a vectors prog.
it's not finished yet, there have to be done lots of banisters and doors - i will not add people as that would mean i have go to poser and i am not a poser fan and never will be. (don't think those busty ladies would fit on the stairs either) there will just be the red pawn :-).

What a great reproduction of Escher's Stairs Koosie!!! I just opened my book and compared his 'Original' with your 'Copy' and you really have done a superb job here, M.C.Escher would be proud of you!

This is stunning. I've always loved Escher's work and this is by far my fave of his. Keep going with this one. I'd love to see the end result. Tim
