I can see easily how to make the piles and to make an array but how did you get the stacks into the curve? I can see the change in perspective and have used the liquify tool but how did you get the nice neat curve overall?

Great work I should mention of course. I'm really impressed.

i was asked the same question in an email and here is what i wrote:

really simple actually, and i just happened
on it by accident. I obviously shrunk the letter,
then dupicated it 4 times and shifted each duplicate
down to make a stack. I then duplicated the stack to
twice and tried to put them next to each other, with
the original in the middle. However, because of the
perspective there were some spaces between the stacks
towards the top. So i free transformed the left and
right stack so that there were no spaces. The result
was a curved row of 3 stacks of paper. I thought it
was kinda cool so i duplicated it and shrunk it down a
bit. This time, because of the curve, alot of the new
row was covered by the original row, so i free
transfomed again by rotating it so that the front edge
of the second row was even with the back edge of the
first row. I just kept repeating this and voila. I
love when i'm just messing around and cool things come
out! Hope that this wasn't too confusing. Feel free
to ask more questions!

Thanks I'll have to give it a try.

And trust me I always ask when I see somthing that really catches my eye.

So each row of tacks is another duplicate? Or did you merge the layers each time you had them lined up right? It just looks really nice. More like you planned it than just happened upon it.

*We have a streakier in the pitch...*

NS: Just download the ZIP from shama's serve and see yourself how it could be done.

Now take a seat or you'll be....er...just take a seat please!!

*Run back to match...*

sharma: way cool paper stack

Bump!!

*Shouts down the hall "sharma are you there?"*

hey darkshadow, i'm real sorry, but i've just gotten unexpectedly busy lately. I'll try to come up with something soon, but i'm not sure when i'm going to get the time. I'll have to put this on hold for the time being. Again, i'm really sorry. Especially since i really liked the way this image was developing!

sharma: Okey, I can wait, just wondering where you was .
