Posted in: fashion, Gallery, Geometric Textiles, Irina Shaposhnikova, Royal Academy of FIne Arts
Irina Shaposhnikova is young talent that is hard to come by. For her master show at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, she took a dive into geometrics to create origami like textiles. Check out her moody futuristic collection, which stars a model turned tai chi artist getting trapped in a kaleidoscope, after the jump.

I seem to remember being able to do this in Shake, but I can’t find the correct script/expression for it in Nuke.
What I would like to do is be able to write an expression into a node that reads directly the number associated with that node.
For example, I would like to be able to create a sphere (Sphere1) with a universal scale of 1, and then copy and paste it, creating another sphere (Sphere2), which automatically updates itself to have a univeral scale of 2.
I feel like there should be a simple expression that can do this without me having to resort to scripting it in Python, but maybe not.
Any ideas?
Many thanks…
