Twinheaded Buddha 2025 + Twinheaded Buddha 1995 + Double Headed Buddha 13-14 century

https://www.opendharma.com/double-headed-buddha/

I saw a publication of the DoubleHeaded Buddha in an archeology magazine in 1995, the picture was very tiny. It was so cute. I find amazing from 13, 14century. The original is in Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersbourg.

So I did a series of Twinheaded Buddha paintings, which was published in Hsiung Shih magazine, Taiwan, in full color insert. Its a high quality art magazine.

Maybe we all have Buddhas in our own images, and everybody is a Buddha in some ways.

Here I present to you, the next Twinheaded Buddhas, in 2025

"We Buddhas" 2025

Place: China, Tangut State of Xi-Xia, Khara-Khoto
Date: 13th-14th century
Archaeological site: Suburgan, Khara-Khoto
Material: clay, with mineral paints and gilding
Dimensions: h. 62 cm
Acquisition date: Entered the Hermitage in 1933; transferred from the State Russian Museum

The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia

This story was told to a Chinese pilgrim during one of his long wanderings in the north:once upon a time, there were two men, both devoted to the teachings of Buddha. Each of them dreamed an image of the Buddha, but they were too poor to pay for two sculptures, so they asked an artist to make them only one. Buddha himself, in an act of kindness, divided the image in two. Kindness, or compassion, is an important teaching of Buddhism.

This clay statue was found in the stupa uncovered by Kozlov in 1909.

SculptyPaint

https://myclone.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sculptypaint093.jpg

SculptyPaint v.093, a free Sept 2009 Java program and tutorials…

SculptyPaint is a low polygon 3D creation tool original written for creating sculpts; 3D low polygon models for SecondLife. But currently it can also export to .obj files

It has cool “randomize” buttons, which enable the easy creation of some wild shapes. The .obj I exported from it loaded up easily in 3DXchange. And “new in v.091” is…

Morph Tool: Morph one 3D model towards another, lock and modify certain 3D points

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sculpted_Prims:_FAQ

Q. When I edit a sculpted prim, the sculpt map is perfectly visible in the editor window. Someone can easily steal it with a screen capture.

Just like regular prims, when you have modify permission to a sculpted prim, you may view/edit all of the shape parameters of that prim. So if you do not wish for others to see the sculpt map, you'll want to set the permissions of the prim to no modify.

BUT - there is a cute trick which can be used to prevent others from seeing your sculpt map even when they have full permissions to the prim: use the alpha channel of the sculpt map to obscure it from view. However if you have full premissions and you load the texture into an editor and resave it, it will lose the alpha channel and the protection.

Meiji University

The National Palace Museum of Taiwan is currently exhibiting 35 works of visual illusion by Professor Kokichi Sugihara, Director of the Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences (MIMS)

It is a long exhibition that will run for a period of 17 months from Thursday, September 20, 2018 to Sunday, February 23, 2020.

Professor Sugihara won first prize (highest award) at the Best Illusion of the Year Contest 2018 for his work on illusory research.

This special exhibition features a collection of jade made from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty (475 BCE-220 CE), works of illusory art, as well as works of visual illusion by Professor Sugihara, the product of his scientific research. It offers some aspects of the visual effects of these two types of works that set each other apart in time for two millennia from a perspective of illusion.
