Why did I choose a temple for my first project? Well, I think it's a good combination of disciplines. Those being meditation and computer science. When you start to think of the related ideas behind what a temple is and how different religions have used them ... then combine those thought processes with how to render it in terms of "now connect all the squares on the sphere in this manner." It's kind of like Buddha meets Plato. Well, there you have some of my reasons for choosing it.
I will continue to evolve the image and hopefully combine it with some musical compositions. The result will be a multimedia experience of epic proportions! Or at least something neat I can show my friends.
