Description
Rene Magritte is a longtime influence and is often mentioned in comments about my artwork (which I take as a good thing). This one just seemed to blossom into a direct tribute.
There are eleven real P4 Dorks and 337 2D images of Dork. I first had 348 hat meshes, but talk about slowing a computer down... Made them out of primitives and it did much better. World Top mode used with an image of Magritte's 1954 painting, "The Schoolmaster"

By the way, this optical effect is similar to how your television and printer works. Each tiny dot(or hat) on the screen has a color and when combined with thousands, all the dots form a picture. There, you learned something today.
