Matrix "Temet Nosce" Sign
I've been working on this sign from the first matrix movie (the only one worth anything)...
Screenshot - from the oracle's apartment...
Video - In case you forgot the scene...

Design scratched into surface
Designing from a weird angle screenshot like that is sure quite a pain, but im pretty happy with the design.
just gotta router it out now and paint/sand/stain...

thanks. I forgot to show the template I designed to trace off of...just had to find a font that was close, and then draw a few somewhat simple shapes...LiquidKarma wrote:OMG that's awesome! That looks great for working off of a screenshot!!

I was going to write it myself but that explained it better than I couldWikipedia wrote:In Latin, the aphorism is generally given as nosce te ipsum. The Latin version of the aphorism is written on a plaque above the Oracle's door in the Matrix film series, where it is rendered in a non-traditional Latin; that is to say temet nosce ("thine own self thou must know") translated in the Matrix as know thyself.
Looking forward to seeing this completed, damn good copy of it johloh. I'm still really impressed with the way you managed to get the design from such a weird angle! ^^
