The individual tiles are the shape of animals, people, and things. In these tessellations, the tiles aren't square. Tessellation now also means tile-sized pictures made from single tiles that repeat to fill a 2D or 3D space completely without gaps or overlaps. These give us the shape- but not the coloring- of Jurassic Park's dinosaurs, video game monsters and heroes, and other invented animals and objects. In the world of three-dimensional CGI (Computer Graphic Imagery), tessellation refers to the " wire frame" shape created from small interconnected nonidentical polygon shapes- not just squares. In man-made areas, we see it in architecture, for om brick walls and bathroom floors to decorated magnificent, beautiful buildings like the Alhambra in Spain.
In nature, we see this kind of tessellation in cracked mud, turtle shells, and other places. Tessellation can also mean simply filling a large surface, without gaps or overlaps, using non-square tiles. Now it has the original meaning, of big pictures made from small square tiles, but it also means tile-sized uniformly shaped pictures or big pictures made from tiles that aren't just square-shaped. Nowadays, the term "tessellation" has expanded to have at least four meanings. Notice, in the example at right, that the artists used many small square tiles to create one big picture of a bull. They were used to make up 'tessellata' - the mosaic pictures forming floors and tilings in Roman buildings The word 'tessera' in latin means a small stone cube.
