Proxy Battle

A few textures and a teenie bit of displacement.

You guys keep going at this and you'll put Dale Chiluly out of work. Or maybe you could sell him your designs.

Cool stuff.

solo

LOL.

It's fun to play.

Pete,

Those are very cool. The first one looks a bit like an explosion involving the liquid metal terminator (T2) and the condiment section of a hot dog stand. The second one is enchantingly beautiful. Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Re David_H's question. The model was made with standard SketchUp tools except SdS.

Fred

david_h

thanks. I am going to play around with it aswell. See If I can't some of these "Dali-esque" Intestinal images that you guys have succeeded with!

There's good English!

I LOVE it!

which renderer did you use (surely not the new (unstable) indigo with displacement)?

@Fred
it seems you don't have to start rendering after all. just post your models and you will get a lot of nice images, without twitching a muscle...

it is really fun to have a go with your sculptures. thank you very much again for sharing!

I used Vue 6 Xstream.

plot-paris

nice. I like this oily, reflective texture.
is that an image or procedural? looks like the latter to me. really nice indeed.
which engine did you use, GreyHead?

kwistenbiebel

Wooaaaah... this is great .
Fred, your form explorations seem to inspire people.

I love both the native SU output as some of the renderings.

@plot-paris: Jakob, that last proxied/instanced one ! Terrific.
It's Jackson Pollock in 3D.

@Fred: Have you tried Cheetah on the Mac for rendering? It's not the most photoreal engine, but it seems to work quite well.

GreyHead

Here's an amphibious version, undercooked I'm afraid as I had to do a restart

Bob

GreyHead

@plot-paris: It's a Kerkythea render and the 'metal' is a multi-layered 'Ashikhmin' material by Patrick Nieborg (I think) - not a procedural - the four layers have different rotations.

a bit of playing arround with freds sculpture and indigos proxy-funktion...

so this is "fred x 555"

I'm just sitting on the beach and enjoying the show.

Very cool renders all!
