SU models of George Hart's geometric sculptures

[guzman tierno]

I'm having fun creating the SU models of George Hart's Geometric Sculptures:
here's one of his works, Bathysphere
here's the complete list

Here's my model of the "Bathysphere".
It's really fun building these models with components.
It may be interesting to render it but I never used renders yet.

I also added the skp model.

that's beautiful, thank you very much for sharing!

a render would be amazing seeing as it is modelled so well.

Cool stuff.

I hope you do not mind me running a fast render.

Wow !!!

what did you use ?

thanks a lot.

[guzman tierno]

I hope you dont mind if I post more of them.
So here are two more.
Images and models.

I'll improve pencils in the next version, to make them more realistic.

Guzman, I like these.

You might enjoy the 3d app Groboto if you don't already know about it.

Thanks,

I installed and played a bit with Groboto.
It's interesting but the results are too random for my taste, I'm more interested in structures than artistic sculpture.

Modifications, variations, new creations, renderings, ... are welcome.

Here's a model that somehow shows how to build the "Cagework_1":

Cagework, rendered in Artlantis, which is not really meant for this kind of thing, but...

Hypershot makes a nice job of rendering these.
This is just a preview - so a few artifacts

This is getting really exciting and fun,
really nice Solo !!

I really like the light, seems the one in some of the renderings of your villages

did you improve my pencils ? they look much nicer than the ones I drew

yes, it's cropped, but in these cases I use "view image" from firefox menu
to see the whole image, so no big problem

thanks, I used Vue and just changed the textures and softened the edges.

[guzman tierno]

you mean "soften/smooth edges" or some ruby ?
