Rendered with Vray.

Very cool, I like the pattern continuation.

Very cheerful for you mate...got laid lately?

I like it, although there is something unsettling about the pattern not being centered. However, knowing your past work, I am quite certain that it was done intentionally.

No, er, yes ... Er ... mind your own business, Stoppel!

Nope - pure serendipity, that.

I'm curious -

is this image the endpoint or is it a 'picture' of something you might build or have built?

The series of doors seemed to be an end in themselves. Nothing about them suggested you had any intentions beyond the image.
(I have to express a minority opinion here - I thought the door 'detail' image was a mistake - I thought it detracted from the rigid minimalism of the other images and it seemed to me that the color was too interesting and attractive.)
And I didn't expect to like the next things - the blurred images, but I do, in fact quite a lot.

But again, nothing about those images suggested they weren't complete as is.

This suggest something different.

I'm curious because I'm asking myself some of the same questions.

I started learning modo because I want to convert some earlier sculpture drawings into 3D models. Originally I saw the software as a good 'modeling' tool but as I'm getting (minimally) more proficient I'm finding myself less interested in it as a transitional phase. In fact I have it in mind now that I might create a gallery for myself in SketchUp and then people it with a dealer and an assistant once I reach the ability to do basic character modeling in modo.

Of course, I guess I'd then have to create some buyers also ...

It's the endpoint, though it is supposed to have the feel of a scenographic design to it. Not too sure where I want to go with this sort of thing, though.

Does indeed have a different feel than the previous ones.

You mean this one, right?

I agree. Doesn't fit in with the others. Still - might fit in with some I haven't done yet.

Ah, same thing happened to me. Initially, I wanted to use my renders as a basis for drawings and paintings, but somewhere along he line I got convinced rendering's just as good a medium as any other.

Shock and awe, baby!

What's stopping you from printing them yourself? Kids these days - lazy, lazy!

But to answer your question, I'm printing already. Whenever I got one finished, I print it to see how it looks. So far I'm fairly pleased.

Thanks, Nomer.

I was thinking poster sized Having said that, you'd probably be there for several years waiting for them to render.

On second thoughts i may well start the presses rolling.

Stinkie · 28 Sept 2009, 14:13

I print them far from poster size myself - no larger than A4, and usually even smaller than that. Generally, they're about 15 x 20 cm.

Send plotter.

A question -

Is the surface an actual material you're copying? It looks like galvanized metal panels with a print on it.
Or is that just an effect created in the rendering?

La tristesse meets Carnivale meets Burlington socks

I LIKE it.

The 'undefinedness' (is that a word?) is nice to watch. Is it architecture? an installation? a sculpture? Five sheep stacked on top of eachother? . None of those but all of those at the same time. Cool.

It's a pattern I drew in SU. I rendered it with Vray, and put SU linework on top of it PS. Then I started messing with filters and layers 'til I felt it looked OK.
