I love these nasty doodle guys - but you better change the street side

Here's a gif of how I twisted the curved shape using Vertex Tools.

really impressive! but did the quads break-up after twisting / deformation?

Vertex Tools is a quad-friendly extension so it keeps the quads after the twist or any other further operation. It's a great tool!

Just for fun. About 10 minutes including the render.
Tig's Fracture, SUbD and MSPhysics, Twilght2.

WOW !! ... and even if it would have taken a 100 minutes, such a great result!!
(you are using a great tool chain - is Tig´s Fracture creating "SubDable" parts out of the box ( ) instantly or is there still some fine tuning necessary?)

[Box]

Thanks HornOxx.
No tweaking necessary, not for this at least.
It doesn't form quads but they aren't needed for something this random.

Here's a quick simple one.
You can use more blocks with different materials to get a mixture of stones.

[HornOxx]

... a great example and thank you for this short making of demo which suggests so many possible uses!
(and it's a shame that I have never tried MSPhysics so far )

Such a simple tutorial as well.

@HornOxx:
Don't try MSPhysics as it can be addictive.... Using gravity is the beginning of the end... Devil's work! You will neglect your job and your family, ultimately become lonely, impoverished and physically stunted. And yet you can't stop and you will always want to achieve more... And you will get it...
@Box:
Thank you for the playful application and convincing demonstration of some powerful plugins for creating a seemingly simple heap of stones! The hard part, which is now easy to do...

Here's a chess piece I've made using SUbD and Vertex Tools.
Greetings!

A Music inspired Work

This work is not what it looks like at first sight but a scene taken from the musical film from Pink Floyd`s "The Wall".

The Pink Floyd album “The Wall” (1979) is one of my all-time favorite albums ever. I’m not necessarily a Pink Floyd fan though, but this album hit me directly and I still like to hear it over and over again. Especially I love the “Live in Berlin” version from 1990 where also many guest stars from this time were performing this album.

Certainly it is unnecessary to explain that the scene shown below is inspired by the “Hammers March” scene from the “The Wall” musical movie from 1982 - some of the “older ones” among us will surely remember and the album I recommend to all younger people here who might not know it ...

a personal note: Too bad that the theme “Wall” has returned so strongly in these times again in an often unreasonable manner…

My wife and her family were some of the last "citizens" allowed to leave with no papers and no money as undesirables, so I know full well your reference. So strange that we moved back decades later and lived in Dresden for so long.

Thank you Box!! my wife suggested me not to post this work as it could be misunderstood.
But now I'm sure it's right to post this picture, even and also especially because of it´s negative real context-association.

Nice work, HornOxx! Looks great.

a nice model btw this cool film animation - is it made with native SketchUp only?

There's several scenes and a couple of styles involved. I'll try to share the file next week (I'm off until monday)

Hi HornOxx, your hammers would be a good example for an animation of the march with animator (Fredo6). The threatening effect comes across quite well in your renderings. At that time I recorded the concert of Pink Floyd in Berlin from the TV to a videotape.
Those were the days...
