Painting with SketchUp ... well kinda anyway

Try this texture.
looking great by the way, however i am getting 70's flashbacks.

Pete,
Nice texture. I'm getting high just by looking at these things. Changing the angle of the face with the projected texture just a few degrees has a big impact on how the texture appears on the TIN. I tried a few before settling on this one.
-
This image is straight SketchUp. Used the scale tool to resize the projected image to be about the height of the elevations in the TIN. I hope this will help avoid the jaggy edges that mar the previous image in this thread when I merge this TIN with a second TIN.
Here is an image of the SketchUp model.
-
This are images of models in which I first created tube likes sculptural shapes by driving different faces along curved paths. Then I "painted" the resulting surfaces with projected textures. I think this approach actually has some possibilities for producing compelling abstract art.

Fred,
Interesting experiments
I like them! -
I agree, these are very interesting. I've never thought of using sketchup like this.

You need to open a realworld gallery. You are producing some great stuff amd Solos texture blended in well. I can actually come to this forum just for the pure fun of it. You have an audience or maybe following would be a better word.

Tianne, Roger and -mirror,
Thanks for your kind words. With a little encouragement now and then I'll keep plugging away and see what develops.

Agreed.
If you can't open your own gallery, go find one. I used to be neck deep in the art scene of a very large metropolis and I think you can sell a lot of those.
Art tip: Many collectors (not all, just many) don't think it's real art unless it's large format. How large? Think "feet." They want something the size of area rugs for their money. And at several hundred plus, I can't blame them.
Large format printers are very nice these days. You can have it done and factor in the cost to the gallery. Heck, the gallery should be able to help you.

Awesome work there fbartels, you wouldn't expect you could use Sketchup to create works of art, it just shows you the countless applications SU has. Have you ever printed or published any of your work related to these?
