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 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

solo

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

guzman tierno

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

Thanks,

that's actually interesting,

(some of the sculptures are pretty similar,

Very cool models & renders!

I had fun playing with the 'anorexic cube' one. Attached is a Podium render postprocessed by adding noise, texture & sharpening. In the model itself I had beveled all the edges of the shapes but I doubt that shows up in this render.
