          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.

                        Thanks,

                        that's actually interesting,

                        (some of the sculptures are pretty similar,
                        for instance: [url=http://www.georgehart.com/sculpture/mermaids-delight.html:3a22axhl]Hart[/url:3a22axhl], [url=http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/quintrino/:3a22axhl]Bathsheba[/url:3a22axhl])

                            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.

                            Regards, Ross

                              It does, it shows up in the render,
                              I should have smoothened the edges, thanks,

                              I really like also the holes in the components, it becomes more dynamic,

                              nice work,

                              regards, guzman.

                                It actually looks really impressive, I'm downloading it and I'll be soon
                                experimenting.

                                I have to say however that I enjoy drawing structures in SU, I think its fun and it gives you the possibility to understand what you do. I'll be back on this after using TopMod.

                                Thanks for the interesting links,

                                  Maybe this can help you πŸ˜‰
                                  See the gallery for intricated form πŸ˜‰
                                  This one for example πŸ˜‰

                                  Just export in OBJ then OBJ to a format that be used by SU (3ds...)(Anim8or for example)
                                  Of course you can use it for any deviant Art or architectures!

                                    Both are crazy and very well complementary! πŸ˜‰
                                    TopMod permit to create topologic surfaces that will be very difficult to make with another progs!
                                    A little training is also necessary πŸ˜‰
                                    Use it only for modeling not for rendering or texturing! (here imported in Zbrush)

                                      Topological surfaces was actually my field of interest ...

                                      Edit:
                                      I've been using TopMod (or trying to use it) for one hour or so. My impressions:

                                      • Too buggy, crashes really too much
                                      • Difficult to use (It took me a lot of time to understand the user interface and how the commands work)
                                      • Too difficult to obtain what you want (you end up making what the program wants, that's how I felt)
                                      • I dont understand how they choose the commands, they seem to me too random
                                        It has of course some new ideas, but needs to be improved a lot imo.

                                        Mad math GT,

                                        Rocking bring that.

                                        What a bunch or rock star models... Not sure that my bubble noggin can cope with such complexites at this hour...

                                        But, I would have to, well, I will have to get down on this a bit later.

                                            Back to the topic,

                                            Here's one more,
                                            this one it's only inspired by Hart's sculptures
                                            but I invented it. "Giraffe".
                                            whatever you want to say about or do with them is greatly appreciated.

                                            (I attached also a variation of "Knot Structured", I changed the colors to make it a bit more similar to the original).

                                            As usual: images and skp files ...
