So if you are wondering why I'm not around too much.....

Let's hope you're not the person on the right

Impressive project, I'm looking forward to updates here!

Here's an early sample/test hand as proof of concept.

Mike Amos

Looks amazing, nicely done.

Cool!

There is an optic effect at the first image!
Feet seems flipped! So very perturbating!
Pareodoly advanced!

Box

Is it a head in a block or just a blockhead.

Rich O Brien

that's crazy!

is it hollow? like a mould?

Box

No, it is solid. It's basically a topographic map of the head. Same basic idea as a 3d terrain.

Rich O Brien

So is each pane etched with the contour?

Really cool project.

Box

Yep, there are 100 layers per figure, each with the contour line plus acid shading. The shading isn't in the samples.

pilou

Glass are moving or it's pasted ?

Box

Not the best quality image as it's only a phone photo.
We've been working the contours to add detail, it seems to be coming together nicely.

Rich O Brien

What app are you using? Hats off if it's SU. Looks like a dense mesh.

andybot

wow, very cool! Will the contours be closer together (relative to the shapes) in the full version? The contours are a bit distracting imo in the block head.

Box

Yes. Block head was a low res sample.

Box

Rich, we are jumping around various programs to get the data sliced, diced and tweaked. And one of the most rediculous things is we still need to move it all to an XP pc as the laser software still hasn't moved with the times.
I did once import the male figure obj into SU, it took more than 24 hours. It would orbit but anything else was impossible.

Dave R

Wow! I'd love to see you working on this in person.

Box

Pop over to Sydney before December and you can see it in process and enjoy an amber fluid or two. You would also see who Box is in reality.

Dave R

I'd like that. Don't think my boss would let me get away from work, though.

Box

It'll be after November,so everyone who can, will be throwing on their life vests, jumping in the sea and paddling like Cubans but in the other direction.

Dave R

True. Maybe I'll be moving in with you.
