Isamu Noguchi Clock

It is guys like you with stuff like that help me understand how weak I am at using SketchUp.
-
really nice work!
-
It's not Thea Time but Kerky Time!

Superb nostalgic piece. Did the dude in the other forum admit defeat ?
-
Thank you, folks.

No. I didn't want him to admit defeat, though. I just wanted him to see that this sort of stuff is indeed possible. He's declared SketchUp a failure because he can't manage it. And there are many examples of models even much more complex than this one that others have made. Reminds me of the old adage, "It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools."
FWIW, I only used two extensions for this clock. Fredo6's Bezier Spline and his Round Corner. Both of these should be the first extensions people install.

where are the time pieces of clockmaking mecanism?

...a view of the render environment for the skeptical...
just a wonderful model(idea) and a wonderful render!(I agree to your "first plugins" recommendation)
-
Nice model and great renders Dave. Very cool in both colours, though I think I like the ivory version best.
-
Gorgeous model and renders.
-
Thank you all.
And Bryan, that's very high praise indeed! TVM.
-
Great model and renders. Simple and clean.
Do you have the physical clock or working from photos? -
That's a great render. I was sure it was a reference image at first glance.

Hi Dave, really great render.
I found myself here because I'm actually in the process of restoring one of these for my brother, but it's missing the smaller knob and need to fabricate. Wondering if you list any of your renders on any marketplaces? Would like to purchase the sketch file, if possible..
PS - Noguchi called the piece "Measured Time"
Best,
Ron
-
Thank you Ron. It's cool that you have one of these to restore.
My models are generally not available however I might consider extracting the small knob from this one for you. The knob was modeled from photographs with no actual dimensions and I've never had the pleasure of seeing one of these clocks in person so I can't say it is perfectly accurate. Certainly the back of it wouldn't be detailed but I suppose you could deal with that. How would you fabricate the knob?
-
Superb render! I just went scrolling past the mesh in the 2nd image looking for the 'real' render until further posts had me backtrack to the start.
-
Thank you.

Hi dave, couple of fine renders... I do not believe that you are still keeping KT alive! So nostalgic, both model and engine

Thank you, sir. As for Kerkythea, it works just fine so I've never seen any need to leave it for another renderer.
