I was digging through some boxes of old stuff the other day and found quite a lot of predigital photos of some of my work from the last century.
This one in particular would have been so much simpler to design if sketchup had been available then. This was early 90s, pre computer in today's sense. From memory over 900 individual hand cut pieces of glass, each one angled by a few degrees to create a wave effect. And each had a fibre optic filament leading back in sequence to several light projectors running hand made glass colour wheels to create an undulating colour shifting northern lights effect through the glass.
The only part that was in any way computer generated was the three 20mm thick pieces of glass that made up the central viking prow. I hand drew the shape I wanted on a large piece of paper and sent it off to a company in Scotland that had a fancy new water jet that could cut glass. They scanned my drawing so the computer could cut it. I still had to hand finish them as the water jet wasn’t a clean cut.
And you tell the young people of today this and they don’t believe you.
