So THAT’s what it is. My daughter tells me that I am the most introverted person she has ever observed.
@ateliernab - these wall pieces are great. Nice work.
These are great. When I taught high school kids, the art department head that hired me specialized in paper constructions and book binding. It inspired me only once to use Flatery and make a paper construction from SU, but it’s lame by comparison.
I think that’s what rendering programs are for…
yeah, besides, this was for fun, I would never use SU to model a hi-res oreo for any actual project.
I know some people wishes SU was both on par with revit, blender, rhino… but I don’t.
I’d rather have better interoperability than a bloated software.
especially since I don’t do oreos every days 
edit : and before anyone decides to start a debate on the subject here, it’s my gallery, not the right place. debating on this topic will have to happen elsewhere 
“quick” doodling of the evening, so I don’t think about the big group I’ll train starting tomorrow.
SU + twinmotion, should have gone with a 2d cutout for the silhouette, might delete her, re-export and post-process again later this week. or not.
This is based on the Palau Balañá cinema in Barcelone, famous for its cladded façade.
you can find various photos online that completely inspired this render.
Oh, and I’ll rephrase. this forum is huge. this thread is about stuff I do. not about blender.
Oh that’s nice. Agree though - 2d figure probably better for how graphic that is.
We will be in Barcelona over the holidays - I will have to add that to my list of places to wander to with the camera.
as far as I know, it’s closed now, I saw it a decade ago on an architecture school trip there, but it was early july, middle of the day, so no fancy shadows. Still, in an age of ugly blind buildings, this one standed out.
I would love to just make some photos of that exterior… have a list of places we’ll try and visit. I end up boring the family with walking / architecture / photos so I’ll get out early for walking with my camera - but some of the Gaudi stuff my eldest is already excited about seeing.
well it’s here, and you have a nice park (as far as I remember) across the road
I removed the zombie woman, re-rendered, did a quick post treatment again, and added a cutout woman.
everything here is a quick and dirty job, the 3d, the render, the photoshop job. and it does the trick
it’s theatre.
yes. well, no, I’m one of the 9 finalist, not one of the 3 winners.
someone else made paper art. one of the winners made raviolis. I mean, combining aperiodical tiling of the plan and food, what’s not to love there ? 
Congratulations! Still a win: contestants 1-10 get a feather in their cap!
When do they plan to have it installed in the Louvre? ;^)
I don’t think there are living artists in the louvre… and I plan on living a couple more years to the least 
(btw, in the previous message, first link is a poorly made pdf version of the article, for non Americans without subscriptions to the NYT)
Ha. I followed the other link and tried to do the ‘don’t-click-on-anything-but-just-scroll-and-try-to-peek-at-whatever-I-can’ technique.
And, well, I’m going on the record here and now to say they’re being shortsighted on this one :).
quick 3d for last night / tonight, with a quick rendering from Vray.
I’ll probably dive deeper in Vray in january, but having just installed it, I had to just… go click on stuff and try (after artlantis, renderin and twinmotion, it’s not that complex)
inspiration from this cyanotype
I wanted a contrast between the pure yet detailed white walls and arches - and the flat dark blue levels.
I didn’t know what render I was gonna use, hence the carving. plus, I like carving stones like that, turn off your brain, and go.
I would almost never say this… but it appears your mask has slipped. ;^)
The first one was compelling me to want to try to make a more squarish version of that. But there it is. I like the design and the model.
Haven’t been there in a while.
To be fair, with all the end-of-year classes, and all the start-of-year ones, I’ve been busy mostly teaching. and getting the flu on my off weeks.
busy busy.
Did a quick something, based on a book cover that had a cool looking 2d pattern, had to scratch my head a bit on this one, found a “smart way” to do it, then spent the next few hours wondering why I did it that way.
various réflexions, ended up with the middle one.
you see the hollowed-out triangle ? that’s the bottom. but at the size I cut / assembled it, it ended up a bit too narrow for confort. it should have been 3 separate tabs.
anyway.
I need to find a new / better paper source with more tones. this one had the two oranges I’ve used in the previous piece, plus a very sanguine (reddish) one, but it was way too red.
On a side note, I got a funny package from the US last week, a friend called it “a weird-looking cheese board”.
There are hexagonal cheeses (off course), I’ll need to secure one for a better photo. Or… 2, in order to make an einstein.
few weeks ago, instagram kept pushing ravioli-shaped spoon rests by Booboo
I had some sudden work schedule changes this week, so, to pass time, I decided to model raviolis.
it’s 90% native tools, I used Bevel but really, I could have used follow me. Bevel was just quicker.
This is a quick (over-exposed) TCV render, I didn’t want to spend half an hour on twinmotion for that.
And thanks a lot, now i want ravioli! 
Motivated by someone (who will recognize themselves) realizing how long they’ve been at it, I went and looked in my archives.
16 years ago, feb 29th 2008, I did that. I spent a week of low-tech sketchup class, with lectures in the morning (200 students in the amphitheatre, maybe 10 computers among us all) and lab work in the afternoon (2 per computer, 2h to make the exercice)
Day 1 was just goofing around, day 2 was some geometry, day 3 we did a crude corinthian column, day 4 we worked on a small roman temple, day 5 was materials and context
there are so many tiny things here and there that are wrong.
And, using the dimensions, I redid the whole temple a few years ago in class, live, it took me 10 min ?
Anyway.
Pretty sure I peaked right there and then.
edit : when I see ALL the stuff I manage to cram in a 5 day - 35h class these days, my student don’t realise how easy I’ve had it
