Beauty Approximations

A thousand wires and a couple of light swimming around a point in a noisy field. Needs shading and stuff but the idea is to create some underlying shape that turns itself in and out. Movie.

Made this take as an abstract thread structure that breaks and fills the void between the two parts with liquid. The thread is an lsystem that curls up on itself, copied up and mirrored and then noised That means the two sides is symetrical except some noise but I think I get away with it. Update: both my supervisor and girlfriend complaints about clarity in my work these days, so here's a more clear version. Also, the lsystem is attached to a wire that breaks on the first frame.

Did some work on the "goodbye" project a bit. Ran intothis "materialised light" element that needed its own little side track. The idea is that colours expand from the sunset and flows over the mountains. Animation was pretty straight forward. Here's two tests for the shader I came up with. Water look . High frequency inner lights . Here's the geo I used . Next is to merge anim and shader into something that blends with the watercolour elements.

Worked some on my audio/vis experiment on the song "Goodbye" by Ulrich Schnauss. Badly compressed and it barely plays but maby one can decipher what's going on .

I'm doing some 3d stuff for a eco driven project. Here's a WIP.

Great excerpt from Nicholas Tesla biography "Wizard, The life and Times of Nikolas Tesla" by Marc J. Seifer: "...He decided to experiment. With Georff Scherff present, Tesla placed one of his mechanical oscillators where his laboratory was located and adjusted the frequency to the point where the beam begun to hum. "While he was attending to something else for a few moments, it attained such crescendo of rhythm that it started to shake the building, then it began shaking the earth near about [and other buildings with support beams in resonant frequencies]... The Fire Department respond to an alarm frantically turned in; four tons if machinery flew across the basement and the only thing which saved the building from utter collapse was the quick action of Dr. Tesla in seizing a hammer and destroying his machine." "The device could be a Frankenstein's monster," Tesla confided many years later. "If not watched, no substance can withstand the ste...

Painted some random colours onto a very wet watercolour sheet and let it smudge itself out for ~12 hours (quite amazing what those last 6h did). Captured the result and slaped it over this night sky. Next up is an animation with the elements together to get an idea of what I need to able to control, in other words, what I need to generate in CG and what can be real elements.
