Initial Shape Study
I had a productive weekend. Got a lot of stuff done in the garage, did a lot of landscaping, got some shopping out of the way. It was 3 days of bliss. Which is why coming back to my office this Monday is pretty depressing.
Basic Design Refined - Mirrored Skin
Working in State Government is like running a marthon in led sneakers. After a while, you just learn to shuffle. After so much shuffling, your mind tends to wonder to flights of fancy and the way things could be.
Final Texture Study
In the days before I took to writing everything down. I used to doodle. Not doodle with pencil and pen, but with computer animation models and raytracing software. If fascinated me a lot until I hit a bit of a brick wall when it came to complex structure design and textures.
Final Design and Detailing
There are still a lot of my old renderings on my computer at the office. Someday I might get back to it. When time permits. That is to say when I retire. These pictures are of a dream I had once. A dream of being severed from the led sneakers that drag me down and sailing amoung the stars in my own space yacht. When I dream, I dream big and in detail.
Final Rendering
It is images such as these that make me realize that I can discover so much more when I am freed from the rigid organizational structure of my job and set free to pursue my dreams. I suppose that most of life is a test to see if you can figure out what you realy want to do. It seems that life is full of TESTS.
These Raytrace renderings were modeled using Moray 3.5 and rendered with POV-Raytracer. Clicking on the pictures will take you to the full size renderings.
those renderings are freaking OUTSTANDING!
ReplyDeletep.s. glad you got the blog fixed.. for the last 30 min or so your page brought up nothing but gogglygook..
(and not the gogglygook that is USUALLY here.....)
I had not idea you were monitoring it so closely........now I feel like I am being stalked.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, the Internet is pretty screwed today, really slow and google / blogger is having issues.
lol at ^
ReplyDeleteany who, before writing i.. pretty much did nothing lol i've never really doodled or anything of the kind, i would simply play a "fantasy" life using those sims 2 *cough*extremelyaddictive*cough* games (which i refuse to play anymore). i find writing to be so much better though, it's way more liberating and you meet a lot of people in the way.
3 days in the garage. Should every weekend be 3 days? I'd be willing to have an 8-day week for that privilege.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, I love science fiction. Part of it is the cool things to ride around between planets. Love your drawings, or whatever they're called. CAD-drawings? Anyway, I can imagine flying around in them!
Very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteI hope I dream of spaceships, that would be very nice!
