Looking Outwards 05 – Alison Hoffman

This piece is a 3D model of a Chameleon by Aram Vardazaryan done in completely in photoshop. Even though it is incredible that this piece only took him a week to complete, what I find more fascinating is how it not only is a 3D render in 2D, but that it is also completely sculpture-like. I would expect to find a piece like this in a sculpture garden, crafted from mixed metals and wire, yet it is completely done on the computer with software. It amazes me how realistic the metallic elements are. Recreating such effects must have required a lot of consideration when it came to lighting sources, especially given the fact that there is so much curvature in the shapes.
