3d art is something that I’m passionate about and for this post I wanted to talk about art that inspires my own personal pieces. But, I wouldn’t learn much if I were to discuss something wholly familiar. However I don’t have much knowledge of generative 3d art. I chose Tom Beddard‘s fractal art because it looks very algorithm heavy. Motivated by visual complexity achieved through simple mathematical processes, Beddard writes his own software and tools to produce these complex fractal images. I admire these pieces of art because they create an environment of their own. The manifold details and configurations of the objects fascinates me, and makes me realize how time/computing intensive it would be to attempt to model and render this through software like Maya.
