For this week’s Looking Outward post, I chose to review Claire Yoon’s Looking Outwards 05. The 3D computer graphic piece that she reviewed was CG/FX artist Jan Reeh’s Creative miniworld created in 2012 through 3Ds Max and rendered in Vray. Similarly to Claire, I was drawn to this piece because of how the word “creative” is expressed very literally and how the artist weaves a story into this 3D piece.
The other part that really caught my eye was the level of extreme detail and texture Reeh created, such as the grass or the bricks on the letter A. Furthermore, the effective use of sound, such as the explosion and the car engine, combined with the use of color and texture create a synergy that really breathes life into this piece. Claire also mentioned how the canvas fills left to right mimicking how we read words left to right which I thought was spot on analysis on her part and ingenious of Reeh to do.
