LO 5: 3D Computer Graphics

For this Week’s Looking Outwards, I will talk Romain Lemaire’s Color Project – Blue 01 Oily Paint Stroke (Early 2021).

Lemaire is a French “Freelance Material Artist” – as per his ArtStation Profile. He created this artwork as he sees his ability to work with color as a weakness. Hence, by working more with color, he will improve his abilities.

The Work itself was made using rendering techniques from what I could find. As for guesses on what algorithms were used, I would say ones that depend on where the strokes of the mouse are. I admit I am unknowledgeable of the process of creating 3D art other than the common terms like “rendering” that are used.

Other than that, I like the Work because of how different it is from everything else I saw. When Professor Cortina told us not to do Video Games, I was kind of dreading writing this LO up. That dread increased as I was trying to find 3d Computer Graphic Artwork that was not Video Game related. I originally used google images, but after clicking on one of the links for this Week LO’s writeup, I began searching on ArtStation instead. After searching the tags of #Digital 3D and #Abstract, I found Lemaire’s Work.

Besides the Work’s originality, I liked how warm it made me feel and a weird sort of peace that it instilled. Finally, it just looks good in all honesty – which I know I say for all of my LOs.

Here is the links to this Work, his ArtStation Profile, and his ArtStation Blog.
