LookingOutwards-05: 3D Computer Graphics

I looked at the project “Celestial Beings” by Jonas Pfeiffer, where he used computer graphics to create angles that are true to the description in the Old Testament. What I really admire about this object is that the artist utilizes elements the audience is familiar with but rearranges the elements to create something completely out of imagination. The freakish appearance with the familiar elements allows the audience to be both terrified and linger on the image. And through the manipulation of color, lighting, and other factors, the author made it resemble the description of an angle. I find it astonishing that computer graphics can realize one’s imagination or recreate mythical creatures that wouldn’t exist in real life.

It is most likely the author has modeled the objects in 3d modeling software and animated the object and put it through a renderer. The model might be generated through an algorithm that would pattern existing elements together, as shown by the clear repetitive elements in the angels.  

It can be comprehended that the artist is interested in Christian mythology, but enjoy modern texturing as shown in the rendering style of the angels. The modern accent is also displayed in the rendering of the “Orphan”, where there are elements that seem to be written by markers on the giant eye.

Looking Outwards 05: 3D Computer Graphics

This project explores the infinite out of the finite, and  is composed of differing, abstract shapes that change shape and form and travel from left to right, panel to panel in a 5×5 grid. The shapes never repeat themselves, and whenever they pass a panel grid line, they change their look and behavior in a larger form. The shapes in each vertical panel are different, but they hold some similarity because their parameters that control their growth are the same. I admire how it resembles a grid lithographic printing, with multiple shapes, textures, and compositions. I feel as though it shows how applicable and universal the options are with 3D computer graphics, even without the use of complex systems. The algorithm that generated this work is a closed loop.

LOOPLEX

Section B
Blog Post: 04 | Sound Art

LOOPLEX is a physical user interface prototype for live sound interaction. It uses software like
reacTIVision, MaxMSP, Ableton Live and Arduino.
The user can move the hexagons mounted on the prototype. These hexagons have fiducial markers
underneath them, and their movement is traced by DV-Cam, which generates notes based on the
direction of the hexagons. This data is mapped by supporting software and turns into audio loops.
In addition to the interactive aspect of sound, the prototype also supports color processing, which
enhances the overall experience. I particularly like this prototype because it stimulates experience
engaging the sense of touch, vision and touch simultaneously.

Looking outwards 05

Designer and art director Santi Zoraidez blends impossibly clean computer-generated animations and images with physical products to create highly original and captivating digital campaigns for brands such as Apple, Ikea, and Nike. Although not much is known about his highly coveted artistic process, it is clear that he depends heavily on 3D modeling software to create the “physical” objects of his art. Then a phenomenal rendering software is used to give the objects materiality, texture, transparency, shine, and luminance.  I really admire that the images Zoraidez creates are clean and modern, and embody a kind of playfulness that is rare in marketing. Similarly, his animations are bright and full of forms so realistic you want to reach into the screen and grab them.

Project 05 Wallpaper

For making my wallpaper, I first drew the sketch below where I wanted there to be a striped background, flowers, and a curving dotted line behind the flowers that would connect them vertically. Once I achieved this, I adjusted some things like making the flowers have more layers and, instead of one stripe behind each flower column, I decided I liked many stripes better.

Looking Outward – 05

Eugene Golovanchuk (aka Skeeva) is an art director and 3D digital artist. His artwork uses “3D dark art surrealism, captivating in its cyberpunk flare.” Much of his work has a focus on fashion, developing outfits digitally. I chose to look specifically at his project “Oversized” made in March 2020 which was one of his personal projects where he wanted to learn how to use “Marvelous Designer” to simulate clothing and animation. This project shows animations of three different outfits (with a focus on oversized coats), and the video above shows the first outfit of the series. He uses imagery and animation to show off the garments he designed, and they are so cool. His artwork is fascinating as it seems so real, yet so out of this world and like nothing I have ever seen before. The patterns and textures are mesmerizing. I think this is also very interesting because so much of fashion is about texture and materiality, and Skeeva is able to achieve this kind of detail all through a computer.

Project 5: Wallpaper

I decided to go full floral vintage and make a flower wallpaper! Also thought it would be cute to have a little tear in the corner, revealing the wood paneling underneath.

anabelle’s blog 05

One 3D computer artist I find inspiring is @dedouze on Instagram. His works propose an interesting side of 3D art because his works look 2D! Actually, it can be hard to tell which works on his page are 3D models versus sketches sometimes because the visuals stay so consistent in a static image. The only time you can really differentiate the two is when he animates his 3D works. He uses blender for all his works (this is particularly inspiring to me, since I just learned how to use blender a week ago for another class. It’s like, ‘wow, this is what I can work up to?!’). I think his art also departs from the usual aesthetics we associate with 3D art — I’m thinking Pixar’s cartoony style or Hitman’s hyper realistic one. dedouze’s art is the only convincing example I’ve seen that makes me think that 2D animation can be improved with 3D. You know how sometimes a 2D show briefly switches to 3D and it’s really jarring and not visually pleasing? I feel like the studios in charge of those shows could learn from that it is possible to make smooth 2D and 3D transitions without removing the audience from the visual experience.

Blog 05: “PK3D Studio”

By Ilia Urgen
Section B

PK3D Studio is a CGI-based studio in Warsaw, Poland that was founded by Piotr Kosinski. His main speciality of design includes automotive and technology advertisements.

CGI is a field of 3D Computer Graphics that focus on real-life characteristics. I am truly inspired by Kosinski’s work related to automotive advertisements because I am a passionate car enthusiast. He is very good at making cars blend in any background he chooses.

You know when you see in-focused cars speeding down mountains in ads? That’s a huge majority of Kosinski’s portfolio. I really admire how he takes crip, high-quality photos of cars at different angles, and then blends that car with any beautiful landscape using CGI.

His advertising skills definitely work. Kosinski has a good eye for design, as evident through his diverse automotive portfolio. Every time I see his ads, it makes me want to buy that exact car!

Below are 3 of my favorite CGI-designed automotive ads:

BMW-2
