REAL inspiration

I missed the first week of class and didn't realize that we were to pick a single artist and to use them as an inspiration. Not only that but we need to do a presentation (surprise!) on an artist for the class. I've selected a few... here's the first one.

László Moholy-Nagy

A Render Bender

So far... so no good!

What a struggle it has been trying to get everything to line up... I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it but the rendering is taking MUCH longer than expected.

This is a really quick no-frills render.
(the diamater of the nested shades are WAY too big)

Lighting Inspiration

I'm hoping to create something subtle and attractive with diffuse "realistic" light instead of the harsh cartoony FormZ stuff we often see.


Anyhow... my inspiration is the "ariel" lamp by Ron Rezek out of Ashland Oregon.

Form-Z Fut-Zing

Assignment #2

form-Z ate my brain

Cool, blue, smooth and slick.
The 'red' texture in this one is called "Strawberry"
Mushy-tan-yeech
Shiny!!!

In the beginning

I've created this blog, a partner to bishoff.blogspot.com, as a class requirement for my architecture media class. I'm already behind but, if I'm not mistaken, my class projects will be posted here on a regular basis. Look forward to a number of exercises involving 3D rendering and design.

My plan is to experiment with the new Podium light-rendering program for SketchUp as well as to teach myself some "stuff" about Form-Z.
