"The Tides · Of Life"
The creation of the sculpture

This video shows how the #sculpture was originally designed as a logo in #Softimage #XSI and rendered in different styles over the years

In 2024 we finally made it into the wall #lamp it always was supposed to be by 3D-printing it in four pieces on a #Creality #Ender 5 Plus

Genuary 2025 Day 19: "Oops Art."

"The inbound Stream of Dreams"

So today I'll cheat and post one of my favourite images ever.
A sculpture I modelled long ago in Softimage XSI with subdivision surfaces and then tried to UV-unwrap generatively...
...which went beautifully wrong, the checkerboard grid was deformed into a fantastic pattern.
I have this hanging on my wall as a large print.

When I see this interface of #Softimage, I think that it was years ahead of the competition, but I also notice that #Blender was inspired by this application, I believe that #Blender3d is the natural heir.
Old #XSI developers where are now? They could help the community #b3d

Another incarnation of the sculpture I posted yesterday.
This time rendered with a special C++ camera shader I developed for Mental Ray in Softimage XSI many years ago.
It allows to displace the camera rays with for instance a fractal noise like in this case.

For all my (3D) life I loved NPR rendering styles and this is one of the best results I got.
Love it! 🙂
