StevieJ's Lab :)

Alrighty.....switching gears.....again.... ....

3D glass shapes with embedded 3D forms.....embedded bubbles omitted to speed things up so that I can slap these samples up quickly....

Got part of the embedded form concept without all the scratch/refraction layers (like how Dilla did it in his Shark Tank filter).....which makes it way too slow to use with all the embedded form work. I'm going to perfect this.....or my name isn't Carl.... ..... LOL....

Go back to CFs string and re-read what I wrote.....can be any shape or flat....all about embedding 3D forms in glass....

Thanx Opal, glad you like them Embedding air bubbles/spheres is pretty easy.....embedding more complex 3D forms is turning out to be quite a challenge.....well, to do it without being so slow it takes days to render....but I will get it....damn it!!! LOL.... .....

Have you got any of your own HDRI images loaded in FF2, I had a few I loaded into FF1 but I don't think I have the patience to wait for them to load in again for FF2 unless they have sped the process up ?

Hold on....pause glass for a moment.....have temporary urge to post this crap....

aaah, some good old Stevie-Art, great as always.

The red and black variant is too nice! How are you rendering those strange attractors? in FF?

All of those wispy abstract pics are 100% FF? If they are, I have no clue how you're doing them, but I really like them.

The last one, wow, haven't seen something like that since I did my military service and we have a 15 hour party on the train home

Thanks.....glad you guys like them....

I have a programming buddy who is helping me set these up.....and trying to teach me the scripting at the same time. I don'r fully understand it all myself yet....but I'm gaining on it slow but sure.....

Rendering these 2D images is taking anywhere from half hour to an hour on a dual core, 3GHz, 4 gig RAM machine....and I can imagine that it is going to be excruciating longer once I break into 3D with them....

I will share with you guys once the scripts become more of my own intellectual property....

Hey Ron, Thanx.....not all me.....liked taking full credit.....but Sphinx and Indigo forced me to fess up.... LOL....

Wow, very nice, Steve.

Thanks guys.....and thanks for commenting.....your responses help me which "lines" of art are keepers.....and which ones are crapola....

Those actually reminded me of that as well....making the patterns with the plastic gears about 100 years ago....probably doing this as an unfulfilled artistic holdover from my childhood....

I'm finding them interesting to look at as well....so I'm going to do some further mad experiments with it before getting back to my glass and spirographs....

Great as always Stevie!

I agree with craig they are something new and vibrantly original and much more interesting than the millions of fractuals out there already, the only ones that excite me are the 3d ones like sphinxs, that are some thing new ...... hey just my opinion put down the gun

Cool..Stoned Neon or Stoner Neon..
