3D construction by Nature

Pancake Rocks, Punakaiki, New Zealand

Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park.

The Pancake Rocks are a very popular tourist destination at Dolomite Point south of the main village. The Pancake Rocks are a heavily eroded limestone area where the sea bursts through several vertical blowholes during high tides.

"We're kyle and liz, a husband and wife architectural design team in Los Angeles. The Sugar Lab started when we were graduate students. We wanted to make our friend chelsea a birthday cake, but we didn't have an oven, so we decided to try to 3D print a cake instead. After a period of trial and error that lasted well beyond her actual birthday, we managed to print chelsea a tiny cupcake topper that spelled her name in cursive sugar. She loved it! We thought other people might like 3D printed sugar, too, so when we graduated, we started The Sugar Lab officially, in our studio here in Silver Lake."

Gustav Metzger Thinks About Nothing | Design Week

Artist Gustav Metzger hooked himself up to a robot carving machine, that turned his brainwaves into a sculpture.

"Working with art and technology group London Fieldworks, Metzger created 3D shape information based on EEG readings of his brainwaves as he furiously tried to think of nothing."

Markus Kayser | Solar Sinter Project

"In August 2010 I took my first solar machine - the Sun-Cutter - to the Egyptian desert in a suitcase. This was a solar-powered, semi-automated low-tech laser cutter, that used the power of the sun to drive it and directly harnessed its rays through a glass ball lens to ‘laser’ cut 2D components using a cam-guided system. The Sun-Cutter produced components in thin plywood with an aesthetic quality that was a curious hybrid of machine-made and “nature craft” due to the crudeness of its mechanism and cutting beam optics, alongside variations in solar intensity due to weather fluctuations..."

The future of sculpture

Non only a confusion exists among the public between art and craftmanship, but indeed in many cases expression has been limited by technical difficulties. 3D printing is crossing over the matter (pun intended) therefore allowing a real freedom of creation...

Revolution in Art & Design using 3D Printing | Objet for Neri Oxman

"In this insightful interview, Neri Oxman,architect, designer and professor of Media Arts and Sciences and Director of the Mediated Matter group at the MIT Media Lab, explains the differences between 'additive' and 'subtractive' manufacturing. Inspired by things that 'grow' in nature, Oxman uses the world's most advanced 3D printing technology - the Objet Connex500 multi-material 3D printer to produce some incredible models which will be on display at the Pompidou Center until August 6th 2012 at the 'Multiversites Creatives' exhibit. Neri also explains 3D printing within the wider paradigm shift in technology and manufacturing - comparing it to the Gutenberg 2D print revolution of the 1440's."

3Ding from a to z

The nature of volume is 3D per se.

Yet the 3D softwares which were originally developped for undustrial applications, found their way to a wider field, thus meeting... sculpture.

Do not focus on the styles there but on the flexibility of 3D softwares and printers looking forward to discovering, daily, new spaces of expression.

Unbelievable accuracy Kennis & Kennis

Dutch artists: Alfons and Adrie Kennis

"This reconstruction is made on casts of the original bones from the Feldhover neanderthal.

Missing bones were added from other skeletons, Spy neanderthal, Kebara neanderthal and Monte Circeo neanderthal. First (if necessary) we reconstruct the missing and deformed parts.

After that we drill holes in the cast, we fit pegs in them, which length corresponds with the measurements of skinthickness of today's people (Helmer and Lebedinskaya) or apes.

After that we apply the muscles. Layers of plastic clay cover the muscles until the pegs are submerged in it.

The pegs can of course not be absolute guides because they are based on measurements of modern people and apes.

In this stage we already get a rough impression of the volume and contour of the face and body which can be quite a surprise. The forming of the nostrils, eyelids, lips and ears is educated guesswork. These parts of the face are very important to make a character and a portrait.

We want real characters so we give them more lively, expressive faces." Alfons and Adrie Kennis

New 3D speed bump of girl crossing road that suddenly 'appears' in front of drivers | Mail Online

Shocking new 3D speed bump illusion of girl crossing the road that suddenly 'appears' in front of drivers

"It sounds like a terrifying experience that would make even the most seasoned of drivers panic or even crash.

But a school in Canada is using a bizarre 3D optical illusion of a young girl crossing the road to try and make drivers slow down.

The image of a girl chasing after a ball is painted on the road and elongated to make it appear three-dimensional when seen from an approaching car..."

Copernicus has left his trace in our history as a clairvoyant man of science. To see his face makes him closer to us as would a picture taken when time travelling.

Blast from the past: Remote Ancestors and faces in 3D / Part 1

Blast from the past: Remote ancestors and faces in 3D / Part 1

Not so long ago, probably thanks to the bigots' reaction to Darwin's theory, we were experting to find some evidence of the "missing link".
Such a belief was so strong that it issued a forgery: the Pildow man...
Since then and after Konrad Lorenz's comment: " we are looking for the missing link and I found it, it is Us" Paleoanthropology has progressed strongly and accurately.
What we see here today is just flabbergasting!
This travel back through time to meet our ancestors, not even knowing if we are direcly related, but after all we share fifty % of our DNA with bananas, is made possible through 3D rendered figures.
In other terms, sculpture.
Since forensic specialists have started reconstructing faces from skulls, the techniques have progressed a lot both in terms of precision and realism but clearly enough, this is not art per se but science.
Nevertheless what speaks to us all is not the scientific process but the expression we read on those faces as we are deeply accustomed to what remains purely cultural: aesthetics.
That brings us to the most amazing nineteenth century artist : Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (austrian sculptor 1736-1783) who dropped out of the baroque academism to enter a world of his own using his strong talent to represent humans a very different way.
No aesthetical intention in his work but the strong, anatomically perfect, representation of human faces as no one had never seen them.
His work is in fact quite close to paleoanthropological reconstructions of today and, to my concern stands as a perfect introduction to what could be realism today.
As realism in art has not much of an interest, more clearly no pertinency, forensic/ scientific reconstruction is a developing field.
If it all started with plasticine and elementary tools, today's 3D softwares are certainly a much accurate processing, starting with a 3D scan of the skull then constructing the volumes, adding colors, movements...
Then the true difficulty stands with the soft parts, age, wrinkles, hair, expression, and various "secondary" aspect which must be rendered according to scientific precision.
We actually don't know if such a dedicated software exists as they are not given public access but we would be strongly interested in whether gathering information about it (them?) or having one developped which would allow the creation of a worlwide online data bank.
Such a tool would not only benefit to all forensic research but would open widely the doors of the whole human past... Armand Dauré

The Third & The Seventh

via vimeo.com

via tweet: @argentbeauquest Beautiful video of architectural art: http://j.mp/6oh6zw (via @CreativityBoost)

THIS IS CGI. ALL OF THIS GammaSquad

" Alex Roman made this video, The Third & The Seventh, using 3dsmax, Vray, AfterEffects and Premiere."

Roman describes it as “A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.” I don’t know what all that jibba jabba means, but I like shiney things. It also helps that he used Michael Nyman’s “The Departure” from Gattaca as one of the songs. You could put that song on a slow-motion video of me getting beaten mercilessly with a wet pool noodle and I’d still tear up and say, “It’s so beautiful.” And not just because I’m into that."
