lsgl: a more organic beacon
by sven at 11:59 pm
None of these designs look right to me... And instead of trying something really different, I think I'm getting stuck permuting the same set of ideas over and over.
I wanted to make the beacon's legs a little more organic...

Then I thought it might "read" better as a transmitter if I turned the discs upside-down. But whoa -- that texture's not what I meant to do... Interesting, though!
Here's what I was going for.
Not too bad... But what if I took one of those discs off the top?
Little tweaks...
Feh! This thing is driving me crazy!

I like the last one because the legs echo the elder's legs and the body texture suggests "brain". And flipping the disks looks like how we in this era would think something that transmitts should look, outward reaching.
You really can do anything you'd imagine you'd like, as you only have to satisfy yourself, as we say.
