lsgl - babbling

by sven at 11:59 pm

I'm trying to finalize the model for the Elder Things' coliseum... Which I've nick-named "Babel."

Here's a selection of the models I've developed so far:

Too human.

Nice arch - but repetitive.

Too busy.

Nice and tall - but dull.

Bendy... But why?

Needs more curves.

Activating radiosity in that last pic makes a big difference... It fills in some of the overly-stark shadows -- and adds an interesting texture.

Slow going... Had to write a post just to show myself I'm making some kind of progress!

These are remarkable works, Sven. You must be a futurist architect. The Bendy version looks like something brilliant that will be a smash sensation in new architecture soon!

oh, and the "why" of bendy: non-euclidian! ;)

Hey Svetchin - I got something TOTALLY random for you. One of the programmers in my office just got a package in the mail from England, containing 2 copies of a DVD entry for the HPL film festival. He's all, what do I do with THIS? Well, I said, I know a guy who knows a guy...

@Shells & gl.-

Thank you both! "Non-Euclidian" is precisely why I gave that model a shot... And it looks even better if you pan upward.

Unfortunately, it's not quite non-Euclidian enough to make the grade for me!
