The remarkable thing about human beings is that despite knowing that it is impossible to attain perfection, they strive for it anyway.
So I kind of felt like having my computer render something all night. Then this came into being.
Made in blender. Rendered using Cycles.
The fruits of an experiment I started in After Effects. It started as a way to quickly make a good-looking bokeh background. But 5 hours and 120 lines of custom JavaScript later I ended up with this.
The song is Vinyl Soundwave by DJ Dijkstra: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDjDijkstra
Totem Render by ~BenWurth
3D models of the totems I previously made concept art for. Rendered in Cycles with Blender 2.64. Hastily textured.
Futuristic transparent tablet with black and white UI. Modeled in Blender with the Cycles engine.
User interface I created in Illustrator for a model I’m working on. I tried to experiment with the idea of circles and symmetry.
Study for a film I may or may not make. I tried to make it as pretentious and “artsy” as possible. (Don’t take this too seriously)
- Just made this in Audiotool. Had fun playing around with the filters.
(No streaming audio available)41 plays - An experimental track created over a few hours in Audiotool. At this point I’m mainly playing around with it to see what it can do.
(No streaming audio available)26 plays - I think it’s fascinating to know that these songs are about to leave the solar system. Maybe in the future, some other being can enjoy the sound of Johnny B. Goode.
