WOW those are really unique! Fascinating.:thumbsup:

how did you make those pics? looks like sculpted out of expanded polystyrene. Where did you get your inspiration from, if you do not mind me asking?

:hmm: doh, helps to read the original posting thoroughly first, i guess, lol

[Southern Fist]

HOLY CRAP!!! thats like the coolest things ive seen in ages, unique, sweeeeeet, wierd (in an amazin way btw)

do more, show us more please!!!!

totally sweeeeeeeeet dude!!!

excellent!!!!

[lildragon]

Nice work here, these guys are so original and incredible. beautiful work on these. the texturing and lighting is near perfect also!

[bad_math]

Beautiful. All of these are great.

It is refreshing to see something NEW.

[Venge]

really interesting and beautiful. very reminicent of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. I love you're lighting and use of understatement. well done.

[sixthe45]

One of the most unusual things i have seen.Good work.Quite refreshing.

[TWooster]

Damn, that's cool.

It must be the jpeg compression, but at first I though those were all low quality dig. camera shots. It really, really, looks like a clay/rubbery deal. Real nice, real natural.

Oh, and like everyone else said -- great concepts, great work.

Wires! (and did you use displacement maps? etc..)

Cheers,

-Tony Wooster

[BFlex]

WOOW, thank you guys for loving the work :applause:

well, i didn't get the inspiration from somebody else's art,
instead, it was from an accident when i was trying some displacement stuffs...... it happened to looked like a head :D

i thought it was fun to add more details on it, and that was how the first head was made :)

wonderful stuff :applause: ... the final tonal quality adds incredibly well to the unique subject .... beautiful, beautiful images

[BFlex]

Thank you. :)

[jason-slab]

holy cow, how long did it take to do those, are u using displacment mapping?

really creative and different:thumbsup:

[Sissi_7]

like the feel~~~~~~great!:love:

So it was a low-res sphere in the beginning, which can be mapped with displacement map easily.

The "Edit Mesh" modifier was used for twisting the model,
this is the most creative part. It's easy to make something refreshing in this stage, but most of the time it just doesn't look like anything, especially a head. Have to twist them a lot to get something look not too bad.




and of course, the "Meshsmooth" is for subdivision and "Displacement Approx" is for the renderer to render displacements.

wua~~:eek: :applause:

Man, it's a great artwork, forget the CG. I start hating all the perfect heads and statues I see around. Yours is like very personal, very original, stylish.

What was the purpose of those images? I think that if you make a little bit more in lighting/material/composition and render them in high res any art gallery or something would take them with lots of pleasure.

Good luck!

[ALZHEM]

O_O

I'm a Fine Arts University Graduate and a MAX user since 1994, and your job is one of the best I've ever seen

Really incredible

[lala7]

Holy Sh!t , it looks like a whole new kind of art , man you may-be ritch on this stuff one day , and I mean VERY RITCH :applause:

[marcello]

lovely work- initially i couldn't figure out whether these were sculpted from expanded polystyrene, plaster or even bits of plants & vegetables, so its incredible that these are made from polygons. even the wireframe looks like textiles work!

these 'happy accidents' are great aren't they? the bit i still can't work out is what sort of greyscale bitmaps you're using for the final displacement. you're not sticking your head in the scanner sideways & using the image as a rough 'height' map are you?

[Mikp11]

Wow! this work is great, I've never seem anything like this done in 3D before. I love it!

Maybe you could try one with a more shiney shell like surface on it. I think that would look really good.

Is there any chance you would show us the displacement maps, so we can get a better idea of what is modeled and what is mapped?

***** from me!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[DAREONER]

very good work, original !

[Garma]

heh, very original.
well done.

[mariamaria]

What an original work! Very creative. It doesn't looks like 3D

[Adam]

very original... I personally like the wires more than any of them.. can we see more wires

[mehdianim]

THat looks awesome! even your wireframe looks like a piece on its own!
Very creative work.
:applause:

[richardrosenman]

Beautiful images BFlex, very unique.

Best regards,
-Richard

[nomad_girl]

that wireframe is the best!!-- i love the material quality of it-- reminds me of eiko ishioka's operatic costume designs--- just beautiful--

do you imagine these as having bodies.... or just existing as heads? would be very interesting to see an environment for them--

striking original style for 3d-- interesting collection of stuff on your website too-- i like your drawings very much.

[urgaffel]

Really really cool stuff. I'd like to see how they look before the displacement, with just meshsmooth and edit mesh. Great work!

[IlCattivo]

Holy satan! I'm speechless! I would like one of those on a big poster in my Room. Think this is top 5 of all art I have seen here.

[pezz]

Amazing!!! :applause:

[bt3d]

Cool images BFlex. Very original.

[bengal]

most impressive thing, you are incredible...

[dickma]

what I am interested is the inspiration from you to have such visualization.....

I think it is much more interesting if you share with us.

[onscreen]

Hope to see a full underwater scene with the family. Good and original idea. I can't believe corals do have a facial expression. I wonder how will it be when they are in water..
brup brup .oO :applause:
