where's me gyroid? **UPDATED**

[inkydigit]

I made some Gyroids in K3DSurf, these sculptures make a fabulously resonant sound when you beat them like a drum!
I have a few tweaks to do, and a whole lot of other versions to experiment with, minor colour/contrast/saturation/levels adjustments in pw.

[schmeerlap]

bless my aching lamellar copolymers! Them's nice ones.  
I guess one of the tweaks is to erase or attach that rogue triangle above the left gyroid. But, as I say, nice.

cheers John, indeed rogue triangles must be eliminated....

those edges are sharp! sharp enough to cut pixels!

rogue triangles must be eliminated....

funniest thing I've heard this morning...

I tried, but nothing happened but a smashed computer screen...

Nice and weird, Jason.  I wonder what one of those would look like hanging off one of my Mojoliths...?

[inkydigit]

Jason, I think you've been bit by the Rich2 bug for unusualitis. This is a good thing however ...keep on!

[inkydigit]

more iso surface fun, again sculptures created in k3dsurf, modified in blender and converted to tgo, vegetation by Walli, Klas, and Lightning, atmo and clouds by me, and minor colour/levels etc tweaks in pw...
thanks for dropping by, again!~

[inkydigit]

update no. 3....as above, just some reseeding/population tweaks...

[Klas]

Hi inkydigit, great, but what I don't like in this pictures is that the horizon is visible behind the trees. Here is what I would do:
Adding a population of the trees and set the y-transform for the object to a negative value, for example -7 if the tree is 10m then adding a displacement shader for the population at the end of the shaders as terrain for the population to vary the height of objects.

[inkydigit]

thanks klas, that looks like a neat way of solving that particular problem, I did try to minimize the effect by adding a small terrain in the background, but I may also try a low poly population of trees/shrubs also....cheers

The lighting on these new ones, particularly in the first, makes them look more real. Nice!
