Giving 3D Life to the Urban Crystals
Posted on 11. Aug, 2009 by admin in Arts, Hotel
This series of videos show three dimensional rendering of the Urban Crystal sculptures by Artist James Knowles, president and CEO of the Roger Smith Hotel.
1. The creation of these animations involve a two step process. The first step is to model the parts of the sculpture in a computer environment. The second step is its animation, showing how they are formed and placing them in their environment.
2. The building of these piece involve bending and twisting the piece, like Mr. Knowles does in stainless steel.
3. One of the most fascinating things about the Urban Crystals is their ability to interact with built environments. This animation show the formations of the pieces and their interaction with an urban environment. It is a rendered image built in a 3D modeling program.
4. This is a 3D modeling of some of Mr. Knowles scultpures. The idea is to show how it is built. It shows the movement of the peices, how they are bended and twisted, giving life to the sculpures.
