A tool such as Adobe Photoshop or any of those 3D programs, such as Autodesk Maya, Blender or 3Dmax, sometimes allow us to look good surprised by art projects that arise from the experimentation of trying and trying without stopping.
This is what Will Atwood has proposed with his Mixed technique in this piece called "Cubiform concept" in which he has used an acrylic painting and layers of resin as a base to experiment on it from a digital program. It is the same artist who explains part of the process to arrive at the image that we have as the header in this post.
What it does is map the image, which means that the whiter is a pixel, the higher the height of your place in 3D. To then map a cube to every vertex of that mesh. The program used is Blender to produce that effect and in itself it supposes to put a small cube for each vertex or vertex. It also uses the plugin developed by Pixar called Xgen for the process.
Atwood has also been recreated to offer other looks and experiments to his work in acrylic like the image below. An artist who uses his own physical creations as a basis to later produce those digital experiments that make up a good repertoire if we pass for his Instagram, where he has a large part of those works and you can follow him if you wish.
An interesting proposal in which real art mixes with digital and with which we can find another very different slope through which to navigate other ideas and concepts. The digital bathes that technical and creative capacity of great artists who continue to explore these new tools that have been with us for very few years if we compare them to what has been the same charcoal or oil.
Head over to this algorithm to learn about another strange experiment.
