Description

I had seen a sculpture based on a Voronoi decompisition, and it got me thinking. The Google search turned up lots of references! In particular, this java applet. With it, I made a simple example. In PhotoShop, blurring, thresholding, etc. led to a set of images I used to make lattices and terrains in Bryce. One Voronoi for all, and in less time than it takes to spit, another can be generated. Of course there's lots more steps downstream to turn it into part of a scene, or a real limestone or marble scuplture. I'm thinking sand casting stainless steel might just do it. Enjoy!

That is really nice--it has that organic fractal look that really works in a SF scene. Thanks for the tips, too!

Well done!

That's amazing, how you used this concept in your art! And what a fantastic structure you ended up with! I visited the site you linked to, I don't think I'll be using any of my results as architecture. Hahaha, I so sucked. Your creation is marvellous, though, awesome job!

oooh, that's too cute! I use constrained delaunay and voronoi triangulation at work almost evvery day! Very nicely done!

Interesting exploration and teaching here.

start with zinc - it melts a lot lower than stainless. so i guess voronoi is antonov spelled backwards. or something.

Artistic architecture but not very practical. I wouldn't want to pay the heating bills. Mattes can be used with terrain generators to make interesting and very fast produced meshes. Black and white images, height maps of faces, lots of things become possible when modelling is used this way.
