The deconstruction of construct D by faroutsider

Previous: South side of the sky
My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

Excellent work!!!

I was going to pick up Groboto when it was on sale. I waited too long. Looks like that could've been a good thing. Cool sci-fi render. Have you tried animating with Groboto?

Looks like an interesting program! Great image!

I had tried Groboto briefly, but was not at all happy with it (of course I was extremely dissapointed by it's poor animation handling, not at all what it was said to be). You have obviously obtained some success with it for still images it seems. Good show.

Love the deconstructed look that you achieved. It sure is a fun program. Marvelous work!

Superb! No, no help, you must keep at it!!! This looks like so much fun. I love the blue. Is it an underwater contraption or a space station? Wonderful details in zoom too. Love it.

Excellent!!

Truly excellent! All the best artists are supposed to suffer for their art.

I love the depth in this. It's a great adventure just exploring all the shapes and details.

I have never heard of GroBoto! Never...And, so you know, that doesn't mean squat, since I rarely dabble in 3D (it scares the daylights out of me). But apparently it leads to wild structures like this! This almost seems underwater, or else it's floating in an atmosphere filled with a good deal of mist or vapor. And your lighting illuminates that very well. I don't know what that thing is, but I love it: I'd like to have one (lol---to hang on my wall, if I had a wall the size of a stadium), and I love all the parts you created for it. Your professional area is in the biological sciences, right? Biochemistry, molecular biology, biology, yes? I assume that from what you've written & shown here. Well if it is in the biological sciences, you obviously also have a relationship with extraterrestrial structures and engineering feats of the imagination, because this seems like something out of some whacked-out interstellar bicycle shop, where they make bicycles for brontosauri (I'll skip the dumb one-line response, "and if you've ever seen a brontosaurus ride a bicycle..."); and somehow the cycle, which is large enough to course the grand canyon in a few minutes, blew the hell apart. No one knows why, but it'd just 'had it'. And boom...the parts are now floating in this twilight space, and what a fascinating imaginative bunch of 'parts' you created. (It could be a space station too. Or the inside of a toilet tank for reeeeeeallllly large bipeds.) Just love it. And, on the ignorance theme, I also have no idea what your title means---my lack, not yours---but it fits, it's intuitively 'correct', and it sounds like it makes sense to anyone who lives in the world where these things exist. Love the piece & the concept & the execution. Tons of fun!
