I've been wanting to make this update for a while now. The script now supports crystaline fractures! So... there you go. It can automatically break the solid in half along set plane surfaces.]]> photo Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:40:26 -0500 http://www.peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/crystal/testrender03.jpg.html http://www.peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/crystal/testrender03.jpg.html
I revisited the crystal script, making it more versatile and easier to use. Here are a few of the types of crystaline solids the script can make. For whatever reason, I especially appreciate the long thin crystals. They grab my imagination.]]> photo Mon, 04 Jul 2011 22:32:35 -0500 http://www.peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/crystal/testrender02.jpg.html http://www.peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/crystal/testrender02.jpg.html
With scripted generation, it's easy to make crystals which would otherwise never be found in nature. Here is a large clump of seven sided (septagonal) rotationally symmetric crystals.
The whole scene took a few seconds to generate. Very fun to play with.]]> photo Mon, 04 Jul 2011 22:30:26 -0500 http://www.peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/crystal/testrender01.jpg.html http://www.peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/crystal/testrender01.jpg.html
A quick cluster of tetragonal crystals. Note a few small corners clipped off from secondary growth faces.]]> photo Mon, 04 Jul 2011 22:30:25 -0500
