3D and reality don't have to be the same

**Gary David Bouton** · 22 January 2003, 08:27 AM

Hopefully, I can generate the same sort of interest we had with the "2D apps:3D images" thread here.

Why does the product of a 3D app have to be a realistic object? Doesn't the dynamic properties of an unreal object rendered realistically have some artistic merit? Attached is a sahape I did in KPT 5. It looks like a chrome brain or something. I like the puzzling quality of the shape contrasting against realistic lighting and rendering.

My Best,
Gare

Nice piece of beef, Gary !!!

I agree with you. But why should reality be so realistic too ? In fact our vision of reality is so rich and depends upon our feelings of the day. Those may be so different from one person to another and they have more importance in our "souvenirs" than the physic characteristics of reality. That explain and justify so many differences in representing these feelings and souvenirs (Oops ! I am a romantic I think).
