One of the best ways to learn, improve, and challenge ourselves creatively is to study great artists. Remember Picasso famously said, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
Ok, obviously literal stealing is not Picasso's point. Instead the insight of his quote is to get in the habit of admiring and analyzing esteemed artists. In this stream we're doing exactly that; focusing on one of my favorite 3D artists: beeple. We'll look at his background, sift through his body of work, and discuss his artistry/technique.
Beeple is famous for creating an image (usually 3D and always incredible) from start to finish every day for 10 years - and he's still going by the way. Read that sentence again. Besides his absurd ability to create quickly, he's above all a gifted artist. His #everydays work is a deep well of abstract visuals, realism, voice, composition, emotion, etc. Trust me: There is much to learn from studying beeple.
Sorry for the shameless spam, but here are some abstract artworks that you can easily say were "Beeple inspired" and made mostly in Blender :) https://www.artstation.com/jotaka
QUESTION: Would you recommend doing everydays?
YAY Zach! Do it! :heart:
The only (real) limits are the limits of our own imagination (and/or perception)
This certainly expands my idea of what can be done with current 3d software.
My top artist is Renaynte Martinez.
I'm going to go create something after this stream! I've been inspired!!!!
I need to get in to coding.
Now I want to do a crystal model airplane with crazy lighting :-D
Omar, he doesn't code, but C4D it's pretty good at procedural generated models, specially if you combine it with Houdini Digital Assets (that can be imported into C4D, although I don't think Beeple used Houdini for that one, he started learning it recently)
