Description "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is infinite." William Blake 1790

Full View Recommended.... can't see overall scale otherwise



Anyone who I have commented on over the past couple years has seen the quote before. This is what i have wanted to make but didn't know how to express it until know.
Messing with just the textures for weeks... wanted a wet paint look.
This is the first of many revisions. There is a reason for everything in the scene... even the levitating little ones
Layout will get more complex as my machine is upgraded.

Update:
Just purchased Cinema 4D 8+ upgrade to 9.0..... I highly recommend to anyone trying to expand out of Bryce and go
to the next level

i am talking to my friend on the nature of the universe. so odd, perfect?, that your picture should be found.

how infinite are our wings with which we dance on skies of gods.

everything and nothing, and the in betweens and outsides of. that is all.

It's great!
Can i suggest something? why you don't size down the full view dimensions a little? its really difficult to see... well, at least when you don't have a wide screen.
anywayyyy, i really like it! it explains really well how we humans trust so much i our perception of the world when this one can be so easily fooled.

Hey, I've seen this pic long time ago, and I just signed in tonight, chilling and saw the message.
I want to be one of the guys in this image, in the circle.

Breathe.
Meditate.
Imagine.

Have a wonderful night.

This is a very plotted and thought out piece. I really like the appearance that the textures add to this entire scene. Really cant complain only small problem I see is the reflection on the center ball. The reflection of the people looks great but it dosnt seem to be reflecting the entire organe part to good, it might be the heaviness of the light hitting at that particular point that throws off the reflection. But thats just a minor problem nothing to serious, otherwise this is a very nice piece the looks both great and posses a true meaning.

Great Job man keep up the good work.

insomniac199 [2005-03-23 00:47:10 +0000 UTC]

there's something symbolic about this picture. maybe i'm reaching out a little but honestly, i feel there's a philisophical truth expressed here.

the characters in the image appear to be meditating/chanting a mantra in unison. the idea of unity is strength is accepted in virtually all cultures. but this picture goes one step further, it shows smaller circles of people feeding into the larger one.

unity provides strength and stability. the more unified the people are, the greater the strength.

lol, oops, started to ramble but honestly, it just made me think. awesome modeling btw, +fav
