Country road in Provence by words

Again?… It seems that I like Van Gogh. It’s true, but I also think that my algorithm works well with Van Gogh painting style… I like the results that’s why I want to share it with you.

The image base is “Country road in Provence by night” and the Van Gogh quote: “the way to know life is to love many things”.

3D alphabet experiment

I am in the middle of a new ‘special’ poster, and I am making some testing with different technics… For example trying to use the Zdepth map with my algorithm… with no acceptable results 🙁

But…  I want to share with you some of my test files. This one is based in a render of a random geometry (3dsmax and Grebble). It contains only alphabet letters. Quite simple but no too bad. Suitable for abstract forms  fans.
