Dust Storm, 2015 – Convergent :: (click to see more)
Got the fly around working so now I can fully see how each of the layers are interacting and correct problems before I go to print and build.
Here's the first successful flyover animation that gives a realistic sense of what the Light Signature pieces will look ...

Still working on the virtual layered render for Light Signatures so I can analyze and refine the layers for an optimum effect. Now have to figure out how to fly the camera around and render a sequence in Blender so I can see an all ...

Finally managed to create a virtual mockup template in the free 3D rendering program Blender - after much reading, trying and youtube watching. So now I can preview the image deconstruction and correct problems before committing to the OMG massive effort and expense of making one ...

It's looking more and more like the Convergent series is split along two possible lines - light vs dark or soft vs hard focus.
Initially I was thinking the light vs dark split was the way to go ...
It Worked
Cold and Clear, 2015 – Convergent :: (click to see more)
At long last, created a test resin piece yesterday with clear urethane resin and YES the ink transferred over to the resin... mostly. It wasn't perfect and there are some technicalities to work out but it essentially works and that is amazing!
I have hope yet ...

Wobble Is Good
Cool Breeze, 2015 – Convergent :: (click to see more)
Turns out these images need a little more focus than I can get from the pinhole and therefore do require the formerly dropped and now wobbly lens. Looks like its back to disassembling the lens but this time using a little glue on the loose screw ...

Feeling energized this afternoon - after definitely determining urethane resin is the way to go - transparent, clear and much less carcinogenic/smelly than polyester resin. A few items left to work out but feeling ready to actually proceed with volumetric printing Light Signatures. First step is ...

The things I do today in an off-hand casual way are not necessarily new things - but they certainly are much easier to achieve. It wasn't so long ago that I sweated ... or froze, in my basement darkroom trying to cull forth the image in ...

Weather has been pretty cold here for the past while and I'm finding my camera is freezing up during my ride. Nothing I didn't expect but still a little disappointing to not be able to collect images on some of the bright sunny clear days ...
