Contests / 2006 / Art of Threes Resolution

representations of three/da

color scheme.
3 main renders connected with the lighting. (middle one is semi difficult to see due to the size)
the futuristic style. symbolic of 'the new style' of da
the large size can be symbolic of the large commnunity of da
the renders suprpassing the boders can be symbolic of growth within the community.
the chaos can well represent how cranky DA is being right now. terrible two's are very apparent on the servers.
theres more, but i don't want to spell it out for you.

other than that you people are being overly critical of your first glances. take your time and think it through. 3 was a very broad topic, and rather than choosing something simplistic to work with, i thought this through and intentionalyl made it difficult to diffuse why/how it relates to 3 and DA. rather than smother thing with useless vectors and hordes of threes, it's creative and forces you to think beyond a first glance. full view please for higher details.

progs used: 3dsm, bryce, maya5, ps7
languages: (from left to right along the top) english, spanish, french, german, italian, portuguise
inspired by: [link] [opposing forces]
time spent:about 2 weeks off and on. i originally never planned on posting it in the contest.
other info:i know everybody isn't going to comment on this, but i appreciate those who take the time. all comments will be returned, although often it takes me a few days to do it. critism is more than welcomed. oh... and for the judges, i'd like for this to be judged in indy-art.

OH One more thing. What's great about it is, I've seen that abstract 3-d stuff seriously proliferate to the point where anyone else who tries to do it is called a "trendwhore".

This is *not* trendwhorish. Yes, I see some 3d abstraction, but this doesn't even seem abstract to me: there definitely seems a story there. The story may change each time I look, but definitely, there's a story.

This is great.

It's great because it evokes things to me, for instance, the River Styx or some other river between this world and the next. I see something new in it each time I look at it; at first I thought it was a dragon on either side of a river.

I can't really think of much else to say about it; I'd offer critique but honestly if I didn't like it I would've not bothered saying anything, and I can't think how I'd do it better...
