thanks
could have used splines, but no, no splines, got spline indigestion
lately...
all csg: boxes, cylinders, Boxes
might go iso_csg with it though, if I achieve greater patience.

Yes, well I have always felt that Minimalist art did have some intrinsic
appeal. Though a Pop artist, I thought Robert Rauschenberg predicted
this when he hung a the blank, unframed, white-primed canvas early in
his career. I remember his as being a 2:1 aspect ratio though.

The stuff that you and JRG can do with procedural textures is
astounding. This looks like a mapped-on photo. Any hints?
An unusual frame. I'm curious what you used as reference (Has to be
paint-grade maple. If it wasn't a frame, I'd guess a piece of children's
furniture), because anything made from this grade of wood would usually
be painted. Varnishing a frame of this low quality would be an odd thing
to do. The question of what would be placed into a frame like this is an
absorbing one.

It doesn't really look like any model I had in mind, which, if anything,
would have been a gilded gessoed surface. I combined some stretched
crackle and some turbulated wood to try and get what might be either
brush strokes of the gesso, or, caked paint dried to reflect an
underlying wood grain. But instead, it just looks like painted wood. I
don't find that so strange though.

Looked at home on a better monitor. Intentional or no, that's maple.
With a thin coat of gesso maybe. To my eye, it looks like an old piece
of varnished low grade maple. Either way, it has an impressive real look
to it.
Found this on google. Hard to tell how good a pic it is on this terrible
monitor, but...

Cool, thanks for the reference. Canadians have a big identity going
with maple, of course, certainly when you come from Ontario at least.
But it was my wife's folks in upstate NY who actually tapped and
rendered their own maple syrup. You could even buy it at reasonable
prices in NYC, until very recently. For quite awhile the neighbourhood
hippy, dippy, health food store had a big keg of C grade syrup for maybe
$5 a pint. I actually preferred the taste of the C grade. A little
harsher and stronger flavour. Well I guess you don't drink but it was
like comparing rye to whiskey.
But not anymore. Now maybe you can still get some high grade syrup but
you can't afford it.
BTW regarding the picture and monitor quality etc. That tracing has a
soft, grainy aspect to it which I got by using a hugely proportioned
grid for the area light. Basically the light at a distance of 10 units
had a 10x10 unit grid.
