Not much may *seem* changed here, but I've worked a lot on the small 
details.

First of all, the stems have a different color and texture. I hope they 
don't look so unhealthy now?

The stems had some problems with intersecting with the metal quite a few 
places. I started fixing that manually by moving control points in the 
splines, but that turned out to be both very difficult and very boring. So I 
wrote an algorithm that moves the stems out of the way of the metal, using a 
lot of trace() calls. Once I got it tweaked, it did a lot better job at it 
than I could ever have done myself. The image should be free of intersecting 
objects now. If you spot any at all, please let me know!

I think I have decided not to have any leaves on the stems. It would look 
odd with brown or red or gray leaves, which are really the only acceptable 
colors in this image. Green is still not an option...

I have troubles deciding on a name for the image. Various ideas have been

"Broken Canvas" - focus perhaps too much on the form and not the content?

"Metal and Flowers" - the simple approach - I'm not so sure.

I've also toyed with several ideas trying to convey the theme of the image, 
but none that I'm satisfied with.
"Organic Design" "Artificial Organics" "Organic Artifacts"
Maybe "Constructed Growth"? "Designed Growth"? "Grown Constructions"?

*sigh* I don't know...

Metal Flowers?
Growing Metal?

What you did to make the connection of the aparently free floating piece, also 
made the all metal look somewhat harder. It nicely increase the 
organic/inorganic contrast.

"Floral Intersection"

Or summat like that. Calls attention to the to worlds uniting and the
positive/negative play inherent in multi-canvas form.

Looks good.

It looks great. I really like the frames and the colours are good. I don't
think it matters that some people say the stems look unhealthy. I think
they look quite interesting and go well with the rest ...and I don't think
they come off as unhealthy anyway :) I agree with no leaves! Also that its
hard to come up with a good name. "Ladder" and "Trellis" are the words that
come to my mind.

A repost, not because it was a particularly good post, but just to see 
if I can recreate part of the history that was lost in the crash.
It's my duty as a member of the Campaign for Real Time.

"Distributed render no 1" (assuming more will follow).

"Put your petal through the metal"

Something with Iris in it. If you were Dutch I would suggest "Iris Copy" 
but that might not translate (Iridology seems to be the english 
translation of what this is supposed to be a pun of)

"iridium"

     Soft/Hard

     Smooth/Rough


     I don't know either, but good renders Rune!

"Urban Renaissance" has some interesting conceptual shades.

Very nice model. Are you planning on printing this? Printing a papery
texture (the texture around the boxes) onto paper will produce a
cheapish-looking result in my opinion. Of course, building a real
thingwithholes would be best.

That sounds interesting. Care to explain them? :)

> Very nice model. Are you planning on printing this?

Yes, but not as one big poster. Rather as six posters, with each box being 
one poster in an aluminium frame, the three smallest ones being in A4 format 
and the biggest one being 60x90 cm.

The texture is supposed to be a wall texture - a simulation of the wall that 
the six posters will be hung on.

> Of course, building a real thingwithholes would be best.

Though not the same, the idea here is quite similar. :)

Attached is a different simulation using a real photograph.

The metal looks like recycled industrial scrap,  polished or painted
(reborn) for reuse?

The flower (nature) is returning to a once nature-less urban setting.

OK. I get it now. This will be very nice if not exactly cheap.
