well... my 486-dx2 with 16 MB of Ram could render a translucid, reflective,
shiny, shadowed sphere on a checkered plane in this time

An interesting(?) idea I had during the last boli discussion was the
concept of a modern boli. A massive concrete bull idol covered with
decades of exhaust fumes, graffiti, concert posters, and pigeon crap.

Not mesh, iso's w displacement pattern. That is really the answer to
your question from before, "Is there something symbolized by using
blobs" The answer is that iso-blobing is where this is all headed, in
order to apply real displacement.
Don't like the table.
And it took up a lot of time even if it is using isowoods. My heart
really isn't in it to be honest, but I did make some technical
discoveries by examining and learning to use CHristoph's macros. More
along the lines of how to use paterns to perturb the form and get the
other patterns to follow the perturbations. I haven't yet come up with
the display solution for these studies, which means I can't put them in
context, which really means that I haven't yet realized what their
meaning to me really is.

Yes, yes, indeed, drawing connects between primitive magic and modern
context is a well mined vein, but one I find I am being drawn along
never-the-less. Was browsing the library yesterday looking for books on
African objects when I found I was engrossed instead by a picture book
of Leonard Baskin sculptures. Never dislked Baskin but always took him
at arms length. Later on he did endless prints of native americans
which was cool but got kinda the same. The earlier stuff was just
everything modernism hated with its seeming attempt to appropriate
gravitas by quoting classical art and mythology. But now his vision
looks a lot more interesting to me.

Nice shape. Never tried the isoblobs. I like corners too much.

Most done poorly in my opinion, however. Usually, in what I have seen,
some dull attempt at irony or even duller suggestion of some ancient
culture's effect on modern society. Both seem forced.
A modern idol represented *as* an idol, free of tired editorializing
about mystery, signifigance, or irony would IMO be refreshing. An idol
soaking up the ceremonial urban fluids of exhaust and pidgeon crap;
strengthened not diminished by them.

Had to google him. I liked the animal pictures.

IIRC, London had massive concrete *lions* covered with decades of ... :)

:) That's what I was thinking of. There's a picture of me sitting on one
of them somewhere, aged eight(ish) with grey school shorts. Yes, they can
get 'messy'. ;)

At least you grew out of it.

Apologies to Jim for abusing his thread.
follow-ups set, just in case.

Maybe that's why it looks like an overbaked brownie. It's trying to
tell me something.
