…oder anatomische Musik?
Virtuose Musiker scheinen oft Eins zu werden mit ihrem Instrument. Der amerikanische Künstler Shawn Feeney, verschmilzt in seiner Serie «Musical Anatomy» Musiker und Instrument zeichnerisch. In «SATB» (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) verleiht er der Sängerin vier Stimmorgane – wie das wohl klingen würde?

Die Softwarefirma Adobe veranstaltete im Rahmen der CS4-Promotiontour 2008 einen Kreativwettbewerb. In den Kategorien «Bildbearbeitung», «Layout/Print» oder «Video/Flash Clip» galt es eine oder mehrere Stadtsilhouetten der Tourstädte und optional den Slogan «SHORTCUT TO BRILLIANT» gestalterisch umzusetzen.
Ich versuchte mich in der Kategorie «Video/Flash Clip» und gewann mit folgendem Beitrag:
Die Equalizer-Animation wurde in Adobe Flash erstellt, die dreidimensionalen Sequenzen in Blender -3D. Ich freue mich sehr über den Gewinn der CS4 Production Premium Suite. Diese wird mir bestimmt auch zu optimalerem Schnitt und Timing in meinen Animationen verhelfen.
Am 8. und 9. November fand in Langenthal der 12. Designer’s Saturday statt.
58 Aussteller und Institutionen präsentierten an 6 Standorten neue Produkte, Prototypen und experimentelles. Die Präsentation der Objekte an Produktionsstätten der lokalen Industrie war sehr originell und abwechslungsreich.
Einige Impressionen:
Sad but true: 8 months and 4 days since my last post. No excuses (just been lazy), no promises for future activities.
I just came back from an inspiring Workshop about blogging - filled with new knowledge, motivation and ideas to give my little virtual planet a second start. (Deep in my heart I know I’m a blogger).
There are no new features in this release but over 100 bugfixes to stabilize the 2.4x series.
I just finished and uploaded my very first video-tutorial! It shows an easy way to cut evenly distributet holes into a model, using the subsurf modifier.
Gen3 is a powerful parameter-driven tree model generator script for blender3d. It’s quite slow, but the many parameters alow to create a vast number of different tree-shapes. Playing with these parameters I found a way to generate an agave-like desert-plant. Here are my gen3-settings for agave I used.
Spreadshirt, provider of customizable fashion online-shops and one of the most successful internet companies of the past few years, sets up a design contest to find a new corporate logo. Closing date is october 14th 2007.
As an enthusiastic shop partner of Spreadshirt (Foxyfish.com) and talented designer it is of course a must for me to enter this contest. My first sketches will be published here!

With my third post I dive into the third dimension of computer graphics (and finally into one of the main topics of my blog)! Usually we percieve the world around us in three spatial dimensions. So to enrich the two dimensions of our flat screen with some reality we can use perspective to generate the illusion of 3D.
The easiest way to generate 3D objects, animations, etc. is to use a 3D content creation suite. Which one? I strongly recommend Blender 3D Here’s why:
So if you want to get involved in the wonderful third dimension of graphic design, download Blender 3D here for free and start blendering!
Hello, my name is Nick. After designing the appearance of my site and blog I’m now ready to start posting.
I am very enthusiastic about smart and user-friendly combinations of aesthetic design and technology, so this blog is (will be) about web-design, computer graphics in two, three or even more dimensions. Later on I will test my didactic flair and share my experiences in the form of tutorials (e.g. for Blender3D or Flash).
If you stumbled across nickspla.net and my blog in this early stage, you may have recognised that in the “PLANET”-Section there’s not much to see yet. It’s going to be a sort of portfolio, showing my results and experiments of my (web)design and CG work. Right now it’s under construction, surprising you soon with stunning graphics and a fresh and entertaining web-experience – so I hope you visit this page again in a few days!
