Comments for Jacks
Jacks: 10/08/07
After having worked with models created by other digital artists, I usually find myself itching to create something myself. When time is tight or my children need extra attention (say when they have colds), whatever I build must be simple and quick.
Gerald Schwartz's painting "Game Time" provided the perfect inspiration in the form of a game of jacks. Jacks can be built using Bryce primitives and boolean operations: six cones, and six spheres (two of which are negative) make up a single jack. The ball is obviously another sphere.
All that is left in the set up is the placement of the lights. I used my standard "four wall neutral box", a dark and enclosed set with gray walls that I first created a year ago for "Tomato."
Set up and render time combined came in at about half an hour. My more complicated pieces can take a couple of hours to set up and two days to render. Sometimes though it just feels good to do a quick digital "sketch."
