DAAP '96

"DAAP" is my first test of 3DStudio^tm; and Truespace^tm; models of my sculptures, converted to rwx format, and presented on line. The four sculptures below are taken from design features in "Moiré Screen", my first computer generated model, which was derived from earlier "real" works fabricated in wood and aluminum.

"Triangles 1".	"Triangles 2".
"Moiré Disc".	"Square Screen".

"Diamonds", below, also came from "Moiré Screen". The group "Rotating Cubes", based on a sculpture fabricated in plywwod, is an example of how computer modelling helped me increase the complexity of a repeated arrangement of a single shape. "Twister" is the most complex single object I have installed in DAAP to date. Walk into the center and "Bump" up , then look down as you descend. I've used this view for the background to this page.

"Coronet" was installed as a further test of Active World's ability to handle large single objects. "Twisted Crystal", a Formica©sculpture modified on the computer, is my first use of transparency in DAAP. "Macarina", renamed from "Dance" to celebrate the avatar action button first shown in The Gate, and "Geo Venus", are both accurate reconstructions of existing sculptures in Glass fiber and maple.
