Timeline?

It's been a long long time from last post. (*~*)

Now, I'm thinking the next step of the project. The next theme is 'Timeline', or 'Lifetime' of the objects.
Why 'Timeline' ? Because, the GMPs until now made completed shape of life. I mean, they have grown shape. But a real life is going 'Born', 'Growth', 'Getting Old', and 'Die'. How can I write it in a program? I think it's a big job, but it is interesting.

Stay tuned. (^_^)

Blender Conference 2013

I'm attending the Blender Conference 2013 at Amsterdam now.

And I'll have a presentation about my GMP project on Sunday 10:00 AM.

3D print test. (larger model)

I tried larger print test of B9creator for old GMP model.
It's not bad, but a little bit fat curing. Maybe a cause of cure time(too long?) or scattering with the white pigment.
(White model is printed at Shapeways)

Test object

It's a small 3D print test of GMP4.
The resin is 50-50 of B9R-red and SpotA Yellow.
It took 15 hour for print.

Partial apply

This script is able to apply partially selected faces. It's useful.

OBJECT X - Sezanne.

Partial Test.

Update some.

I'm brushing up GMP4 script step by step. And these are some test rendering with Cycles render.

Almost good.

Basically, this way to develop the GMP4 is good, I think.
The next is 'Variation of basic body and each parts'.

Level 2 done.

At last, I got Level 2 on GMP4. I'm really glad. (^_^)

Hmmm, strange.

I'm trying next 'Level 2' morphing, but it's something out of control.

Level 1

 Level 2

Morphing Level 1 !!

This is the 'Morphing Level 1' fig. I think almost good result at this moment.

Good direction!

After the modification of the code several times, good results were obtained.
But, it's very very first step of GMP4.

Failed!

This is first try. Hmmm, it's out of control cell division...

Morph Step

This time, I'm thinking about the step of morphing. Each cell(face) would morph with a few steps.

Level 1(make a basic form of the object)

Level 2(make the branches and apply subsurf)

Level 3(make the details)

A new idea for GMP4

At last, I started the development of GMP4. (1 is Original, 2 is Insect maker, and 3 is Plants Generator)
This time, 'Inheritance of property' is a big theme. I'm thinking 'How to make act a face as a cell of life'. An our cell divide many times, but the divide cell has the same property. So I got an idea to use 'material' for it. The material is able to apply for each faces. If it would be divided, same material would be applied for divided faces. Same on extruded faces. And it's selectable. I think it's a good idea to use materials.

And more...

3D printed objects.
Build with same parameters, and some random factors.

Printed objects

I got three objects with 3D printed by Shapeways. I found a lack of part, but almost good.

A little bit modified.

I tried to order the 3D print at Shapeways, but they said the models have some problems for printing. Too thin walls, etc. So I generated some new shapes that the problems fixed.

New [Plants] Objects

It's been a long time no see.
These are new [Plants] objects, so curious and complex shape.

flower W.I.P.

It is struggling with python to make a flower.

New Type

After some modifications to Plant Generator Type01, I got new type. It's still W.I.P for making flower part.

New website

I made a new website for GMP. It's just for Ad. (^_^)
