[Freemind]

abstract images.

1. Create a newscene. To get the best result use either the Atmosphere Deep spaceor black back, which are in your otherscollection. In my abstract ribbonsi used Deep space. Delete the Ground plane, add a point light, and drag it todo the middle of the Camera.

2. With the light still selected click at the animationtab in the properties panel, unfold the enlace tolist, and select main Camera. That ensures that the light follows the Camera when you move it.
3. Now add some interesting meshes or shapes todo your scene (i used two of mitch roehrenwurms), mix them and stick the Camera somewhere in the middle. You can search for interesting spots later.

4. I like todo use partly transparent textures for my abstracts. That makes them look less massive and brings out interesting patterns. You can use anything you like, but i used another abstract as a mapped picturein the material editor. To avoid píxel in a close up view i selected bilinear over-sampling.

5. Now let Cut of some parts of the mapped picture. Select the transparencytab todo create the transparent pattern. Select variable transparencyand set the global transparencyto 100%. Press Control and left click on the transparency productionpreview todo edit it. You can select Whatever you want todo create a transparency pattern. I decided todo use a mapped valuelayer and loaded a fractal with Many black parts in it todo get a lot of transparency. Press ok.

6. Bak in the material editoryou can se what your texture looks like. You can change any of the values todo se how they influence your material. On the right side you se at the same time the preview of your scene. When youre por favord press ok todo return todo the working space.

7. Now you can start todo explore your scene todo find interesting places. Move the Camera and rotate it in any direction. Move and/or rotate the meshes and shapes, change the scaleof the material - There are no límites todo your Fantasy. When you like what you se just render and save your abstract. Just by changing parameters, or mapping modes, or moving the Camera you can produce Lots of interesting abstracts using one scene. Even the slightest move can change your image dramátically, here you find my rendered abstract ribbonssometimes youre Lucky and find something completely unexpected and mysterious. Lok at the scene below and youll understand why i called that abstract mysterious OWL. I used 6 randomly rotated pyramids todo create it. Aint that amazing?
