Key visual for Jan Henrik Hansen with vvvv
On 04, Dec 2013 | One Comment | In Blog | By Armin Seltz
Jan Henrik Hansen asked me to code a custom software to create various key visuals for him. These are some examples of unedited output of the software, which is coded in vvvv. Each “rendering” can take up to 10 minutes to finish and watching the type form slowly is one of the most mesmerizing, relaxing and magical things I have seen in a long time.
The output can be rendered as an image at any size and simultaneously create a video of the rendering.

Octane lives again
On 15, Mar 2013 | No Comments | In Blog | By Armin Seltz
After a long time of not opening Octane render, the beast of a render engine has once again been released. Octane is now in Version 1.1 and brought some amazing revelations. They have added instancing as one of the features, which finally enables us to render out the creations of the vvvv-midi-to-3d-project.
Here are a few of the first renders of midi-generated 3D shapes how they SHOULD look like. They were rendered on a Macbook Pro and took between 3 and 30 minutes.

As of February of 2010 I will be taking some time off to do a Masters Degree at ZHdK, Zurich in Switzerland.

Vortex images

A recent photographic experiment to capture the amazing vortex-shapes left by smoke. Light source is a projector and it was shot using a Canon 50mm f1.4 lens. No additional editing was done – or needed, really. 5 images..
