Generative surface design

The last few days I was playing around with generative surface design, e.g. mesh surfaces that can be described with mathematical formulas following certain parameters. Okay, sounds boring but it’s far from that. It’s mathematics condensed into form (sounds much better).

Anyway, after modeling such a surface I put it through its paces and finally it became a substantial part of this latest concept painting. Inclusive the modeling and everything it was a 4 hours job, something that wouldn’t have been possible without the intricate detail and variety I got from the initial mesh.

Math is not just numbers.
