3D Max, Photoshop

I was a member of a much larger team tasked with designing and producing the U.S. Army’s exhibit for the AUSA Convention in Washington D.C. My role on the team was to create and adjust conceptual renderings of the exhibit based on feedback from several different companies and organizations.

Additional information can be found on the Army Exhibit Home Page.

I created this simple little color converter using JavaScript. It's main purpose is to convert numbers to a 0-1 scale, as that is what 3D Max uses, while Photoshop uses a 0-255 scale. I can't do the math in my head, so I force my computer slave to do it for me. Hope it is useful to you too...

I just discovered this fellow through a bookmark over at vi.sualize.us. Interesting and nonsensical watercolors that work well enough by themselves, but when you add the captions he comes up for them, you can’t help but chortle.

Artwork by Marc Johns.

From his profile:

Marc Johns creates whimsical drawings filled with dry wit and humour. Whether it’s a man with branches growing out of his head that need pruning, or a pipe that’s trying to quit smoking, his characters are simply, sparsely drawn, yet speak volumes with just a few strokes of the pen. He’s been drawing since he was tiny. He’s not tiny anymore, but he’s not exactly big either. Marc is not sure why he’s talking about himself in the third person…

I generally aim to say as much as possible with as few elements as possible. My work often leans toward humour. Finding the humour in things often leads to finding the truth.

I like to create absurd situations, by combining things together that don’t belong, or imagine what inanimate objects would say if they could speak. For instance, the pen I am using to write this draft would probably say: “I’m tired. Can we stop for a bit?” Or perhaps it would say: “I can’t believe you’re making me write this. This is rubbish. Signing cheques would be more inspiring than this.” These are the things I think about. I think about alot of things. I think about thinking. Don’t try it though, it’s not worth it.

I use watercolours in ways you shouldn’t. I make my own sketchbooks. If I smoked, I’d roll my own. I’d rather draw than rent a movie. Don’t try to start a conversation with me about recent films. I haven’t seen any. I play the guitar. If I was a hobo, I’d learn to play the ukulele, because you could fit one in your duffle bag. My artwork and the materials I use are quite compact. You could fit my studio in a large suitcase. I hope you like my drawings, or at least some of them.

The International Mission Board is a missionary agency affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Baptist group in the world. The 2008 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting was held June 10-11 in Indianapolis, IN.

My role in the project was to create the images that would appear on the 4 S/wall displays, 3 concave wall displays, 3 triangular bookcase-columns, and the central 4-sided tower. Additionaly, I created conceptual renderings of the exhibit to help arrange the elements and direct the traffic flow throw the booth.
