I used to work for Chuck Close as a studio assistant many years ago. I recently met him again at a book signing for his new book of daguerreotype photos. He is an amazing artist and inspiring man. I've tried to reproduce his self portrait photograph in 3d.
I used Maya and Mental Ray. All textures hand painted. I've attempted to duplicate in the render the billion foot-candles of illumination Close uses to light his subjects for the daguerreotypes.
Close's book of daguerreotypes can be found at; http://www.aperture.org/store/books-detail.aspx?ID=508]]> Sat, 18 Nov 2006 22:56:41 +0000 http://glenn23.cgsociety.org/gallery/334468

“To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour”
William Blake

I've been away from 2d for so long I thought it would be fun to redo an idea I did as an airbrush illustration years ago.]]> Tue, 01 Aug 2006 18:47:26 +0000 http://glenn23.cgsociety.org/gallery/385123
