If I were to be honest, there are not that many experimental self generating art projects that really appeal to me, but sometimes it is done so well that I can't help but be impressed. Such is the case with the ultra talented Mr Doob (a.k.a Ricardo Cabello) and his latest project, 'Harmony'. It's a lot of fun - the aesthetic is really quite wonderful also. Love it. Try it yourself here.
The Coney Island Experience was created for the Love Never Dies official site as an interactive playground of funfair games. Love Never Dies is the follow up to the hugely successful Phantom of the Opera written Andrew Lloyd Webber. I have to say that it’s one of the most visually rich sites I’ve worked on so far, and also a lot of fun to design.
To create Coney Island a 3D model was first created and textured. The model consists of over a million faces and 250megs of textures. From this fly though renders were created for each point in the funfair out-putting over 17 Gigs of HD frames.
Each game was firstly visualised in PhotoShop combining 3D renders, photography and hand drawn elements and then put together in flash. Visitors to the site can sign up and save their scores to game and global leader boards.
