My first render using objects modeled with "Structure
Synth". I roughed out these objects on my laptop while
watching my Ian's tennis practice and then imported them into
Lightwave 11 for rendering. It's a cool program and I can think
of some interesting uses for objects such as these...

I really prefer the color scheme of synthestructure 1 (the dark green and rusty red colors). Just wanted to leave that feedback. I wish there to be a multiscreen of that version :) Either way though, it's awesome. |

I thought this was spilling upward towards new forms. Incredible how... |

When I first saw this, I thought the foreground coils were sinking into a background of molten iron. Could be an interesting study in contrasts, or just me seeing too many documentaries. :-) |

I give 9s to pics you produce for which I have no complaint. 10s are reserved for my absolute favourites. All the variations on display here are worth 9. The original is the best imo. |

I stopped the render yesterday after watching it spend 2 whole days grinding at 66% complete. Extremely frustrating! I reset some of the render quality settings and started to render just the remaining 34% (the bottom) but I am rendering this "to disk" (rather than to the screen)to further optimize. So far it seems to be going faster but I don't have any visual feedback to tell if the render quality is on par with what has already been processed. |

Just checking... |

I think Google should make this one of their "Google Doodles" in honor of your amazing work over the years. You can almost see their name in it, I think. Different looking picture. Very creative. Looks nice. |

How does one find flaws in an original piece of abstract art...? |
|||||||
| Ryan |
the watermark in the 2x1080p is in a weird place. it's just a little off center at the bottom of the right-hand screen. |
|||||||

Thanks for your comment. I wish there was a perfect way to stretch these scenes out over 3 monitors. It's hard to do. As for the focus, I could have easily had the whole image in focus but then it would have looked very flat and busy. What other flaws are you seeing? |
|||||||
| Chris J |
I think images using software like this should be rendered at a high resolution like 100000px by 100000px. The tri-screen should be a 5760x1080 crop of a focused part. To me that would look nicer. I see all the flaws in the tri-screen collection and its a plague. |

And there are the pickle jar versions I was hoping for. 8) I'm not sure if my comment had any effect on the outcome, but I like the new fiery/B&W versions. |

It looks like metal shavings of some kind. Well, thats what it reminds me of. Looks good |

Love the way the pic shows up on your site - dislike the wallpaper. If it were crisp and had less noise it would take a lot to get me to change my wallpaper for a while! |

I picked up a poster of Endless Blue. I hope it will be light enough that Zazzle's dark printing process doesn't cause trouble. I hope it helps you get that new workstation! Don't wait specifically for Ivy Bridge-E. The OEMs won't put up with Intel making them requalify their platforms for Ivy this soon after SB-E, so it would be a decent wait despite Ivy cpus coming out now for single-proc desktops. You could save a few bucks by dropping down to a slightly lower speed grade of SB-E. Intel is really charging for the the fastest ones compared to last generation. |

I think I prefer the 2nd version, the fine filigree is sharper /crisper looking. |
|||||||

I hope you didn't abort and discard the tri-screens of V1. I'd love to have one of each. |
|||||||

i like the best, the metal textures are much improved. Though the apparent multi colored metals in the 1st one are cool too. |
|||||||
| Chris |
I like the third one because the coloration and reflections on the metal were smoothed, but I think maybe I like the second one best. Only problem is you didn't post the 1680 x 1050 version of it! |
|||||||

Microscopic metallic flakes. |
|||||||
Ryan |
Here's my final update to "Synthestructure". I've tweaked the metal textures a bit so hopefully they now have a bit more "luster". The multiscreen should follow soon! |
|||||||
| Chuck J |
This reminds me of curled metal shavings after using a metal lathe. Nice! |
|||||||

Very interesting second version; I like it. The metallic theme is certainly stronger. I really like the gold and silver colors. I don't know if I like this one better than version 1; I think I like them both the same but for different reasons. |
|||||||
| Chris |
I like this alot better than the first one. The first one felt crowded and it was a little hard to tell what I was looking at. I also really do like the metallic look. You don't have alot of work like this and I'm always glad to see you trying to take things in a new direction. |

So we have to fill in the comment field to post now...? |
|||||||

As an "organic" abstract, this didn't work. As an artificial or [more] metalic abstract, this works much better. I really like this version. Good job! Chris Spera |
|||||||
Ryan |
A number of you suggested that the first version looked metallic so I ran with that theme for Synthestructure II. I've zoomed in a bit (to better accommodate the future multiscreen version) and inserted some little "filigree" items for contrast. |
|||||||
| Fumigator |
I mean, it's not beautiful, in a traditional sense of the word, but it's certainly interesting and I find myself just looking at all the different details. That's art, man. Really cool. But now-- I'm on to you, Ryan!-- you're in cahoots with Google-- look at those curlies, they spell GOOGLE!! Haha... subliminal but it's there... sorta... anyway this is a fun background to have. I wonder what other color variants might do to/for the piece. |

Heh, just read an article the other day and from the title thought it had something to do with Synthetic DNA (http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2012/04/synthetic-dna-substitute-gets-its-own-enzymes-undergoes-evolution.ars). Sorta looks like it could be a strangely coiled/uncoiled segments of a synthetic DNA. |

I love this one. |

I do not find the wallpaper in the ipad resolution in 1024x1024 as usual. Will you still publish it? Thanks a lot! |
|||||||
| Anton |
I must say, you never cease to amaze Mr. Bliss, just when I think I have you figured out you come up with something completely out of left field and show me that you are still an artist. I absolutely love how your mind works and I hope you continue to entertain and inspire the world with your work! |

Im not sure what the process was in making this picture because im a little confused. What the heck!. but still cool colors. |
|||||||
| RDL |
I have this as my wallpaper, but in gray scale (ctrl+g in Irfanview). It looks more metallic and seems to increase the contrast. I'm looking forward to pickle jar versions. |
|||||||
| Alex H |
I love your abstracts the most. |
|||||||
| Lidia |
This one looks metallic to me. I like it. It's just what I'm in the mood for right now during this end-of-semester rush. The tropical scene will be a good fit for when that is over. |

It makes me think of DNA wrapped around histones and coiled up into chromosomes. A beautiful representation of our hereditary matter. If only I saw that in my Honors Biology textbook thirty years ago, it might have helped me visualize mitosis! I wonder if a physicist would see this as string theory?? |

I knew it was going to happen some day, disappointment. |

If this is I is there a II planned? I don't especially care for abstracts as artworks themselves, but, as a tool for future use, this looks very promising. Personally, I can't wait to see what you can do with the new program. |

reminds me for some reason of earthworn jim, lol. |

Very cool effect, I like the sharpness of the foreground while blurring the background, it gives the image an interesting contrast with itself. |

...coming soon |
