Model tsunami wallpaper artwork with BRL-CADBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete:
100 hrs
Mentors: Isaac Kamga, Dishank
This background is pretty cool:
http://www.wall321.com/Abstract/Waves/abstract_waves_tsunami_block_3d_124854
But it was not made with BRL-CAD.
Create a 3D model that is inspired by that design. You don't have to create as polished a rendering as that artwork, but your model should similarly consist of individual elements that are near each other but not actually touching. We're looking for just the 3D geometry itself.
It might help to create a hyp ( http://brlcad.org/gallery/renderings/primitives/hyp ), then create arb5s on the surface, join them into a group without the hyp, and then undraw the hyp.
Submit your work as a BRL-CAD .g geometry database file along with a quick rendered preview of what it looks like (png format).

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Vladimir Kuznetsov. You have 100 hours to complete this task, good luck!
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Vladimir, nice effort but :
- it doesn't really look like a tsunami, more like a flat section of water, you should curb them to some angle
- the blocks are too large and too few, perhaps making more blocks will make it look better
-they don't necessarily have to have the same color, you could use different colors to reflect depth, or any other method you have in mind.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Andrei

Vladimir, this second version is looking like am improvement, but I think a few changes will make it even better. First off, the angles between the cells are too great. Notice in the referenced image that they are very subtle. Second, notice that they're pretty square shaped. This helps create a sense of regularity to the wave, less mechanical. Finally, notice that the relative raising and lowering of the cells is just a little more dramatic than in your version. That adds to the shadowing and ability to distinguish each of the neighboring cells.
Would you describe in detail how you modeled this and give it one more try to address at least one of those three points (or all three)?

Firstly, i've created a lot of arb5s. Then, placed them in a 4x7 rectangle. Copied the rectangle twice. These rectangles were linked together, so change of one element would take effect on the other two (that's why you can see some sort of sequence in the tsunami). Then, i just rotated and moved the arb5s so they would make a wave. After this, i translated some of them higher or lower.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
Not quite the quality of the image referenced but you get a pass for pretty solid effort. This is a pretty tricky task to do without scripting. Thanks!
