@southernwolf daddy google is not going to notice you
@drwho who knew that the path to world domination all along was free inboxes and a sensationalist hi-speed footage ad back in 2010
@sleep i've done similar and you can get nice results like that! but i'm really wondering how these were originally done, i'm sure it's with some 3d software but id really like to have specifics rather than reverse engineer by sight
i want to find some software that will generate me the curved structures so i can pipe it into something like for example pov-ray for rendering
i don't mean just the material look but also something to generate the structure itself for me, if something like this is only done by hand or there's some random generator out there i can make do curves and stuff for me
@elrido not what i'm looking for, and i don't use software with childish pretext for offensive names
@DeltaWye i already know how to work the blender UI, i'm mostly wondering if there's a generative program that will make the curved shapes, like how there are things such as tree generators for pov-ray. i should've specified that in the main post (replies don't federate with boosts of the main post)
thanks for the tips!

@sol_hsa i got pretty good results forcing the opengl rendering and fullbrite lighting
this was rendered in blender
i rendered the background using apophysis on a modern computer which took just under 2 minutes but everything else was composited in Photoshop 7.0 on a pentium II laptop running Windows 98

Setting aside the whole "we hired a cop because they used a bunch of raspis to do cop stuff, hashtag heart eyes" problem, this whole "it's a lot faster, costs more and you need to worry about cooling now" edition raspi definitely feels like they've lost the plot.
The libre.computer and orangepi people are still doing good work in this space, if that's your jam.
since bandcamp's future is uncertain i'm bringing back blamscamp (by @suricrasia ). it lets you make an in-browser player for your album that you can put on itch.io! it's pretty easy and straightforward to use and works just fine. you can sell music on itch BTW
