As long as we acknowledge that we only glimpse reality, it is not too bad staying in the illusion.
No, it's not too bad... we don't really mind living the illusion. Tick - tock, the time is running, in a world of created linearity, where man, an insignificant and perishable parenthesis in the universe, is letting his short existence be governed by mechanical devises. Sure, it's all a game, and we know it, but yet; we have given ourselves no other options than to play along - we can't escape the illusion – so we call it democracy, and keep on playing. And the rich get richer, and the poor get nothing. After all, it's just a matter of choosing the right parents when you're born.
We have chosen to live on top of the world. Lucky for us.
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
around you have grown
And accept it that soon
you'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
is worth savin,
then you better start swimmin'
or you'll sink like a stone,
for the times they are a-changin'.
How is that for quasi...bar talk?
Perfect!
This is far from perfect, but I think it's the best I can do:
And it really doesn't take long to render:
This time rendered on an iMAC quad-core i5.
Here is the project file ( not zipped):
Lampetter-6.sh3d
And here is the model (only 231 kb, – and that IS small.. or?):
Lampette-01.3ds
The model is based on a photograph of my grandmothers lampette.
Have a nice weekend.
