Art of Interpretation - Digital Art by Robert J. Tiess

Older 3D Works, Visual Experiments, and Tests



Some of my older and earliest projects, including tests, and other
visual experiments and explorations of ideas in 3D are listed here.

Many of these works (and the even older ones) are predictably basic,
unimpressive, or crude even since they were among my first serious attempts
to learn 3D modeling / lighting / etc. using early versions of Blender.

A number of projects listed below are "Weekend Challenge" works, things created over a weekend for
3D contests at Blender Artists. Some are "speed models." Even older works yet can also be browsed.
