Long sobs of autumn violins
The Age of Prompt goes 3D Art
The Blue Man in the High Castle is reborn. Two years have passed. Looking back for a moment shows us what the Blue Man has brought to the world in the past. It was an innovation, it was the start of an era. Words became pictures. A few months later the Book of Genesis was re-coded. Words of the Bible turned to visuals.

There are some, one is “All the Light We Cannot See,” a miniseries on Netflix — despite the negative view by some critics — I see it as a must to watch. It reminds me in a way of Gattaca, which was not a box office success and gained its cult status over time. A Text to 3D prompter will not know such “second” meanings. At least not at this early stage. You will get one or two violins which you can download in various formats, like FBX, OBJ, BLEND — and very important with the texture that will wrap around the object.
I created the above samples with Meshy AI. This software offers the following rendering options: Realistic, Cartoon, Sculpture, Low-Poly and PBR, which stands for Physically Based Rendering and has to do with light projection. As a conceptual artist, I go more for minimal art with low poly…
