Beta Section & the pixels of the apocalypse [Building blocks - Kit of Parts - Retail it Yourself!]

The first one on the right is the guy that started it all (not the guy, the form). If you've been following along, you'll remember how I manipulated that form to fit within uses in a diagrammatical 3-D model. Within the past few days I split the original into parts and changed the parts into their own basic "pixel" form. As previously mentioned and shown, the parts have been used to create walls, fixtures, floors, structural elements, and soon to be ceiling elements. The idea I'm leaning towards is that each particular area will carry a different combination of visually solid [concrete, plastic, metal] and translucent [plastic, glass] materials. The surfaces all seem to have a perceived texture in that their appears to be level change on the varying planes when in fact (in some cases, not all) the change is only visual. Where a visually solid material ends and appears to drop off, a translucent material begins. Stay tuned, more to come today...

This section is beautiful....3d-Cad?
Are you going to apply materials and lighting and render?
I look forward to seeing the items for sale in place and some people using these stations.
Hey....when are we moving those frigging palettes?
