Digital Dreams by Ray Caesar

Ray Caesar  is a visual, surreal artist and digital painter residing in Toronto, Canada. He was born in London, England in 1958, emigrated to Toronto in 1967. Artist creates his dream-like images with a 3D modeling software.

Caesar  works  in  Maya,  using  it  to  create  his  figures  as  well  as  the  virtual  realms  in  which  they  exist.  Through  the  program,  he  builds  digital  models  with  invisible  skeletons  and  anatomical  joints  that  can  be  bent  and  manipulated  to  assume  any  pose.  He  wraps  the  models  in  rich  textures,  adding  hair,  skin,  eyelashes  and  fingernails.  Then  places  them  in  digitally  lit,  impeccably  detailed  3D  environments  built  with  architectural  layers,  windows,  wallpapers,  curtains  and  furnishings.  

Caesar’s  meticulous  process  incorporates  elements  of  drawing,  painting,  collage  and  sculpture,  working  countless  hours  to  achieve  every  remarkably  intricate  tableau.  Further  emphasizing  his  sculptural  technique,  Caesar  compares  his  process  of  2D  printmaking  with  imagery  created  in  3D  as  being  similar  to  the  practice  of  capturing  stills  from  video  and  film. via

Animated Archidirectors Federico Babina

Check out the new website from Federico Babina where the ARCHIDIRECTOR series comes alive! 

The website experiment explores the possibility of creating two-dimensional dioramas that can play, move and carry out a short, virtual performance. Babina has conceived the project as an online theater, where the scenography, music and minimal motion relate to the stories that cycle through the history of film and architecture. ‘In this architectural carousel, illustrations, architecture, music, sounds and animation create a tiny show to make a short trip with the imagination and fantasy through an aesthetic universe inspired by cinema and some of its protagonists,’ Babina says.
