Having finally signed up to creative cloud, which seems incredibly good value, I started to wander how the artwork Adobe use to promote their products is actually made... Its quite 3D, and looks very slick (see http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4TQFdMFdN40J:www.adobe.com/uk/products/creativesuite.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk)
I am specifically referring to the 3D "Rods" that seem to be bursting out from a point.
Would I be correct in thinking that (ironically) these are not made in any of the creative suite applications? I know PS and AI have basic 3D capability, but these look to be beyond those capabilities to me....
Answer
You can be make this using a 3D app which support (directly or by plugin) populating an object (the rod in this case) onto another object (f.ex a ball object) like a flat surface with a wide-angle camera. There is absolutely no need to use fractals, displacement and so forth.
I setup this scene in about 3 minutes in Vue Infinite just for the sake of demo (further light and camera adjustments ans so forth would make it more identical):
You can download a free version of Vue Pioneer here:
Vue Free version
(I am using Vue 10 Infinite - I am not sure if the free version supports population, you will need to check out the different versions at E-onsoftware)
I am also willing to share the file I used here if anyone is interested.
