Animated ... Sculptures?

Steve K

I have yet to get into Carrara's physics, but Jean Tinguely's kinetic art makes me want to try.  

For some reason this Forum won't let me post a Vimeo link to his work.  If you're interested, try searching "Making Modern | The Art of Jean Tinguely Comes Alive"

Its a short Vimeo video about the works displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH)

Thanks for pointing out that artist @Steve K, it's one of those things I plan on doing once I get better with my 3d printing.

If you start doing things like this in 3d printing I imagine Tinkercad is fairly fairly simple but good.

and Windows 3d Build is neat for cleaning up models (making them water tight)  before you print them.

I've also had a small look at making things with Arduino Arduino - Home - electronics have come a long way since the last time I fiddled.

Domestika aalso has afew courses for making moving objects.

There's also stuff like this you could do in Carrara - see next post

Fascinating.

Indeed.  In that first one he mentions "percussion instruments" (~2:20), and I think it is shown in later clips.  Reminds me of an old fave:

Thanks for the tips and the great kinetic sculpture clips.  I had in mind keeping it virtual, but 3D Printing ... hmmm, so many toys, so little time.

that last phrase - no truer words!!
