These chairs are in the midst of a detailed deterioration! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam G is a texture artist: proficient in adding texture to virtual AND real items via computer magic in the entertainment industry known as Special Effects. It&#8217;s one thing to notice the amazing realism of what texture artists can do, but it&#8217;s MORE common that you never notice a thing because it has the appearance of being so real. It&#8217;s an unsung hero kind of job, where some of the best renders you&#8217;ve ever done are what sneaks right by a viewer&#8217;s nose! Audiences have barely an inkling of just how much effort goes into building the worlds we see on film and television. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This piece in particular shows the careful consideration and thought goes into the required level of quality verisimilitude at work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, this visual meditation on furniture, mortality, and the passing of time is a great reminder that inescapable impermanence for all of us is <em>fact<\/em>. Make hay while the sun shines, time&#8217;s a wastin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for sharing your skills with us, Sam!
