My LED Sculpture Gamble: Artistic Genius or Tacky Disaster?

[@danielbeaumont3744]

This is not tacky at all! It might not be for everyone but I think it's gorgeous

[@ryanjones7319]

5:19 the color selection here, coupled with the scale pattern reminds me so much of a book from my childhood, The Rainbow Fish.

[@woomperscoomper6540]

OMG YES I ALSO TOUGHT OF THAT

[@paxsevenfour]

That’s one of the most beautiful LED sculptures I’ve ever seen! Love the petal arrangement. It really scratches my math nerd and programming itches at the same time lol

[@JustReadingwithJazzy]

I can’t handle how BEAUTIFUL this piece is! I wish I had enough money to buy 50 and hang them on a wall as a full accent wall and just stare at all the colors flowing through the satisfying design😍

[@bikizuzu2]

This is absolutely stellar -- far from tacky! (You know what would TRULY be tacky, though? Having your design stolen and reproduced for cheap by the likes of Temu, Shein, Ali Express, etc. It happens to independent artists all the time, and I absolutely hate it.) Keep up the amazing work! ❤

[@Mandy7D7]

I saw the short as well with the other lighting effects and I love it, love it, it's absolutely beautiful.

[@magatsu82]

This is super cool! I think the tackiness actually comes from the colors you chose to display, if you do a spiraling rainbow effect in something that is supposed to be a piece of art/decoration is going to look very very tacky. Go with colors that complement the design of the room, tone them down, use just a couple of colors, maybe 2 or 3 different shades of the same color

[@HerschelShapiro]

I agree, a very slow barely noticeable color shift emanating from the center is my favorite pattern, but this is not well conveyed in video so i used faster more dynamic patterns.

[@stefanturcanu9263]

I agree with this as well. It needs to gently blend with the room. It would be so much more interesting to have it integrated with something like homeassistant to display sun position/hue. Perhaps a sculputure in itself shaped as such. Or display time via a voice assistant command and room presence. Or use it as a countdown to wind down. The form and beauty is there, function can be added.

[@ZombieKilla96]

Wow, this is a gorgeous new piece of yours! Funnily enough, your previous work really inspired me to make a similar design piece using LEDs; I opted to put them inside of the 3D parts instead, but the result still turned out really nice :) Mine is called Lotus

[@HealthCreators]

4 minutes ago!!! It is a privilege to be so early - this is absolutely stunning, and thank you for including your moments of frustration to show how the end result is that much more rewarding. Another beautiful piece.

[@HerschelShapiro]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!

[@AbandonBuildingRecords]

Brother, that’s entirely beautiful and in no way tacky! Thanks for the video! Seems people would be into owning something like that for sure!

[@Jacobrosstech]

If I had one of these it would be one of my prized possessions ❤ this is awesome 5:50

[@bhamjoe]

I absolutely LOVE this, I’m all about colorful art, so this makes me so happy. I could happily sit back and watch this all day!

[@SaddamHussain-we9ec]

I’ve seen many videos of yours, used to just give thumbs up 👍 even before watching but I feel every single video of yours is a masterpiece.

[@DesignitBuilditRepairit]

The light work in this LED sculpture is incredible! Awesome job

[@Rei_does_a_thing]

Great workaround! I'd probably add a mirror to the center so it'd still look like wall art even without being on.

[@angelabasagoitialindsay7222]

Wow this is such a mesmerizing and absolutely beautiful piece of art💙 thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us

[@viktormyslikovjan5938]

I think you open next lvl with your art🎉

[@kellyjean4981]

Wait, I need to pick up my jaw! That is stunning, mesmerizing, magical. I am truly in awe of the creativity, time, effort and detail that you put in to your art. I also enjoyed watching the process of you making the aluminum frame/base Thank you for sharing

[@TheRealStructurer]

I like it 👍🏻 I’m sure some patterns would look horrible, but others would look lovely. Like how you presented the progress and how things can be done with quite simple tools. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@tatelee3003]

My only suggestion could be use the original idea but make the backside part of the shells with a mirror like reflective material to bounce and reflect the led light more evenly throughout the front area of the shell

[@Jim_One-wl4ke]

That’s a lot of work not just the design. It’s magnificent. love it …… thanks for sharing❤

[@pHuzi0n]

From experience, it probably looks a lot more harsh IRL than on video. I would suggest coming up with some way to have a thin PETG diffuser to hide the harsh point light from the bulbs when looking at it anywhere that isn't perfectly head on.

[@HerschelShapiro]

Not really that much, these lights are just 5mm pixels, very much like Christmas lights. Also only like 10-20% of the lights are ever directly visible from any angle.

[@AndreaMerchak]

I admire your patience. It's fabulous! ❤

[@ZellerhausArt]

This is amazing man. I love the pattern and thought behind it. I used LEDs extensively for a massive 10x20ft art installation behind paintings that danced to light. No programming, just sound response. Would love to do more arduino in the future.

[@JessicasCreativeSpot]

This is so pretty! What a wonderful idea, and beautifully executed.

[@WallyMahar]

If you do more of this really go into the study of light and eye perception and what LEDs can actually reproduce as far as color. The amount allotted to each rainbow section and the gradation between each would be really much different if you actually wanted them all to be appear equally spaced part. No criticism, just asking for a new video somewhere down the road (you’ve got plenty of time right? Lol) where are you delve into this topic when working with your software. I hope you try more manipulation of light into your artworks. Your sculpture is magnificent!.

[@jean-baptiste9230]

Amazing, many skills coming together, I hope you can dim down the led as it would be quite aggressive in a home .

[@DCSHacks]

You are a ridiculously talented Artist! Love the marriage of Art, 3D printing, Parametrics and Fibonacci. You're pushing the limits and I love it! Gonna check my parametric collection to see if there are any other avenues to explore! Maybe kinetic sculptures?

[@kanderson140]

I'm going with Artistic Genius! It's beautiful! 😍

[@xanthonyjamesx]

This is honestly one the most beautiful pieces of modern art wow 💯

[@CreativeStarlightCurves]

I absolutely love the structure and lighting only adds to the beautiful art! I’ve started working on lighting some of my models as well and have not wanted to brave the programmable types. I do use some RGBIC strips and fairy lights but not pixels.

[@pesimist3]

Dude, I really congratulate you. Good thing there are people like you, you did an excellent job. It is really an extraordinary product. You deserve all the accolades. Congratulations 🎊👍

[@b-sides]

Stunning!!! Congratulations! I wish I could buy one of these

[@heatherjensen4003]

I think it is gorgeous! My design suggestion is a herd of running horse horses. Or horses running through water no 0😊

[@aznzensation]

You do beautiful work Herschel

[@hutchinsonjames]

Another beautiful work. Artistic Genius!

[@theblackswan84]

just found your channel...i hope you will continue to release content about your art (hopefully longer and detailed)! you created a very very good piece, i understand why you had worries about the possibility of a tacky result, i had some too...but the result was the opposite! so neat and elegant! (sorry for my broken english

[@StepDub]

Don’t concern yourself with other people’s opinions. Looks great and it’s unique.

[@EJTechandDIY]

Wow that is just amazing. Please make more longer videos like this one.

[@Mjzen528]

This is a phenomenal piece of art. Amazing. ❤

[@hopper131]

Bravo. This is very the definition of the unity between mathematics and art. The illuminated petal/waveform pieces are brilliant examples of logarithmic perfection. Is it possible to make a similar piece mimicking cymatics?

[@MrLexhoya]

It may not be for everyone, but you have my vote for beautiful.

[@Jushwa]

What a stunning creation, absolutely beautiful!

[@dennishines9996]

Simply Amazing

[@alexanderross2943]

Love how you realize that this is a pivoting point in your artwork!

[@cutback443]

Centripetal vs. centrifugal. This is a DOPE example of the top down (or bottom up) view of THE VORTEX! (The "shape" of ALL things!)

[@NightmareFuelsYou]

:)

[@BrooksMoses]

Centrifugal petals?

[@LotharKrupka]

Impressive and very nice! Thank you for doing this, I've long dreamed about doing something similar. May we know what type of addressable LEDs did you use? I've never seen them on wires like you have them... Thank you, and can't wait what comes out next from you :)

[@finpark7785]

That was legitimately amazing... Please post move video of this.

[@thespencerowen]

Wow. Have you considered sharing the code? I’d love to see how you did it

[@untoldentity]

awesome sculpture!! one thing i noticed is that the 3d printed pedals have a slightly bumpy surface, which happened to me a while back maybe try tightening the belts on your 3d printer to fix it (thats what worked for me) seriously awesome work keep it up :)

[@anthonynonya]

That is freaking AWESOME!

[@carlamariepierce7512]

Brilliant AND Beautiful!! I would have to be physically removed from watching it😜 Seriously though...i would. Its therapeutic. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations and the mind-blowing process❤️‍🔥

Incredible work bud!

[@Stevo1361]

That is stunning. Well done.

[@jolandanvt2379]

This is absolutely beautiful 😮

[@gitgyan5202]

Can please share the details of RGB led, controller and library used for this project

[@HerschelShapiro]

I used the ESP32 with NeoPixelBus because it works a little better than FastLED on the ESP32

[@gitgyan5202]

@@HerschelShapiro Thank you

[@oguzkaancomoglu]

You are doing truly extraordinary work. We cant wait too what is next :))), A little information, I have not seen long-lasting LED lamps and their repairs are really troublesome.

[@HerschelShapiro]

I saw your sculpture, its really cool!

[@theawesomer]

I think it looks fantastic. Great work!

[@coquigirl0789]

I would easily pay 10k for this (if I had the means of course). This is stunning!🤩

[@jackalina91]

I love it! The part saying “print a few @ a time”especially 😂 But seriously it’s beautiful! ❤❤❤✌️

[@JustAlb1n]

Love it, if you don’t mind me asking how do you make these patterns ?

[@LeHoax]

The result looks insane.

[@RobertSalamun]

I would definitely buy one I have a led controller some 10mm led pixel strings, will obviously need to purchase more to complete project. So my question is could I get 10mm holes drilled in the metal frame? Before I’d purchase.

[@klankowski]

did you utilize xlights, or Lightorama software?

[@cforms]

Really awesome ❤ how do you control your leds, with wled?

[@HerrIONut]

Everything you do, all the work you put in is well worth the money, I greatly appreciate what you do, I have followed your works of art, that's how I consider them and I think the only problem I have at the moment is that I can't afford to buy one! Possible in the future! I hope... I just subscribed! Best thoughts, Ionut❤

[@LotharKrupka]

@HerschelShapiro Very-very nice! Are these ws2811 LEDs? where did you find them? Thanks!

[@bololo47350]

Very good job. What is the reference of your led cable? And what software do you use to manage the various LEDs?

[@suntzu6122]

0% tacky. 100% INCREDIBLE! Subbed. DAMN that looks amazing. I do have a question for you: How are the LEDs assigned color? Using a simple shape like a square of LEDs or w/e would be fairly easy but the spiral seems difficult unless Im missing something? Can you label each 'dot' in your LED matrix?

[@lambda_calc]

Looks awesome, great work!

[@HugoBelin]

Great design, what did you use to control the lights?

[@tiffanysmith7419]

Love this. I'm curious what computer program you are using to do the lights.

[@Cait.C8]

Very cool! I've been watching your content for a while and this is a fabulous evolution of your work. How did you transfer your printed design to the back so seamlessly at 1:58 and 2:15? The finished piece is gorgeous!

[@HerschelShapiro]

I used black and white transfer papers to create the markings.
