Terry Winters' paintings for Point Cloud Pictures at Matthew Marks Gallery reference data collection methods and patterns from the natural world. The colorful and energetic works leave it up to the viewer to make their own associations.
From the gallery’s press release-
Winters’s work centers on abstraction as a catalyst for exploring the natural world. In his paintings, composition and color give new meaning to a wide range of technical references, which include advanced mathematical principles, musical notation, botany, and chemistry. In the artist’s own words: “I’m taking preexisting imagery and respecifying it through the painting process. Information is torqued with the objective of opening a fictive space or lyrical dimension.”
The title of the exhibition refers to the seven Point Cloud paintings on view, in which overlapping grids of ringed particles create complex, amorphous shapes. Borrowed from the field of three-dimensional modeling, a point cloud refers to a set of data points in space, often used to articulate objects or landscapes in digital models. “The forms can also suggest the collective behavior of animals, such as the murmuration of starlings and the schooling of fish,” Winters says. His paintings build an illusionistic sense of ever-expanding depth, as the varying size, shape, and angle of his painted data points lend a dynamism to his canvases. With the utmost attention to pigment, the paintings are built up in layers of oil, wax, and resin, further eliciting the energetic potential of their compositions.
Created through a parallel process, each painting on paper fills a large sheet from edge to edge. To make these works, Winters chose a paper size called a double elephant, which was first developed in 1826 to accommodate J.J. Audubon’s life-size depictions of birds. As Winters has described, “I’m interested in these givens, working within the parameters of that aspect ratio, and how that affects the building of the work.” Together, the works create a space that is both immediate and imaginary, what Winters has called a “vitalized geometry.”
This exhibition closes 6/29/24.

Point Clouds in Revit for Comprehensive BIM Modeling
Introduction:
In the realm of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the integration of point clouds into Revit has emerged as a game-changer. Point clouds, generated through laser scanning technology, offer a wealth of spatial data that can revolutionize the accuracy and detail of BIM models. In this article, we delve into the transformative potential of point clouds within the Revit environment, exploring how they enhance the comprehensiveness of BIM modeling.
Understanding Point Clouds:
Point clouds represent a collection of data points in three-dimensional space, capturing the precise geometry and spatial characteristics of physical environments. These data sets are generated through laser scanning devices, which emit laser beams to measure distances and record millions of points within a scene. The result is a highly detailed representation of real-world structures, encompassing everything from intricate architectural features to subtle surface irregularities.
Point clouds serve as digital replicas of physical spaces, offering an immersive and detailed view of real-world environments. Generated by advanced laser scanning devices, these data sets consist of millions of individual points, each representing a specific location in three-dimensional space. Laser scanners emit laser beams that bounce off surfaces within a scene, measuring distances and capturing the spatial coordinates of points in the process.
Integration with Revit:
Revit, renowned for its prowess in BIM modeling, provides a robust platform for integrating point clouds seamlessly into the design process. By importing point cloud data directly into Revit, architects, engineers, and construction professionals gain access to a wealth of information that serves as a foundation for their BIM models.
This integration bridges the gap between the physical and digital realms, allowing for unparalleled accuracy and fidelity in virtual representations of built environments. The integration of point clouds with Revit, a premier software in Building Information Modeling (BIM), marks a significant advancement in the construction industry's digital transformation. Revit's capabilities extend far beyond traditional CAD software, offering a comprehensive platform that facilitates the creation, analysis, and documentation of building designs. With the ability to directly import point cloud data, Revit empowers architects, engineers, and construction professionals to leverage the wealth of information captured through 3D laser scanning technologies.
Enhancing Accuracy and Precision:
One of the primary advantages of incorporating point clouds into Revit is the enhancement of modeling accuracy and precision. Traditional methods of manual measurement and documentation often fall short in capturing the intricacies of complex structures. Point clouds, on the other hand, offer a level of detail that surpasses conventional techniques, enabling designers to create BIM models that closely mirror reality. From as-built documentation to renovation projects, the use of point clouds ensures that BIM models accurately reflect existing conditions, minimizing errors and discrepancies throughout the design and construction process.
Facilitating As-Built Documentation:
In retrofit and renovation projects, accurate as-built documentation is essential for informed decision-making and seamless execution. Point clouds provide a comprehensive record of existing structures, allowing designers to capture precise measurements and dimensions with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. By importing point cloud data into Revit, stakeholders can create as-built BIM models that serve as a reliable reference throughout the project lifecycle. This streamlined approach not only accelerates the documentation process but also mitigates the risks associated with inaccuracies and discrepancies in existing conditions.
Visualizing Complex Environments:
The visualization capabilities of point clouds within Revit are unparalleled, offering designers the ability to immerse themselves in highly detailed 3D representations of physical spaces. Whether analyzing existing structures or conceptualizing new designs, the integration of point clouds provides invaluable insights into spatial relationships, material properties, and architectural nuances. By overlaying point cloud data onto BIM models, designers can make informed decisions regarding spatial layout, clash detection, and design optimization, thereby improving the overall quality and efficiency of the design process.
Streamlining Collaborative Workflows:
Effective collaboration lies at the heart of successful BIM projects, and point clouds play a pivotal role in facilitating communication and coordination among project stakeholders. By centralizing point cloud data within the Revit environment, multidisciplinary teams can work collaboratively on a unified platform, ensuring that everyone has access to the most up-to-date information. This integrated approach fosters greater transparency, reduces rework, and enhances the overall efficiency of project delivery.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Rvtcad the integration of point clouds into Revit represents a significant advancement in the field of BIM modeling. By harnessing the power of laser scanning technology, designers can create comprehensive and highly accurate virtual representations of built environments. From enhancing accuracy and precision to facilitating collaborative workflows, point clouds offer a multitude of benefits that elevate the quality and efficiency of BIM projects. As technology continues to evolve, the synergy between point clouds and Revit is poised to reshape the future of architectural design and construction.

MDZS AU where Jiang Cheng realizes that Lan Sizhui is the Wen orphan that Wei Wuxian took care off during the Burial Mounds arc, decides that's close enough to qualify him as Nephew, declares that no Nephew of His (much less a surrogate son of Wei Wuxian's) is going to be raised in the Cloud Recedes, and immediately launches into a custody battle with Lan Wangji.
But since neither Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji can acknowledge that Sizuhi has any connection to Wei Wuxian, both begin steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that he is a Cultivator of peerless potential and skill and he belongs in their sect thank you very much, and would clearly be very unhappy in the other's. This confuses the hell out of the already mystified Cultivation world, who had barely adjusted yet to gossiping about Sizhui being Wangji's illegitimate child by mysterious love affair.
(Eventually the common consensus in the rumor mills is that both JC and LW where in love with Sizhui's mother and both believe themselves to be Sizhui's real father.)
(LW couldn't care less what gossips say, but JC has to bite his tongue till it bleeds to avoid telling anyone the truth in a fit of anger.)
(It was Nie Huaisang who put that rumor out in the first place, partly to troll JC, partly because, in a way, it's a little true.)
#MDZS#mo dao zu shi#the grandmaster of demonic cultivation#the untamed#Jiang Cheng#lan wangji#lan sizhui#wei wuxian#Wangxian#nie huaisang#mdzs shitposting hour#thoughts that come to me in line for take out#in the end they settle on joint custody#half the year in the cloud receces half the year at lotus pier#but not after first re-litigating every point of contention in the 'wei wuxian should have come with ME' argument#poor sizhui is just confused and a little overwhelmed by the whole thing#being assigned nephew by Jiang Cheng is an honor and a horror at the same time#just ask Jin Ling#also he dosen't feel worthy of all this attention#but in a weird reverse self fulfilling prophecy sort of way#with both LW and JC to train him#he does end up one of the best cultivators of his generation#then WWX comes back and complicates things EVEN FURTHER#but somehow LS's joint custody situation is enough to prompt a Jiang Sibling reconciliation#and eventually LW begrudgingly agrees to live a few months out of the year at Lotus Pier#everyone is happy but the family dinners at first at awkwarddddddd

sorry i'm still just so hung up on the fact that captive prince is portrayed by the general public as a series that glorifies slavery and sexual assault (aka the pinnacle of no consent) when in actuality the core theme is that the most important thing you can give someone else is their freedom and their agency and their ability to consent. like even though laurent has all this power over damen at the start of the series, even though he abuses that power a handful of times, ultimately those two spend the entire series figuring out how to best serve the other in order to overcome the violence that was done to and by each of them - not because they're in a master/slave relationship, but simply because they care about the other person and they know that neither of them was allowed the consent they deserved in previous relationships and situations!!! and at the end of all of it, they accept not only that they have been hurt by lack of consent but they acknowledge that they have been abusers in their own ways, perpetuating a system that is harmful and cruel, and when they join together to create a new kingdom they make a point to put an end to the slavery that brought them together in the first place!!!!!!! what the fuck!!!!
#ignore me i'm just yelling at the clouds#it's sick and twisted that the bookish community misconstrues the point of this series sooooo hard just bc it has mature content in it#captive prince#c s pacat#cp#capri#cs pacat#mine

so like a really long time ago i saw this video of anne rice talking about vampire creativity and she basically said that vampires can't make anything artistically valid, that that type of creativity is reserved for human beings and this ep really made me think about that bc these vampires really want to make things but then they get frustrated when what they make isn't good and they can't find what they're looking for in their work but what's missing is the humanity. louis can see things that human beings can't bc of his vampiric abilities but that doesn't automatically give him a leg up irt making art, his work is more documentation than capturing singular moments. and he's frustrated that he can't connect w his subjects and it furthers his feelings of alienation from humanity bc why can't he just do it? why can't he convey the things he's trying to w his photos? and then he covets human work bc the spark required to make it is unavailable to him
#and then when he's doing his art critique in his room the points made are purely technical (the lens is dirty the cloud cover etc.)#but you can take a blurry dirty photo and still convey deep emotion through it but louis' lost the ability to make art bc he's a vampire#sorry to invoke a.r. but it was relevant#vampterview#iwtv spoilers

MCYT BLOGS: PLEASE READ
hi :) TL:DR please stop posting mcyt content in the #minecraft and the #mineblr tags.
long explanation under the cut
#minecraft and #mineblr are for minecraft content. this is anything from modded, to builds, to OCs, to art. it's about the game at its core.
if you post about minecraft content creation, please do not post in these tags. please. you have your own selection of tags to post in — mcyt i believe is an umbrella category for all minecraft content creation, and sub tags, like creator names and actual SMPs exist also.
they are, at the end of the day, two different fandoms with different sub-fandoms, and mcyt is bigger and louder and (sorry) more annoying. if you're a twitter/reddit refugee and genuinely didn't know this, fair! please just cut the tags out. if you just don't care about it and want more reach you're a dick, and if it's something you've forgotten about then please start doing it again <3
i realise it's maybe hypocritical of me to put this in your tags btw but it's you guys i'm talking to. so.
this is what drove me and many other people out of mineblr and y'know. it's got to the point where minecraft is no longer an umbrella tag, but a completely different fandom, and i'd appreciate if people would treat it as such!
and then there's the even deeper rabbit hole of the fact that some mcyt content is. eh. uncomfortable. and there's people who post shipping content in mcyt and you guys get annoyed! because it's completely different content! and it's the same thing here — we don't care about mcyt because it's not relevant.
keep them separate, please. and if you're posting to minecraft because it's a big tag with more exposure then your brain has been fried by twitter and you sound insufferable
#i've got to the point where i get Very close to asking the ops of posts to remove their minecraft and mineblr tags#but i feel like that would be too targeted/mean and i kind of want to make some noise abt it first#<- based on that if you're similarly bothered by this it might be worth making a post of your own abt this#so i don't look like one crotchety old woman yelling at clouds lol#mcyt#qsmp#qsmpblr#minecraft youtube#mcyters#dsmp#qsmp live#dsmp live#<- the main culprits generally#minecraft
