So, last night, I saw someone had used a 3D model of a water slide in a Sophie-related context (not any new content though, don't worry, just a static video of one of the Boiler Room recordings) and it looked very very convincing; so I did some searching (where were we before Google's backwards search feature) and I found the following collection: www.evermotion.org/modelshop/show_product/water-slide-02-am94/5830/0/0/0I'm referring to the "other items" beneath the image. You'll also note that several of these appeared as early Sophie art already. I am very confused and intrigued, but I would guess that these are the models that Sophie and his team bought and refined for their cover art. (Note that I am not trying to "expose" this process at all, it's perfectly fair, just interesting.) Now you could make guesses as to what's next, or make your own bootleg album art??? |

There's a really interesting interview with Remote / Adam Rogers from a while ago on the Crack magazine website about his work with Numbers and Sophie. Really interested in the sound toys he talks about working on with Sophie, I wonder if that's still happening. crackmagazine.net/art/remote/What do you mean by sound toys?SOPHIE is really interested in how his sounds are created, and has very specific ideas about how his music is represented visually. Is it hard? Is it metallic? Is it rubbery? Is it cute? So we’re creating a series of interactive online visuals which represent the concept and sounds surrounding each track. Something for users to play in the browser which conveys the essence of each track’s characteristics. We’re also following the same approach for the covers.p.s. he also mentions 'forthcoming album campaigns for SOPHIE' but think I read in another thread that an album isn't happening? |

Couldn't you view this as a similar mindset of what Rustie did with his Minecraft-y Green Language Game? Or Hemsworth/Secret Songs/Leno dropped today with their in-browser halo-y game |

just in case any of you know how to work with .max files, cause I don't here are the .max files from SOPHIE's artworks www56.zippyshare.com/v/KDPLTx44/file.htmlif you know how to properly work with it, this could give us SOPHIE's artworks in a image file of 4000/6000px, best quality available there's also the textures files and shit, but don't know if that is necessary |

BTW I have very little idea how to actually use this software but this might give me an excuse to finally learn it. |

AFAIK 3ds Max is the only program that can open these files, and it's expensive modeling software geared towards 3D industry professionals. But since I pirated it, I can use it to export the models to more friendly file types, like .fbx or .obj. Then they can be opened in free software like blender or whatever. |

You can do pretty much anything with these files like change the colors of the materials, load completely different materials, or even change the geometry of the models themselves. But recreating the cover art 1:1 would be virtually impossible because you'd also have to somehow recreate the exact render settings that SOPHIE used, including the camera angle and stuff like that. Anyway here's a quick attempt I made at rendering the BIPP slide using some VERY SHINY metal materials. I made this in a software called Daz Studio.  |

An album would be amazing though. w/r/t the original article there may be miscommunication; they could just be doing work on how the new singles might be presented
