Transmuted Structures by Andrew McSweeney 3:19 min.

This piece explores the intersection of organic and artificial creation through digital mediums. Beginning with photogrammetry, I captured the raw essence of physical objects, transforming them into detailed 3D scans. From there, I employed AI to generate a custom Python script, which simulates organic growth patterns within Cinema 4D — a digital echo of natural forms evolving through artificial logic. The final layer emerges through AI-generated synthetic materials and textures, blending hyperrealism with an uncanny, otherworldly aesthetic. Transmuted Structures blurs the boundary between the organic and the digital, questioning the nature of creation in an era of machine intelligence.
