Object Mode vs Edit Mode Most 3D applications operate in two basic states: **Object mode** treats your model as a single entity, while **Edit mode** allows you to access and manipulate the underlying geometry. It's important to be aware of parametric shape types, which are specific to certain applications. This is particularly relevant in software like **Cinema 4D**, where these shapes are controlled via inputs and can be converted into basic meshes.  ## 2. Vertices, Edges, and Faces In Edit mode, you can select individual components. **Vertices** are the points—the corners and control points of your geometry. **Edges** are the lines that connect these vertices. **Polygons** are the flat surfaces enclosed by edges. Most 3D applications allow you to switch between these selection modes seamlessly. Additionally, pay attention to **normals**—the direction in which a polygon is facing, as this affects lighting and rendering.  ## 3. Why Topology Matters The arrangement of vertices, edges, and faces is known as **topology**. When importing models from sculpting or CAD applications, the exported topology may require adjustments. Learning how to **remesh** a model is crucial for compatibility with your 3D software. This is especially important for character modeling, where topology can define facial creases and expressions.  ## Get the 3D Modeling Kit Enhance your workflow with these essential tools: - **Wacom Cintiq Pro 17 – 4K 120Hz Touchscreen Display** - **Wacom Movinkpad Pro 14 – OLED Android tablet** - **Wacom Intuos Pro – 2025 Medium Graphic Drawing Tablet** Sign up for Creative Bloq's daily newsletter to stay updated with the latest news and inspiration from the worlds of art, design, and technology.

Seek out quilts in good condition, without excessive wear or holes, and aim for at least a queen size.” Once you find a quilt that’s a keeper, give it a good dry cleaning to get rid of the “old house” smell. Antique quilts, even common patterns, can sell between $340 and $2,500. “Condition is important, but not always,” Mutter-Rottmayer adds. “One of the most expensive quilts sold went for $264,000.” ## Old Armoires and Curio Cabinets Take a closer look at cabinets and storage furniture. “**Antique armoires**, particularly those made from solid wood and featuring intricate carvings or hand-painted designs, are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers,” Grace says. “Depending on the age, craftsmanship, and condition, a vintage armoire can be valued at $500 to $5,000 or more. I recently scored one on Facebook Marketplace for $1,800 that I’m told is likely from the 1890s.” ## Stained Glass Lamps and Light Fixtures That stained glass reading lamp or pendant could be worth a small fortune, especially if it’s genuine **Tiffany** or made in the Tiffany style—from $5,000 to over $1 million, depending on the design and condition. “Even non-Tiffany-branded but well-crafted replicas or similar lamps from the era can fetch several hundred to several thousand dollars,” Grace explains. ## Oil Paintings “Landscape or equestrian original oil paintings that have been in your grandmother’s living room since you were a kid can sell today for a lot of money,” Houston-based Kyle Dutton of Kyle Dutton Homes says. “For example, a family in Texas was recently about to donate a small landscape painting to Goodwill when they decided at the last minute to have it appraised. Little did they know that the old oil painting that was gifted to their grandmother and hung in her living room for so many years was an original by Julian Onderdonk. It sold shortly after for over $100,000.” Kelly Waters, principal of Studio Waters in San Francisco and Napa, has a similar story. Her grandmother befriended an art dealer from Germany who gave her a painting of a rural scene with cows. Years later, she had it appraised for thousands of dollars. “It doesn’t look like anything special to a modern eye, but the colors are incredible,” Waters says. “It would be a great piece for a space that is expertly layering items from many different eras.” ## Vintage Furniture  In the 1950s and 1960s, many people appreciated handmade furniture and may have pieces by craftsmen such as **Wharton Esherick, George Nakashima, and Isamu Noguchi**. “I would hope Grandma lives in the Philadelphia area, and she bought a pair of Wharton Esherick captain chairs sometime between 1950 and 1959,” says Robert Ogden, principal designer at RTO Lighting and co-owner of Lostine. “Someone could easily walk past a pair of these chairs and not realize they could be worth $60,000.” A grandparent pinching pennies could afford a small George Nakashima stool that now sells for $6,000. If you’re lucky, Grandma bought a Nakashima wall cabinet that today sells for $138,500. Amanda Leigh and Taylor Hahn, principal designers at Los Angeles–based House of Rolison, recommend looking for **midcentury modern furniture** pieces such as low-slung sofas, sleek coffee tables, and iconic armchairs with clean lines. “Pay attention to the wood quality—teak and walnut are especially desirable,” Leigh says. ## Pianos A piano isn’t a rarity, yet specific brands such as **Steinway & Sons, Mason & Hamlin, and Baldwin** are particularly sought after, Grace points out. A well-preserved upright or grand piano can range in value from $1,000 to $20,000 or more, with rare models or those in exceptional condition fetching higher prices. ## Ceramics “People will pay good money for authentic ceramics and stoneware,” Bloch-Neal says. “Jugs are a great place to start: People love these items, and knockoffs just don’t do it.” They sell for $100 to $1,000. Anthony Barzilay-Freund, 1stDibs’ editorial and fine art director, points to a tableware collaboration between Tiffany and Elsa Peretti that produced several collections in the 1960s. One of those jugs is now selling for $2,000. Waters says to look for signatures on ceramic pieces. “My very stylish mother-in-law had incredible taste and just happened to pick up ceramics at the local garden center in Pasadena,” she says. “Turns out that a little garden stool was by the Stan Bitters, which we discovered on a tour of Sam Malouf’s home with the same stools littered amongst his garden.” ## Persian Rugs  The hand-knotted **Persian rug** that’s been in the family for generations might just be a valuable antique. “Authentic Persian rugs, particularly those from renowned regions, can be worth several thousand dollars, depending on their size, age, and condition,” Grace says. “Even smaller, well-preserved rugs can fetch $1,000 to $5,000.” Pay special attention to their hand-craftsmanship and colorways. “Rugs featuring deep reds, royal blues, and golds command higher value due to the rarity and complexity of achieving such vibrant, enduring colors,” Leigh adds. ## Tortoiseshell Boxes Tortoiseshell boxes are worth a lot, says Sheldon Harte, principal of Harte Brownlee & Associates in Irvine, California, who scoured estate sales with his grandma in Pasadena. He once bought a tortoiseshell tea caddy for $20 or $30 that’s now worth $2,800. ## Folk Art The folk art umbrella covers design objects beyond the decorative. “Pieces that fall under **Tramp art** are increasingly coveted with more unique and intricate carved wood pieces selling for thousands,” Mutter-Rottmayer says. “Often with these pieces, the value is in the eye of the beholder, and some pieces may sell for more simply because of their beauty and unique design.” ## Opaline Vases Much like opaline glasses found in your grandma’s kitchen, this style of glass (popular in the Georgian era) can be spotted in the living room space. “Most of the opaline glass you’ll find at the average grandparent’s house is from the mid-20th century, which can still be quite valuable,” Joyner says. “However, if you get lucky and find some 19th-century opaline glass vases, buy them.” ## Brass, Iron, and Other Vintage Hardware  Solid brass is not to be overlooked—check hardware, fireplace sets, and trivets. Real, solid brass holds its value. “Full brass fireplace sets, even from as recent as the 1970s, can go for $500 or more,” Joyner says. Likewise, cast iron door stops from the 1930s, or “whimsical pieces of Americana” as Dutton puts it, can add color and character to any room. And if that’s not your style, they sell for around $1,250 on 1stDibs. ## Posters Old posters from museum exhibitions are pieces of history. “Look for pieces from exhibits featuring artists like Matisse and Ansel Adams,” Bloch-Neal says. “Posters that are **lithographs** are especially valuable as they hold color better and tend to be more collectible. Bonus if the colors are still bright.” Ensure they include details about where and when the exhibition took place, as well as what it was called—and confirm they’re not reproductions. The estimated value of vintage posters is between $500 and $3,500. ## Pre-1990s IKEA Pieces IKEA made a name for itself before it was the go-to for furnishing your first place. The mass production giant has a past you’ll want to hold on to. “Look for items made before 1995,” Bloch-Neal says. “Chairs like the IKEA Cavelli and Singoalla lounge were crafted with solid wood, not MDF, and featured unique fabrics.” Finding pieces with the original fabric is ideal. Any item that embodies IKEA’s core design values—such as clean lines or multifunctionality—is highly desirable. “Vintage IKEA pieces can bring in good money—from $250 to $5,000—wild, I know,” Bloch-Neal adds. ## Murano Glass Vases and Light Fixtures Your family’s globetrotting matriarch may have picked up a few **Murano glass blown pieces**, adding both beauty and a cultural panache to her home. “In the 16th century, Murano glassblowers developed the Aventurine technique, which suspended gold [or other metal] crystals within the glass,” Barzilay-Freund says. These pieces are expensive when bought new and have an exceptional value, upward of $10,000, if you score a vintage piece. ## Dinnerware  Peek inside the buffet. Should you spot blue-and-white dishes, examine them closely. **Flo Blue** (or Flow Blue) ceramic plates were an alternative to the imported, hand-painted Chinese porcelain. These transferware pieces, distinguished by their blurred edges, are highly collectible. Harte says his grandmother bought the plates for $10 apiece; now a set of four sells for $595. If you see botanical patterns, pay attention. A couple of pieces from the Danish company Royal Copenhagen’s **Flora Danica** collection could cover the down payment on a car. “The Flora Danica service is one of the most important produced in the 18th century and remains in production till this day,” Barzilay-Freund says. “It was designed for the royal tables of Europe and has remained a symbol of wealth and taste since its inception.” ## Silver Objects Grandma’s silver may sound like a cliché, but **Art Deco pieces** can be museum-worthy and sell for more than $5,000 each. See if you can tell the manufacturer. The French heritage brand Christofle, for instance, is known as one of the most iconic metalsmiths of the 19th and 20th centuries, Barzilay-Freund says. **Sterling silver containers** can also fetch a hefty price, as do **sculptural objects**. ## Light Sculptures Watch out for 1930s revival lighting. “Anything art deco or Spanish revival is key to catch,” Leigh says. Keep an eye out for midcentury designs such as bamboo-and-paper Noguchi floor lamps or pendants as well. “A very popular piece in the 1960s was an Isamu Noguchi Akari light sculpture, like the Model BB2/20A, which sells for around $20,000,” Ogden adds. ## Mirrors Antique mirrors with ornate frames and original glass are gems. Leigh recommends looking for Baroque, Rococo, and Venetian styles with gilded frames, intricate carvings, or historical provenance as they’re particularly valuable. **Decorative mirrors** were also popular in the 1930s and can look stellar in a color-drenched room.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>vintage</category> <category>antiques</category> <category>interiordesign</category> <category>collectibles</category> <category>midcentury</category> <enclosure url="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/books-and-antiques-arranged-in-shelf-at-home-royalty-free-image-1725030899.jpg?crop=0.829xw:0.620xh;0.0833xw,0.300xh&resize=1200:*" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How This Game Concept Artist Merges Cowboys and Aliens in Historical Settings]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/how-this-game-concept-artist-merges-cowboys-and-aliens-in-historical-settings</link> <guid>how-this-game-concept-artist-merges-cowboys-and-aliens-in-historical-settings</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 18:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *(Image credit: Felix Riaño)* ## Grazing "I had this idea of soil being carved into intricate patterns, brought it to an everyday scene and ran with it.

Katey Goodwin, Art UK’s deputy chief executive, said the charity far exceeded its target of finding 5,000 works, reflecting the explosion of murals in the UK. “It has gone from seeing a few murals here and there to them being everywhere,” she said. ## What We Learned - Adrian Searle stepped down after 30 years as the Guardian’s chief art critic - Italian conceptual prankster Maurizio Cattelan wants you to confess all your sins. - A priceless, stolen 2,500-year-old Romanian gold helmet has been found - Generations of gay artists found themselves on Fire Island - Thieves stole Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse paintings worth millions from an Italian museum - Denby Pottery is calling in the administrators - Dean Sameshima’s photos of ordinary buildings hide incredible tales of queer bacchanalia - Veronica Ryan filled Whitechapel Gallery with sensational seeds and loads of old rubbish - The National Museum of American History is telling stories of Filipino heritage - We remembered church architect Desmond Williams ## Masterpiece of the Week **Au Café, c1875-77, by Edgar Degas**  Photograph: Andrew Norman/© The Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge. The rose-tinted view of 19th-century Paris is that it was a place of energy and hope; a proto-modernist tech-topia where countless artistic and industrial revolutions were happening at once; a city lit by new electric streetlamps in a country bathing in the glow of a sun so bright and beautiful that artists flocked there just to try and capture its light. And then there’s impressionist Edgar Degas and this brutally miserable painting of the sickest looking woman in all of French art history. It’s called Au Café, but there are no signs of cutlery or tableware here, just a woman of the palest, greyest green, trying to make it through another day. Is it alcohol or disease? Are they working or recovering? Is that her friend or are they strangers? Just like in his other sickly cafe painting, L’Absinthe, Degas offers no answers here. This is a blurry, almost monochrome painting, and is probably unfinished, but it’s still amazing. It’s as if Degas spotted the truth of everyday Parisian existence through a window as he walked past, and knew that this was what life was really like. Not sunshine and industrial ambition, just the grim, grey plod of the daily grind.

Over time, these colors were reinterpreted: **green represents the Amazon and Atlantic forests**, **yellow symbolizes gold reserves**, and the blue circle depicts the night sky over Rio. But in a creative twist, Droga5 São Paulo asked: what if these colors vanished? ## The Lifeless Flag Campaign: Phase One Launched during the **COP30 meeting in Belém**, the first phase of the campaign removed the blue and green from the Brazilian flag. This stark design was created for **SOS Oceano**, a coalition of NGOs advocating for the expansion of marine protected areas. The message was clear: **without blue, there is no green**. The oceans are essential for life on land, and their conservation is critical.  *(Image credit: Droga5 São Paulo)* ## Expanding the Message: Phase Two In the second phase, Droga5 São Paulo collaborated with **Black Madre Studio** and **Joules & Joules Laboratory** to produce a series of six unique screen-printed artworks. These pieces use **natural mineral pigments** and draw on Brazilian naturalist iconography, pairing marine and land flora and fauna—from the Amazon Rainforest to the Humpback Whale. The yellow diamond of the flag remains a focal point, highlighting the fusion of colors removed earlier. Diego Limberti, Chief Design Officer at Droga5 São Paulo, explains: "The beginning of this project showed that **design can condense a complex environmental truth into a single, felt symbol**. In this phase, the elements of the flag are reinterpreted to emphasize the animals that live in marine parks and their relationship with the forest. One biome depends on the other." ## The Creative Process and Medium Choice The campaign was developed alongside **WALK**, Droga5's impact innovation hub. **Screen printing** was selected for its chromatic rigor, layered ink application, and deep history in graphic arts, reinforcing the project's narrative. The use of **natural pigments** aligns with the environmental message, avoiding synthetic solvents. André Maciel, Creative Director at Black Madre Studio, notes: "The project is rooted in **color theory**. When we say 'without blue there is no green,' we're working with the fundamental logic of primary and secondary colors." ## Why This Campaign Matters This initiative demonstrates how **design can be a tool for activism**, transforming a national symbol into a call for ocean conservation. It stresses the **interconnectedness of ecosystems** and the urgent need to protect marine environments. By reimagining the Brazilian flag, Droga5 São Paulo has created a visually striking campaign that educates and inspires action.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>designactivism</category> <category>oceanconservation</category> <category>brazilianflag</category> <category>creativedesign</category> <category>environmentaldesign</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Rmb5dT3oBFRPvZQN5uxrLb-2560-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
