3D Murals, Chalk Art, and Metaverses

Art for After Hours bringing the mix of 3D murals, chalk art, and chalk art festival metaverses to clients who want the traditional art and emerging technologies mix in live and virtual events.

Projects by Art for After Hours: From top left, Side by Side comparison of Festival Chalk Art ‘Respect Existence’ with 3D modeling in chalk art environment, the live work on pavement in Baltimore, MD; 3D modeling of several chalk art projects for Second Life metaverse space; Hand painted mural of ‘Everyday Heroes’; 3D chalk art for event at Bridgewater Commons Mall, in Bridgewater NJ.

 

Details of our anamorphic effects that when painted in this way give an illusion of depth for irregular wall layouts.

Introducing our Chalk Art Metaverses for Festivals, Launches, and Events by Anthony Cappetto and Art for After Hours

Still Detail of Chalk Art Space using previously live drawn art, textures to resemble chalk and asphalt.

 

Video clip of the above detail with a simple animation.

 

This post shows some of our work creating chalk art metaverses usable for chalk art festivals in the US and internationally.  Think as a promotion component leading up to, during, or to create for future events.  In the coming weeks, we will be posting possibilities including an enhanced metaverse chalk art experience on our space in Second Life, Mixed Reality experiences using Meta Quest 3, and Horizon Worlds.

Currently upgrading our Second Life space for enhanced textures in line with the imagery above which will shared soon.

2024-25 Projects Combining Live Chalk Art, Painted or Digital Murals with Extended Reality (XR), 3D Modeling and Animation

In 2024, Art for After Hours continued creating project ideas using hand drawn and/or painted murals with different forms of extended reality, 3D modeling, and animation for our work with clients. Our post shows this direction and to watch this year for our new work in mixed reality, metaverse spaces, simulating chalk art festivals, and worlds for launches, festivals, pop-ups, and public art.

 

Close up of our chalk illusions created in Blender 3D as part of our metaverse driven interests with traditional street painting or chalk art. this imagery is from a signature work ‘Visions of Cambodia’ originally 30 feet wide by 40 feet long.

The original art - the portion shown in our 3D modeling detail is at the upper left.

 

Currently, we are presenting our work with metaverse driven spaces based on chalk art festivals as a component to live public projects either as:

  • A teaser item to promote the festivals to wider, tech savvy audiences meant to get their attention; engaging them to come visit and/or participate in live festivals.

  • A component during festivals highlighting a key event or portion of the festival for avatar interactivity to reach wider audiences who cannot physically attend.

  • A legacy item that can be maintained for subsequent years setting stage for future event promotion.

  • All metaverse sites accessible through phones and tablets.

3D Anamorphic WrapAround Mural 'Sweet Strands' CBD Dispensary NYC by Art for After Hours

I’ve spent the past few weeks painting murals for a soon to open CBD dispensary in Queens, NYC. I first painted the first photo mural as a 3D/anamorphic signature mural for the client. She loved it so much, she asked me to come back and paint a wrap around “weed jungle” on the remaining walls, with a large brightly colored bud on one wall. I also painted the exterior facade banner with her logo and products. 


It was a very fun and creative project, with lots of latitude with my designs. However, it was cold, especially painting outside! I finished work on Dec. 23rd. 





Thanks to Wendy for the exterior assistance of moving the scaffolding and keeping me safe on an inclined street. 





I am now working on an animated AR (augmented reality) component using the painted art, which my client is thrilled about and can use in her marketing! 





This client has the brightest and most creative, original CBD dispensary in NYC!

Introducing 'Community' with Chalk and Mural Projects by Art for After Hours

Latest Project: ‘SUBMERGE’ Marine Science Festival at Hudson River Park Pier 84

Art for After Hours worked with the SUBMERGE Marine Science Festival Team to create an interactive experience celebrating the wildlife of the Hudson River at Pier 84 in New York City.

Chalk drawing boards were prepared for young children who learned about local wildlife then drew upon two of the three plywood chalkboards shown.

Anthony Cappetto (pictured) of Art for After Hours created a display piece on the third plywood unit featuring a kestrel perched on a branch, an osprey in flight, and a snapping turtle upon a rock in the river.

Celebrating New York and USA at First Command Private Event in NYC

Had a great evening bringing the excitement of 3D street art murals to the attendees at the 2023 First Command Advisory Conference in New York City!

It was great to bring 3D street art to the attendees of a private event hosted by First Command in Midtown Manhattan.

Onsite, I added some texture to the 3D stone drop for detail and to entertain the attendees…

Watch the excitement with our mural and more…

Chalk Art with Still and Animated Augmented Reality (Live)

Yesterday, Wendy and I went out to one of our favorite testing places for Art for After Hours concepts using 3D street paintings or chalk art with animated models of our creation to see the effects live.

 

This is an extended video showing a number of locations displaying concepts as they progress…

As always, we would like to hear from those who can imagine an installation with hand drawn (or digital printed) art on pavement walls, both for an immersive experience with traditional art and emerging technologies. Contact us with the form below. Thanks.

Wall Mural Designs WIP Using Still Augmented Reality

WIP with murals as pavement and walls as canvas in paint, chalk, still/animated augmented reality…

Pavement sketch using animated 4D augmented reality

 

Digital design with our red rhino - fully code based off our hand drawn painted mural. Translatable to hand drawn pavement art in many variotions and concepts.

 

Starting from a hand painted artwork, concept expanded to present as a two panel anamorphic illusion. Added animated waterfall and figures for the 4D augmented reality effect which allows attendees to interact with the art that can be digitally printed with AR overlaid and viewable through our screen to share with your video social media.

 

Completed Projects Using Hand Drawn Art and 4D Augmented Reality: Festivals, Public Art, Corporate Events

Live example of completed still and animated augmented reality with hand painted and chalk on pavement. 10 x 20 feet completed in three days time.

 

Live Private Event for a Realty Company Launch.

 

Public Art Event in Lewiston, NY

 

We are excited about the possibilities of blending traditional hand drawn and painted illusionary art with 4D still and animated augmented reality to bring a new level of interaction for your events, murals, festivals, and public art.

Tell us about your project and we will be pleased to hear from you.

4D Chalk Art Installations using 3D modeling, Animation with Augmented Reality

Over the winter, we have been working on interesting ways to blend chalk art (streetpainting), 3d modeling, animation, using augmented reality bringing traditional hand drawn or painted art and emerging technologies to our work.

We find these and expanding possibilities exciting as artists and to share with our clients. These are a few of the items we are working with along these lines.

Talk to us for creating a 4D project with hand drawn or digital art for printing, 3D modeling, still and animated scenes using augmented reality for your live/virtual event.

Creating digital installations using our 3D models and digital art as anamorphic illusions on ground and plane surfaces for a total illusion usable on a 3D curved surface at a convention or tradeshow booth.

Ground art can either be hand drawn or realized as digital art on vinyl substrate printed by your desired printer.

Example of hand drawn chalk over painted base coupled with still (art work in back) and animated bees colored in the colors of Ukraine for a special festival project in 2022.
