Lots of shadows definitely improve the render quality in Photoshop
This is 3D generative art created with the Structure Synth program

Rendered in Photoshop CS4 using a Collada/DAE model downloaded from 3DVIA.com
A Structure Synth creation.
Exported as object to Blender, beveled the edges of the pillars, applied materials and rendered with cycles
When I first looked at the voice circuits on the front, I thought there were lots of resistors and capacitors missing. So I took the board out and surely enough, it's a double-sided load. A crap load of really tiny (0201 or so) resistors and capacitors, plus some diodes and transistors.
My girlfriend's sister created this synth cake for my birthday. Modeled loosely off the Yamaha DX7 (which I have but she didn't know that I had), and using marble cake batter, Kit Kats for the black keys, Jolly Ranchers, and some licorice decorations here and there.

When I was up at Random Hacks of Kindness there was an interesting cacophony of noise coming through the walls. I wandered around to find out what it was, and stumbled upon the Annual Analog Synthesizer Meeting.
It's a group of audiophiles who use only analog circuits to make music. They generally hand solder their systems, though you can get kits.
The systems produce sound like this:
soundcloud.com/badr0b0t/maths-module
(listen to it about halfway through, it starts off slow)
Info on Hacker Dojo:

Facebook page for the Analog Synth meeting:
subblue inspired this attempt with his very cool eisen script.
It reminded me a lot of a scanning electron micrograph of "water bears" (a.k.a., tardigrades).
Created with Structure Synth and Sunflow.
[FYI: as of this posting, the exporter in Structure Synth for sunflow doesn't export the camera settings, so you'll need to manually tweak the .sc file to get things the way you want. It's a giant pain, for the time being].

A performance test of Structure Synth.
The tree is composed of one million boxes.
This takes 3-4 seconds to render on my laptop with its standard integrated Intel Graphics Adapter.
Hint: in Structure Synth, when holding 'ALT' only 5000 randomly chosen objects are drawn (as dots) making it possible to interactively position the camera.
The code is the standard 3D tree code:
set maxobjects 1000000
{ h 30 sat 0.7 } spiral
{ ry 180 h 30 sat 0.7 } spiral
rule spiral w 100 {
box
{ y 0.4 rx 1 s 0.995 b 0.995 } spiral
}
rule spiral w 100 {
box
{ y 0.4 rx 1 ry 1 s 0.995 b 0.995 } spiral
}
rule spiral w 100 {
box
{ y 0.4 rx 1 rz -1 s 0.995 b 0.995 } spiral

I've added a new feature to Structure Synth: the random seed can now be reset inside a rule. The command for this is: 'set seed initial'.
Now every rule call branch maintains its own sequence of random numbers. This makes it possible to generate the same set of random numbers as used earlier, by resetting the random number seed at some point.
In the example above, when the line branches the system is rotated, scaled to half size and the seed is reset. This way we will get exactly the same structure in a smaller scale. So it is a way to achieve self-similarity for stochastic systems.
I think this could lead to some very interesting structures. This will be part of Structure Synth 1.0 when released.

Portable Analog Modular Volumetric Video/Sonic Synthesizer-
Patch programmable by 'patch wires', just wire with no cable. Synthesizes a multitude of hologram quality 3D moving images and all sorts of chaotic sound patterns. The smallest synth of the Hologlyphics system.
Will be used in Kwisp's performance & instrument building workshop at DIYbca, Aug 14th
(Sound examples coming soon!)

This little synth is inspired from when Synthi-AKS met R2D2 and saw her holographically project Princess Leia.
Hologlyphics are animated spatial visuals seen in full 3D without glasses. Although not the same technical process as holography, the visual result is the same, a True 3D image with full horizontal parallax. Horizontal parallax allows you not only to see the animation in 3D, but also to see all views of the animation scene within a 90 degree viewing range. As you walk left to right, the perspective of the image changes as in the real world.
