Project 2 Precedent Images

I plan to use my final model from project one but modify it to incorporate the element fire to the plant form that I previously created. 

I may also use thread or a similar material to resemble smoke which will add to the representation of fire and make the model easier to understand. 

I have included the plant in my precedent images as I may decide to modify the shape of the plant that I previously had for my first project.

The vines are my last precedent image. I chose them because they represent a plant that grows upwards and I want to sow my plant growing up out of the fire as it is engulfed by flames.

Final Hero Shot

I picked this as my final hero shot because the lighting of the single spot light and the shadow that it creates. This creates a sense of the sun rising up in the morning and adds to how the model relates to my three keywords of Life, Growing and Organic. I chose the texture because of the bottom up, dark to light nature of the grass textured colour diffuse map and smoke textured bump map.

Final 81 Iterations

I chose to grid my Final 81 Iterations because of how the grid layout contrasts with the organic forms I have created. The flowing, curved nature of the designs contrasts the straight, organised lines of the grid. By using a small version of my hero shot I have shown which model I will use as my final for my hero shot.

Hero Shot Trial Attempts

 This Hero Shot has three target spot lights that create a bright model. The model has a grass textured diffuse colour map and a smoke bump map to create its final texture.

This model only has two spotlights but is still well lit. The two maps used are a grass diffuse colour map and a tree bark texture bump map.

81 Iterations(not laid out) and 3 Final Options

 These are the three models that I have picked out from my 81 as possible options for my hero shot. I have chosen these three because they relate most closely to my three key words. I have
added a simple texture to show how the models may possibly start to look like for the hero shot.

I have now finished all 81 iterations and will now look at chosing one for my hero shot. I will lay them out in grid format because after trying overlaying them in different ways on backgrounds, have decided that I will grid them instead.

45 and 65 Iterations

With 65 iterations completed I have now created some good models, that will lead to my final 81 and also to the model I will use for my hero shot. I already have some possible hero shot options.












With 45 iterations I am now over halfway for my iterations. I will continue to use my three key words, Life, Growing and Organic to develop my iterations through to 81 iterations where I can decide on the model for my hero shot.

First Sketch, Solid Works Model and 25 Iterations

   

These are my first 25 iterations, I have stuck to my three key words of Life, Growing and Organic and have developed models that both grow and transform as well as showing life in bird and plant like forms.

This is my Solid Works model shown rendered inside 3ds Max. I created it using extrude and extude cuts as well as copying and rotating and using the free sketch tool. It shows a bird like form that I will start my 81 iterations from.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sketched this drawing quickly using pen as an intial idea of what I could do with my Solid Works sketch image. It is similar in a way to how I ended up designing my Solid Works model with the same bird form idea. 

Solid Works Trace Image, Precedent Images and Key Words

  

Noun: Life

Adjective: Organic

Verb:Growing

The images that I have looked at include firstly a shot from the movie Avatar. This creature from the movie is a dragon, bird like creature that shows life and movement. Secondly I looked at a growing plant because it shows life and is a flowing organic form. Lastly I looked at a series of harsh, spikey balls. These show black and white contrast and I put this image in becasue I was originally looking at key words such as, sharp.
