DSDN 104 - Digital Creation.

Here is my physical model's picture.
I dyed it in green paint to have a better effect.

Here is the final picture.
All my rendered models in evolving order.

A special thanks to Jeongbin and Richard!
DSDN 104 was awesome! :)

Then, I created the template of a 'pokemon' card. I planned to add each of my models to a different card. In my story, the leaf would evolve and become a dragon in the end.

Here is the template:

Here are my final renders all together and separately:

In order to get a good effect the lighting, shadowing and reflection, I used two mr Area spots to create two different shadows on a single model as well as the camera view. I gave the shadows an effect so it looked blurry. I used car paint on the curved plane so it would have shadows, shininess and reflection.

Here are all of the different textures I tried and experimented to get the final stage of my renderings. I used metallic paint on all of my models to get the effect I wanted and I was very satisfied with the result.

For my third model, I modified the leaf I had at first and tried to make it something like a dragon so that I would be able to relate the leaf I had at first to the dragon. However, I only decided to do so hal-way through the process.

Then I started sketching my own dragon and tried to make it not flat using a lot of the fillet function, I also took out the wings because I wanted to use the leaf to make its wings in 3DS max afterwards:

and some more precedent images:

I wanted my other 3D model to be a dragon, so I started researching some precedent images of dragons:

Then I put it into 3ds Max, started playing around with it and came up with my first model, which was also the one I sent to the 3D printer:

I came up with the following image:

I started sketching my first 3D model in Solid Works, the leaf.

At the start of the project I researched some precedent images for my 3D models. I wanted to create a leaf and have it looking like a real leaf. So, I started looking at some patterns to figure out how I would put everything together. I found the following images:

Here is the picture taken from my final laser cut model.

In order to make my eagle look really 3D when it was in the cube, I changed it a little bit.

This is my final render.

I also had the idea of creating the biohazard symbol, but it had nothing to do with my previous designs and therefore I would not have much of a story then I moved on to the eagle. I first created the layers in Illustrator and then used solid works to extrude them.

After going through the idea of creating a physical object in acrylic layers I realized that the chair idea would't look too good. Then I decided to go back to the eagle concept that I used on my first project, the base of all my different iterations including my final project. This is the image.

DSDN 104 - Digital Creation. [Project 2]

We have started project two and our goal is to create a physical model out of one of our 3D designs. We were able to choose from 81 different iterations or our final "hero" model.

For my project I chose one of my iterations, the one shown below:

In my opinion this model looks very interesting. When I look at it I see a chair every time, and for this reason I decided to research chair structures and the way they are and can be built.
These were some of my inspirational images.

Now I have started sketching how I will start constructing my own model.

Here is my final design.

The three words I chose were Obscure(a.), Tempter(n.), Touch(v.).
