DSDN 142 - Creative Coding.

This post reflects on my first concepts of the second project.

This was my very first result that I got out of one of the tutorials. It has a similar script as the one given but it is changed around. I has worked as another inspiration.



I decided to start off on the basic idea of a rotating ellipse. I don't intend to have forms, I have the goal to create something very abstract and unexpected. But we all start off on basic ideas. This is how it might work.



Out of the rotating ellipse, I created this interactive application where it changes colour as you move the mouse from one side of the screen to the other. I involves a lot of control as well, which is a bad thing when you wish to creative something very interactive, however, I plan to change it around so the abstractness will take over control.



The other day I had the idea of creating a bullseye using the ellipse and then have an arrow to create a relationship between the bullseye target and the arrow.
This is my first concept.



I now have a line which will supposedly represent the arrow moving towards the bullseye ellipse. In addition, everytime you shoot the arrow its speed slowly increases.

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.

DSDN 104 - Digital Creation.

Here is my final design.

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

Here is my 81 different iterations set.

This was my previous final design. I used an egyptian background trying to apply the concept of the people who believed that were aliens who actually aliens built the pyramids. I tried to imply that my model has a link between a pyramid and an alien.

Here are the Material Editors I applied and experimented on my 3D image to get to my final design.

Here are the modifiers I mostly used to create my 81 iterations.
