Development 1

This is what I got for my final to 3d print. It links well to my precedent ideas with trist and how it forms a ball. I orginally had a ball within a ball within a ball to create a sort of inception but because it made my object to thin I decideed to change it to have a solid bal inside the teisted ball and have details on the solid ball.

Final Render. (digital model)

With my final render I made it very close to my actual model. This render however has more colour in it. I still wanted to go with my "apple" look and theme with this one aswel.

Photo of laser cut model.

This is my final photo for my laser cut model and I took the photo in a way so it would get a refelction that has been bent. I did this because it makes the "apple" look brighter. I also positioned lights in way so that I they refract off the acrylic and into the green bits of cardboard.

Development. finished digital model without rendering effects.

Finished the main digital model. I'm thinking about Photoshopping a tree branch for my final render to come off.

1st attempt at 3ds render at final.

This was my first attempted at makeing my final of the project. so far im having difficulties figuring out how to cut holes in objects on 3Ds max but I still get the idea of what i want to achieve from this.

5th sketch up model.

This is a failed attempt with my laser cutting but it showed me some of the corrections that needed to me made. the center part and outer ring needed to be closer.

4th sketch up model.

This is my sketch up model which is what I want my final to look like. It has a good representation of both a spiral movement and also an apple. One problem I am having with it is that it isnt that sturdy so im thinking of maybe putting a ring round the edges.

3rd sketch up

With this sketch up i was expirementing on something a bit diferant by putting in curves and points however I did not decide to develope on this.

2nd sketch model.

In this sketch model I was experimenting with making ellipses go together by creating slots and not using any glue. it was a success and gave me a better idea on how they can work and how I can make stands with the way I put my sketch's so they stand up.

1st sketch up.

With my first sketch up model I used triangles and piled up several of them layered on top of each other with a slight angle so it created a nice spiral effect in the end and with the photography part it made some interesting shadows however I think it looks to basic and maybe too spiky.

3DS development of 1st concept idea.

I took my concept idea that I made in Photoshop and made a 3D version of it in 3DS max and this is how it turned out. I like the look of it but I think that at this stage it looks too simple.

First concept idea.

I drew this up on photoshop and I am experimenting with the spiral effect and I made the opacity of the ovals low so you can see that it is a nunch of ovals layered ontop of each other and how the opacity changed as the spiral goes on.

Precedents.

These are some Images that I found which had the concept of a spiral which I was looking for. I'm interested into looking into flat plane objects rotating on top of each other to make a 3d shape. Also with some relation with the curves I started looking at apples and how there curves are made which is interesting to me.

I decided to make my final green to go with the word natural and I made the background a glass texture as well as the final image to give some reflection off the light to it. my idea with the way I put the lighting was to making smoke light shadows or whatever you see them as, this was to fit another one of my words imagination so it can be whatever you see it as. Through my development of 81 iterations I experimented with abstract forms of objects or creatures.
