final 81 render

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and why I couldn't create a scene with all my models. Nethertheless I fixed it all and got it all done before everything was due (by just) I decided to go for the whole "black hole" look with my layout as it matched the look of my final render and was fun to do anyway. I had to cheat and use a spiral grid as the background while doing the layup for the final render since I seem to suck at making things look straight. I also used lighting with my final scene to add more depth and a bit of ironey as well (the closer to the center the more light)


 I do realise that it looks rather budget but I had loads of trouble with the program crashing among other things so I believe it looks rather awesome for what I had to work with. I'm happy with it all.

Final render and scene

Well I finally finished all my 81 alliterations from my first design (the cyber board fish thing) to my final design which I believe fits my 3 words and looks very science fictional. I had trouble with the placing of the lights and camera with my final scene as the computer was lagging every time I tried to do something with it, but I finally got it all soughed (still having trouble with my combined scene but at least I've done everything else so that's all I need to worry about)

First view without lights and camera

overall I believe that my final model matches my three words Angle, Smooth and Spiky and reflects these words, maybe not perfectly but still dose.

Heading towards final design layout

I have finished all 81 alliteration and now up to deciding how to display my final model as well as all 81 together. I decided to use a cyber like metal material for my custom material with my final model.


I'm also thinking of using a space scene for my final render and a almost water/space cross theme for my combind scene render. I need to actually do it first to make it final but so far it seems like a good idea with the look I'm getting so far.

Thoughts of the Future

I began to draft what I thought my final model may turn out like in the end while looking at my models so far. I do realize that I lack 3-Dimension in my draft but it's easy to Imagine what it may look like from it (I hope)
I'm looking to go towards a whole science fiction look (either a ship or a satellite look with the final depending on what angle looks the best)

Model Development with Words refrence

while counting through all my models and looking through all my alliteration to see if my final is heading towards matching all three words, I discovered the difference from the original design and how they are forming towards reflecting my chosen noun, verb and adjective.

Here is a small display of a few of my models from between number 12 to 60 to show the development towards my final and how they reflect my three words

model developments

working through my 81 modifications from my original design, my final is heading towards becoming a complete transformation from the original which reflects my 3 words. the triganomic shape makes them look rather science fictional.
this is a quick render of my 27th alteration, as you can clearly see it is completely different from the original design. My chosen word "spiky" is clearly reflected in this.

Start of 104

Well, here I am at my first year of Uni, this blog is dedicated completely to my DSDN-104 course (digital creation)
First off we had to browse through all these other existing blogs elected to us via the "first year design" website (under DSDN 104) and choose a pic that we liked to trace and create using solid works.
This was the picture I chose (A circuit board like fish thing)

After that, we were to trace aspects of the chosen picture using solidworks in order to create a 3D image
 Which is to be edited a little more on solidworks before I transfer it to the other programe where it shall be modified 80 or so times which fit my 3 words "Angle"(noun) "Spiky" (adjective) and "Smooth" (verb)
