Beginning of Project 2

A few precedent designs for the second project. I want to keep with the organic and natural theme that I was showing in the first project and through my final rendered image from before.

I like the idea of "arms", sprouting and extending from a central source, and the organic / semi-random way this occurs in nature. I like the detailed textures you can find in nature, especially the image above, and would like to incorporate this somehow into my model.



Final Rendered Image

Final 81 Iterations

Textures For Material Editor

When used in the material editor, this image (sourced from the internet) has created an effective texture on my final rendered image

Own Textures

Textures of leaves that I have taken myself to use on my final rendered image.

Inspiration

I have been inspired by the images above, the ideas of sprouting seedlings and new growth, all in relation to my final rendered iteration.

Above is a rough sketch of my final chosen iteration to render, with notes showing my ideas for the background, materials, textures, lights and cameras used.

Trial Renders for Final Model

Experimental work with the material tools and textures, using nature and organics as my inspiration to create a final rendered image.

Trial Renders for 81 Models

Experimenting with lights and camera angles in 3ds Max, working towards my final rendered image of my 81 models.

81 Done!

81 iterations completed; still to be arranged.

Continued Developments in 3DS Max

I am continuing to develop my models in 3DS Max, focusing on my three words of "Organic, Layers, Flowing"

Precedent Designs

Above are my precedent designs, expressing "Organic, Layers, Flowing"

Definitions...
Organic; of or pertaining to the shapes or forms in a work of art that are of irregular contour and seem to resemble or suggest forms found in nature.

Layers;  a thickness of some material laid on or spread over a surface.

Flowing; long, smooth, graceful, and without sudden interruption or change of direction.
