Photographed models- draft for Wk 10 submission

Photographed models 

Wk 8

materials used for photoshop task:

I chose concrete rendering for as a subtle compliment to the side of the building as the front of the room already had a lot going on

I placed my model within this environment as I wanted it to be in an open natural landscape and the lighting suited my shadows. A challenge was the shrubs making the ground uneven but I overcame this by adding additional shrubs to the front of the building to blend them in.

I wanted a bright feature as the rest of the model was quite dark, however, I had to slightly darken it as it stood out too much 

This is the model that I photoshopped into the environment. I flipped it and warped it as it was too angular compared with the background  

I chose this window as I thought it made the building feel more refined and added detail to an otherwise basic window 

I added texture through this wooden paneling. I found the pattern aesthetically pleasing. I had to take into consideration that the scale of this would indicate that they are wide wood panels, but I decided it gave it a more luxurious feel.

the window was very tedious to cut out but I thought the end result was good. 

Wk 8 photoshop task: Material composition
this allowed me to visualize the model to a real-life scale

I chose these materials......

Adding material to the initial model :
I chose these materials as they suited my aesthetic preference. The material reflected the 'plaza' which had a blue sky so I felt that the soft rose gold tones and blue complimented the blue that reflected off the glass. I used two different types of glass as I wanted to incorporate both the textures. I also liked how the glass was transparent hence you could all the grooves on the internal part of the model. I also used two different textures of the metal with a side and bottom being textured as I thought the smooth looked a bit boring but was necessary in order to balance out and not overcrowd the model. For the inside, I decided to juxtapose these other materials by using a fabric, however it continued to blend in due to the soft colour of it. 

Wk 7 studio activities

I really liked how this looked very different depending on the perspective it was looked at as well as the different shadows it cast as the sun moved

(1:20) 

indoor lighting. I felt that the flashlight was very harsh and the room was a bit too dark 

my room scaled at 1:50 with fibreboard 

I then added the upper level with a wide-open window to reflect in light

criticism:

- can see the tape

- the material wouldn't cut clean 

- it was a tough material to cut 

net of the room with thin cardboard (1:20)

experimenting with shadows by rotating the flashlight to imitate the sun

reiteration of the fibreboard model using cardboard

experimenting movement of lighting (different times of day)

I liked the stacking of different shapes

Fusion 360 model using initial KAT

I found this one pretty straightforward by watching the videos and didn't experience any issues with it
