inspiration

university of Bahrain architecture photographed by Ahmed Haji

This is a shot looking up the ceiling of a tower at the university.

The photographer captured this from a very effective angle, showing perspective of the bright sky with the curves surrounding the ceiling. The grey concrete looks similar to my model, I'm inspired by the angle and feel it could be a good starting point to my animation.

100 words independent study

My model has become playful and gives a sense of depth using layering, the orange colours work well with the textured gray concrete looking shapes. I intend for the orange circle to act as a base and to be the main viewpoints in the model. For the animation I imagine to make the half circles spin and rotate to join together and make them link together. The orange circle are made up of 3 layers, I could make them separate and join back together to then hover in the air to then align together. The half circles are all overlayed which could be interested to make them slide through each other and then into a certain sequence. 

Cryengine 1

First few trials in Cryengine, played around time of day and different views. Yet to still get the hang of lighting

process final sketchup model

I added circles to my final model  and repeated my pattern to add more depth, I found orange worked quiet well with grey and made the model look more playful. I am now in the process of adding texture

Progress

Repeated the first pattern to slot together like a puzzle, creating depth and height to the model. The repeated structure fits together to form a circle.

Progess model

First progress of model, the curves all fit rotating in with each other

Sketches

These sketches originally come from my proportion model, I found the overlapping and shapes interesting to further investigate
