Project 3 Photo

After much trouble with my model and having to have it reprinted here is the photo of it. I really like how it looks as though its glowing in this shot. I decided not to treat it in anyway as it wouldnt have added anything to it and I like the translucent qualities the resin takes. It was very stressfull over these last few days but Im very pleased with how its come out.

Project 3 Reflections

My precidents werent my main source of inspiration and Im very alright with that. The pattern I made was great to use and it produced some great results. I was influenced by the repeating aspect of fractals which helped in coming up with my pattern but overall it has been the 2 projects before that ultimatly lead to where my designs are now.

Project 3 Model Render

Heres my render of all three models. I went for a very dark, grey and industrial look. For the render I was inspired by the curves and spikes within my created pattern and they reminded me of wrought iron fences so I decided to work with that look and I think its come out with some great looking results

Project 3 3D Print design


Heres the design I chose to have printed. I really like the twists and the empty piece in the centre is one of my favourite features. I havent fully decided how to treat it but Ill figure it out when I get it back from being printed.

Project 3

A few more digital models





Project 3

Before I started investigating my precidents further I wanted to play around with a pattern I created during the last project from part of my laser cut profile























Then using the idea of repeating I came up with a few 3ds models mostly to see how it came out in 3d form



mostly just for experimentation, but I do like the idea of different points of rotation as in the top two

Project 3

Ok, for this project I have decided that I shall do my blog as I do the project instead of at the end so here I go.
I started at looking at patterns , mostly wallpapers at first then some graffiti art and then fractals and naturally occouring fractals and natural maths patterns and I compiled a few images that Ill use as precidents.
