ARCH1101 - EXP2

Week 3
This week we drew another 36 custom textures from except this time it was in sets of 6 from light to dark. We also had to create some smaller elements to support the Electroliquid Aggregation of the two clients. Having done this I used a light, medium and dark texture on different parts of the project to highlight certain aspecs and played around with lighting in Crysis.

Electroliquid Aggregation
"The negative can easily spread and consume its surroundings but can always be stopped through positive intentions."






This view shows how the invisible prisms "the negative" starts to eat at the main structure.


The individual elements at the side of the structure reinforce how the negative can be stopped and reconstructed to be positive(ie the red blocks)

This final image capture the balance of the negative and positive elements.

Week 2
In studio this week we took the six different axionometrics and combined them into three different pairs. It was really tricky to get this right and for some of the drawings I had to have a couple of goes before getting it right.



I chose to develop the last set of axios into SketchUp and then into Crysis. The Crysis landscape is meant to be modeled so as the two clients have a meeting place. Below I have tried to do this but still need to make it easier to access when the avatar is actually in the game.


As the two clients now have a combined project the initial hypothese needs to be revised to reflect both clients. Below is the "Electroliquid Aggregation" ie new hypothesis of the two clients Newton and Freud.


Newton: Newton never married becuase he loved science too much.
Freud: Freud's discover that negative can be repressed has made them harder to repress

Week 1
This week in studio we have three new clients; Isaac Newton, Marie Agnesi and Sigmund Freud. With these three influencial clients, we came up with two hypothesis about each descibing their lives/ideas. Once we had these we experimented with axonometric drawings using 5 rectangular prisms to describe each hypothesis.

Crysis Models

Getting Crysis to work on my computer was a bit of an ordeal but after reinstalling it a couple of times we eventually got there. It's fun to play around in the sandbox editor but often it was a bit frustrating trying to get things in specific spots or get the ladscape to do what I wanted. Hopefully with more practise it will get better...

  1. Hi Uma,

    I can see your axos and textures but none of the captures of your final model. Please check how you've uploaded these (I can see your first draft Crysis images though).

  2. Hi Fruzsi,

    That's really weird because I can see them, but I've just reloaded them hopefully it's working, otherwise I will try again in the labs tonight when I get back to Sydney. Sorry for the delay!
