EXP 3 WK 1 - Pathways using Ued3





These captured images are showing my first attempt with Unreal model making. It is at the beginning stage, where the model only consists of three L-shaped prisms interconnected to each other.



I have developed Unreal model design based on the three one-point perspective drawings above.

I have chosen Ratan Tata and Zhang Yin as my clients for unreal space. I am going to use their external powers, such as wealth, dominance in their specialised industry, position and influence in the society.

EXP 2 WK 3 - FileFront

My final Unreal model can be found HERE

EXP 2 WK 3 - Final Model Captures







These captured images are selected views of my final Unreal model. I have used different textures of my own to create gradation from darkness to brightness inside Unreal space. I have used application of addition and subtraction to show deformation of Unreal space (these represent different stages of life - personification). I have used lighting effect only on the areas of importance.

EXP 2 WK 2 - UT2004 Model Capture 2





These are captured images of my second UT2004 Model making practice. This is not showing the final idea of my Unreal space. However, this space is created by combining the ideas of Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking's quotes. The vertical column (tunnel) associates with the idea of wasted life in Charles Darwin's quote. The last image shows the lighting effect, from darkness to brightness.

EXP 2 WK 1 - UT2004 Model Capture 1




These 4 captured images show my first practice with UT2004 Model making. I have used the idea of subtraction and addition of my Unreal spaces to back up the idea behind Stephen Hawking's quote. The last image shows the lighting effect (mixture of darkness and lightness) to create different moods within the space. The word 'destructive' from Hawking's quote is represented by dark and doomed lighting effect.

EXP 2 WK 2 - Electroliquid Aggregation

By combining Stephen Hawking and Charles Darwin's quotes, I have come up with a new quote;
'The only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. The true value of life can only be discovered when we create life in our own image.'
I will use this newly created quote as the base of my design of Unreal space. I will be focusing on two main aspects of life (here, life means Unreal space). First is the negative aspect of life, such as destruction and wasteful as suggested by Charles Darwin's quote. I will achieve this by subtraction and addition of my spaces. Second aspect is the positive side of life, such as creativity and liveliness. I will create this atmosphere with lighting effects.
In between negative and positive sides of life, I will create a connecting pathway (possibly tunnel) to show the relationship betwee thoes two. I will play with the textures to show the different environments within Unreal space.
