Week 7 Initials Exercise
(MY INITIALS ARE JMC)
I made a few attempts for this exercise as I had originally chosen to use the initials JSC. Issues arose once I had tried to loft the three faces (as seen below), and I made two further attempts trying to round out the letters and soften the sharp corners. After recognising that the main issue was connecting the curviest letter, S, to the others, I eventually chose to use the initial of my other middle name, Mildred.
After adjusting all three letters to be more rounded and stylistic, I was able to create a solid component with an interior thickness of 1.5mm. The final 3D model is shown below.
Material Experimentation: Week 8 Activity
Whilst experimenting with rendering the 3D model, I wanted to choose materials that reflected my design intent to bring light and air to my models. The semi-transparent finish of the emerald and frosted glass allows viewers to see through the shape from the exterior, which I thought was an interesting addition to the complex, organic shape. Alternately, the highly reflective surface of the polished gold allowed me to better spatially understand the model by looking at the clear reflections of light across the surface.
