Although I am very happy with my chosen form, I have given myself a bit of a headache when it comes to graphically representing it. Over the past 4 years I have done all of my assignments by hand - I love how hand drawing a project can transfer character and style, while also conveying the passion, dedication and attention to detail that I apply to my work. However with such a difficult facade form, I feel I may need to challenge myself and learn to model digitally.
Ruwan was amazing in helping quickly introduce our class to 3DS Max during our tutorial, generously using my physical model as an example on manipulating form in the program. Unfortunately, due to my inexperience in computer aided design, I quickly became lost! But over the last couple of days I have slaved at my computer at every given opportunity to try and wrestle this best that is 3DS Max.
After much stress, tears and swearing, I have come up with a few different representations of my chosen form:
The above wave formation is the form that I most prefer, as it feels the most organic and elegant of the three. However, it is still too uniform and rigid for my liking, so with some more tweaking (and more sweating, crying and swearing), I have manipulated the form into what I feel is the perfect shape for my project.
