RATIONALE

My model is based on building blocks with an industrial style. i used the repetition of blocks stacked on top of eachother to create a hollow structure which can easily be explored. at the begining my idea was to start the blocks apart and join them together with the movement of the connecting tunnels. Then my idea changed into a complete structure that comes apart and back together with the movement which then makes it easier to move through. My movie explores the industrial environment by moving in between the blocks and through the inside to show the moving tunnels and faces.

DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS IN ESPERIENT CREATOR

These are my screenshots showing movement in Esperient Creator. I had to change the textures on my model because my chosen textures did not work in Esperient Creator but
chose these textures because they are still industrial looking.

100 WORDS- DESIGN INSPIRATION

I chose my figure & ground model to develop as i thought it would look effective to move through. The inspiration for my final designs came from the idea of building blocks and how they stack neatly on to each other, however instead of using bright colours like lego i decided to take inspiration from an industrial style because i like the neutral colours and it makes the model look more modern. I want the blocks to start out all closed up and then unfold and join together so that they have a stacking block effect then it will be open to freely move around and explore the inside like a tunnel.

TEXTURE RESEARCH

This texture looks a lot like the top of a lego block, could look effective but may be difficult to match other textures with.

These bright colours are similar to lego but might not work well with the shape of my model, not sure how i would apply them to look effective, they may be too bright.

I like this metal texture but it is too shiny for my model and it would look too busy.

The concrete slabs have a more earthy feel to them and go well with the theme of blocks but would give my model a more industrial look.

RESEARCH

Concrete Slabs

I like the neutral tones and clear cut lines in these images.

Building Blocks

I like the way they fit together. would be good to use this as inspiration for my model.
