Some Crazy Things Happened

I don't know what exactly happened but I thought i'd share the bizarre yet interesting occurrence with you

Exploration and Interesting Views

These were views from under the water that I found very interesting

Even More Development

Changed the colours of the model because I didn't like the tiled effect of the texture I had on it previously

 To put the largeness of the spheres into perspective I created a tunnel for the player to emerge out of during game mode. The walking through the model instead of flying through is easier to relate with and emphasises the vast nature of the space

Sketch my model is based on:

I decided to only use the triangle in the front and the tall thing at the back as the two elements in my model

Something happen to the triangle shape and I got this but since I enjoyed it more I decided to keep it

Around 100 Words On My Design Ideas

I began my design with the idea of recreating my symmetry model from the previous assignment into a sort of 'black hole' effect. I decided to keep the spheres and square shaped rods as the key elements of the piece. Through my own development and in-class exercises, where my model is now represents more of a planet jungle. The scale of the many spheres are what connects me to the idea that this could be an entanglement of solar systems to form a world of its own. In this sense, the few scattered glowing entities in the model emphasis the outer space theme so I decided that these objects will be the moving sections of my design. I decided to make these parts rotate around a selected point to reference the orbits of planets and moons found in the universe.

Changing Textures

Extended Development

After the discussion in class, I discovered my model needed more detail to create a more interesting space. I also needed to play around with the colour, textures and also the properties of the model.

To add more dimension I decided to alter the original sketchup model. I introduced multiple rectangular rods to one of the sections within the model:
