Crysis Playground

These images which I have uploaded are just of me getting my bearings within crysis and testing out what some of the features can do. I really like the idea of night time scenes as they allow for different lights to be used, so you can draw someone's gaze to a particular idea or design element.

EXP 3 - Crysis German Valley

These are some images which I have taken inside Crysis Wars from the landscape which I have created. I still have a bit of work to do on it, but I just wanted to get a good overview of how I was going to work around the landscape and how it would look.

EXP 3 - Angela Merkel & Miranda Kerr

For this experiment I am thinking of leaning towards choosing Merkel and Kerr. The main reason for this being as I really admire and respect the power which Angela Merkel has been able to gather in her involvements within the European Union and its integration into the future. Miranda Kerr on the other hand, for me knowing that she is a world renown supermodel, I knew that she would be a person who could fit in anywhere on the earth. This is why I feel she fits in well within a German landscape, as I wanted to have two people who relate in the way of which era they live in the world, and also where they reside in the world.

EXP 3 - Power One-Point Perspective

These are my sketches from the tutorial today. I actually had a bit of fun making these, well, a lot more than I did with the axonometrics!

Final EXP 2

These images show my final Crysis environment


This image shows through my Electroliquid Aggregation quote the expansion of the building further and further up. For it to explore itself, becoming an entity in its own right. Having the meeting place in the middle of the ramp in nature was an important part of this design.





The entrance to Hawkings lab needed to grow with my quote, showing it being bathed in light and fitting within the space provided to fully emphisise the work that Steven Hawking theorises.



This image shows Kueppers lab, with the textures being used much like the cells in which she works with on a daily basis. Having her lab being lower then the rest of the building fitted in well with the quote in the same respect as Hawking's fitted in with his lab.

Sketchup Images

These are my images of the finished Labs in sketchup. My idea was to have Kuepper in the lower lab, and Hawking in the higher one. These labs would be accompanied by larger extrusions which would serve as somewhere Kuepper can attach and test her solar panels, and where Hawking can observe and ponder the universe....





These are pictures from my notebook which show my attempt at a two point perspective, and an axonometric of my final Design.

EXP2 Textures

These are the custom textures which I created in the Studio class. They represent the entire range from light to dark, starting with a simple parrten on each page which progressively gets more and more complex.

EXP2 - The Black Box

The Black box indeed. The reason which I chose this slide was its relation to how I was thinking at the time when I was desigining the labs for my clients. I always knew I wanted to have the two labs closer to the ground, but not entirely on the ground and for it to have protrusions which would serve a purpose for not just one scientist, but both simultaneously. This is the main reason which I have chosen to reflect on my chosen slide. Seeing something, with its form free to explore the air and the space around I found particularly interesting. For me I wanted my design to feel like a growth, which although is rooted to the ground, to give the illusion that it is trying to reach out into the air - Constantly contending with the space around.

EXP2 - Interconnecting Axonometrics & Electroliquid Aggregation quote

Electroliquid Aggregation Quote

"There is a clear link between access to electricity and standard of living. There is therefore an urgent need to address this inequality throughout the world, and photovoltaic technology is well positioned to be a part of the solution"

"What is the future of the human race? We beleive that life arose sponaneuously on the earth, so it must be possible for life to appear on other suitable planets, which there seem to be a large number in the galaxy."

My Electroliquid Aggregation Quote:

There is a clear link between the future of the human race and access to electricity and standard of living. There is an urgent need to address this inequality for the possibility for life to appear on other suitable planets. There seems to be a large number of Photovoltaic technology available, and it is well positioned to be part of the solution in the galaxy.


These are my combined parallel projections which explore the interconnections between my drawings from the first week of this experiment.
