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.
