Design Rationale/Ideas

In creating my 3D design I started out from the 'datum' model I had constructed in the first project and from there I incorporated other design principles such as repetition, contrast, composition, with the addition and subtraction of rectangular shapes.. In doing this I wanted to create an abstract but inhabitable environment that was very structural and linear based rather than curved, triangular or cirlcular.

Through animation of my model I would like to keep this linear/structural quality whilst creating a modern or futuristic atmosphere. I will try to accomplish this through the use of horizontal and vertical movement of parts in my model, while 'flying' through the space rather than walking/examining.

Deep Exlporation - Another example of 'raytracer' render

Deep Exploration - Example of render with 'raytracer'; not as much clarity/detail

Deep Exploration - example of render set at 'poor quality'
