MDDN 241 - 3D MODELING AND ANIMATION: March 2012

MORE DETAILED CONCEPTS (PROJECT 1)

Concept 1 - WATER DROP

Here are more detailed concepts, much better quality... Also I provide PDF files within

Concept 2 - PAPER

Concept 3 - RUBBER BALL

Concept 4 - CLAY

CONCEPTS FOR PROJECT 1

Fast description : 4 ideas includes

1) Water drop => Moves, spins, twirls, twists => Stretches out into a puddle => Vapours and turns into steam => Accumulates into a water drop again

2) Paper => Rolls => During rolling, gradually changes and turns into fabric => Stretch out plain => Hardens & turns into steel sheet

3) A bouncing rubber ball => Some bounces, melts into liquid form => the matter moves up & down, makes waves => stronger and stronger waves, bring up some spiky waves => waves reach their max, pulls off the ground => twists, twirls and turns into a glass ball => hangs on in the middle of the air then drops down and brakes into pieces

4) A block of clay => Pulses strongly (like a heart) => some pulses, turns into Ceramic (smooth & glossy) => gradually makes some tiny waves => turns into a block of coal

RESEARCH ON FORMS

Most common states of matters in the world : solid, liquid & gas, 3 in general but variety in particular... I would like to research specifically on some I feel really interesting, also I will focus on the forms.

STEAM, SMOKE : move kind of randomly, softly & gradually... Also I like how the smoke blurs the objects behind them, make some sort of fairy scenes.

TWIST, TWIRL, TORNADO-LIKED : I just like the way how these are incredibly formed, the movement is so strong, steady and fast; the size is huge

WAVY, SPIKY FORMS : I combine those two types of forms, one symbolizes the softness, flexible and the other one symbolizes the stiffness, thorniness... They are so contrast & beautiful....

LIQUID, MELTED FORM : soft, harmony, flexible & reflective...

ROLLED FORMS : flexible, soft, elastic...

RESEARCH ON MATERIAL

Here is some research on material. I will make it short, those are the characteristics of the material that I like.

FABRIC : flexible, durable & strong
