VIST 284: The Bowl Scene

Here is the The light, textured scene.

VIST 284: Mr. Fish'd Face Lift

Since the last post, Mr. fish has gone through some serious changes.

Mr. fish now has a function skeletons, and handles to move the mesh.

And then I created a UV map and colored it.

This is the result of Mr. Fish's beauty treatment.

 

 

VIST 284: Fish scene and Improvements

So after a rather long painful process, I remodeled my fish. A least this time it looks more like a recognizable creature.

I then added the fish and other previously made objects into the fishbowl scene.

Here is a closer look at the other objects.

VIST 205: Project One

The final collection

VIST 205 Project One: Part Seven

Using Maya to create a 3D image from a2D vector image.

 I imported the illustrator file into Maya, beloved and extruded, colored and added a snow texture to the objects. I then learned how to added lighting and render through the camera. I'm still pretty new to Maya, but this was a good leaning experience.

VIST 205: Project One: Part Six

Type fonts and design. 

Pick a word that describes the tone of the design inspired by the original photo (Part One) and pair it with a font.

Let the word be in the forefront, the focus of the design.

 

Incorporate the word into the design.

Build a texture swatch with the font and use it in the design.

VIST 205 Project One: Part Five

Original abstract vector (part three)

Take two colors that properly describe your design and add them to the vector. Then take one color that does the opposite.

 

Red: Excitement, tension, passion, danger, strength, energy, and power are a few words that come to mind in our western culture when the color red is used. The color red is the most widely used color in advertising and media because our eyes are naturally drawn into the warm energy it creates. In this design the tension caused by the upward motion of the repeating circular forms are well represented by the dark red. I wanted to color only small sections of the design red so not to unbalance the design. I also wanted the red dashed lines to help direct the eye towards the dynamic, diagonal, upwards direction.

 

 

Yellow: Known for its cheeriness, and warming effect, yellow, also simulates the mind and muscle activity. It encourages joy, adventure but is also represents betrayal.  I used a limited amount of bright yellow in my design because of its foreground/background position. The color betrays the eye as it is drawn away from the up and rightward movement. The pop of yellow creates balance and unity with on the design while still encouraging warm excitement throughout.

 

 

Blue turquoise: Symbolizing a calming spirit and a feminine appeal, turquoise is rather opposite from the strong repetition found in the design. For the cooling turquoise to be affective I need to color a large part the design. I also want to pull the eye away from the unity and motion that moves upward so I colored smaller parts. Overall, the chilling clam disrupts the original tension by putting the focuses on the middle of the design.
