Screen Shots and Iterations

Text

I was interested in a few themes for this assignment, lightning bolts, dead trees and cracked stone.

I chose these themes because I believe that some very interesting forms could be made with these themes as inspiration and used as ideas.

I decided to mix up two of these themes, cracked stone and dead trees, as my inspiration for my modelling.

The reason I mixed these up was that I wanted to create a cracked stone effect but with the 3d image similar to a dead tree. I did this using a lot of points, lines, pipes and lofts.

The 12 Iterations I made for the model were for different crack or branch patterns, or thicknesses.

I made different heights that the model can reach, different thicknesses of pipes and circles effecting lofts, and different positions of points which effect the directions of some cracks or branches.

I made the central part of my model able to change because in one way it can represent the trunk of a tree going from thick to thin, and in another way it can represent a large crack in stone, with changing directions and thicknesses.

Some of my Iterations were changing the length of some of the branches in the model, making them shorter or longer, higher or lower, this is because every tree branch or every crack in stone are different.

getting the basic shape I want, but to start making some adjustments

Inspirational Images

I have gone for the jagged look of dead trees, lightning strikes and cracked rock.
This type of model will be a challenge for me to create but the end result would be worth it.
