WEEK 14 : RENDER THE INTERIOR IMAGES

Using Photoshop, I tried to render the interior images and work out with the specific spaces.

WEEK 13 : Cross section the building

After confirming the final form of the building, I sectional cut the building in blender and bring it into Autocad.

WEEK 12 : WORK ON THE INTERIOR SPACES


After getting the form done in Blender, I tried to export the blender file into dxf file. By doing so, I will be able to work out the interior space in Autocad. I decided to use Autocad to extrude the floor since the form of the building is curvy and it will be very hard for me to work it out in Blender.

WEEK 11 : Working on the interior spaces

I look for Zaha Hadid's building to get some inspirations for the interior spaces. Then, I come out with an idea to make the the building an exhibition on the first floor and the ground floor as a resting area.

WEEK 10 : LASER CUT THE MODEL

Before working on the laser cut model, I cross section cut through the model and trace the outline of the model in Autocad.

WEEK 10 : come out with list of SCHEDULE,finalise the form


In today's class, I come out with a schedule for the rest of the week.

WEEK 9 :Edit the Form using 'CLOTH CONCEPT'

The previous model that I did during the interim is too solid, hence I made up my mind to delete the solid plane I created in the facade. Instead I tried to use the cloth concept to develop a more fluid facade, so that the new facade and the building look as in they are a a whole piece of structure.





















Image 1 : The original model without adding in the solid facade

I am going to develop a new facade from this original structure. A piece of 'cloth' will be applied on top of this structure.





















Image 2 : cloth applied on top of the structure

The cloth looks solid without the application of the modifier, 'subsurf'.

Image 3 : the surface of the cloth is smooth now with the application of 'subsurf' modifier










Image 4 : front view of the facade with cloth enveloping the structure

I go through more animation, trying to look for a suitable facade by adjusting both the position the structure and the 'cloth'.




















Image 5 : the cloth is placed at the site of the structure so that it flows horizontally through the model.

I realised it looks better when the cloth goes horizontally through the building. This is mainly because my model is lied horizontally. Hence, it is good to have the whole structure goes in the same direction.


Video 2 : animation done with cloth placed at the side of the model

















Image 6 : 'cloth' extract out from the model, red color indicated the facade of the building.

This is the view captured when the cloth is being animated at frame 53. I kind of decided to have this view as the facade for the building. However, I tried to put the cloth in edit mode so that I can made some adjustment to the cloth but to no avail.
