DSDN 104 - Choosing printing

Printing choice

Came to the conclusion of choosing between these two models that are very similar. i decided to choose the bottom one as i found it could relate more to my president images on how the shape is looking like a red blood cell with also having the deleted mesh making the holes in the shape of it also. In the middle is more visible showing the white blood cell virus. 

DSDN 104 - Concepts/development

20 Concepts/Developments

Picked the best concepts that i developed a wide range that were quite different from one another. The closest was taking the idea from the DNA helix twisting and bending it to form a pattern that joins together perfectly. Some of the other designs are a combination of the concepts that i had done with the idea of the white blood cell and holes of the red blood cell in the objects. 

I couldn't figure out why the mesh went invisible when i rendered but i think it is as 2-sided was not turned on.

DSDN 104 - 3DS Max concept/ development

3DS Max concept/ development

I found it alot better to express my ideas through using 3DS Max then trying to draw them. i could never get it right on paper so i explored more on the computer. i came up with different shapes to start off with using mirror, extrude, twist, bend, ect. I tried a technique of latticing some objects but the poly count went ridiculous.

DSDN 104 - Further experiments

Further experiments

After looking at the tutorial i continued to experiment with the idea twisting and bending the solid shape first and then applying the modifiers to delete the mesh out of it. This was one of my results i came out with. 

It's alot harder to delete the mesh first and then try to bend or twist it. The mesh becomes to distorted.

3DS Max

I found a interesting tutorial on how to go about deleting the mesh inside my model.

This was my result with using the tutorial and a simple scale tool. The deleted mesh in the was a lot and if i was going to use it in designs i would want it to be thicker so it could be 3d printed.

DSDN 104 - concept design

Concept design

Drew out some concepts that followed my design precedents alot with the white blood cell virus look a like on the first page then having more then one of them making a bit of a cluster. I really liked the idea of using the red blood cell shape as a negative so that the object would have holes all through it but also a unique shape. The second page the objects have run off the red blood cell shape. 

DSDN 112 - Storyboard

With the first frame it is the person wandering around looking lost where he finally pulls out his phone in the second frame taking a photo of his location. It shows a zoomed in shot of the application then him placing it back in his pocket walking off in the distance. The next frame is of the character walking through the hall ways with the camera capturing parts of his legs walking and blurred shots of the body moving past. Shows him briefly cheek his phone again before proceeding to where he finds his location opening the door and disappearing.

Throughout the video their will be the parts where the user speaks and also music that will be played through the characters journey.
