The Final Images for the Library

My Animation of The Peak -room divider

I'm happy to finally present an animation of my design work. It was not easiest thing to do, but defenitely one of the most exciting learning experiences that I've had so far.

3DS Max -day

Today has all been about the digital modelling of the room divider. I chose the final shape of it and tried to rend the images of it. The plan is also to rend an animated video of the product, but we'll see how it goes.

Digital modelling

While I'm waiting the library images to rend, I've been modelling the room divider and I feel quite good about it. I would like to test the shape to be sure that the divider is usable in real life so I need to find some cardboard somewhere...

I also found a final material for the room divider: synthetic felt. Material allows the product to be light and the sound absorbing qualities are good. There would be no need to use any kind of complicated construction inside the felt because it will be compressed tight. Below there is a image of a room divider called Fold by Studio Segers and Mookum, my product will be made with the same principle as the Fold.

Rendering...

I have been working with Artlantis 5 with my library and I found out a "funny" thing. To make a iVisit3D -file that I was planning to do, it takes to rend about 800 hours! 800 hours! And only with one 360 degree camera. So I'm really truly hoping that they would have Artlantis in the computers at school. Otherwise the rended images will have to be enough. (It takes my laptop about 17 hours to rend one image...)

Here is a link about the panorama file that I wanted to do with Artlantis.

What it comes to the room divider that I'm supposed to design, I feel distressed. The modelling with the new program is time consuming and I really don't know anything about the manufacturing and making the room divider. The shape seems to be too complicated and too expensive to produce... Maybe more research will help...

Library, library, library

I'm finally close the point that I can add the real materials to the library and start rendering. This is what I got done today.

The room divider

Okay, surprise surprise I'm lost again. I have no clue how to built this thing, should I change the shape or what? I definitely don't want to give up. So I'm going to leave it for a while hoping the idea just comes when it is supposed to come and concentrate on the library. Get it done and then the last few weeks concentrate on the room divider. Time is the enemy...
