Introduction to 3D Modelling

    my strawberry render: Im really quite happy with my strawberry plant although i do wish i started it earlier so i could add more maybe some leaves ora light texture on the seeds. But considering that it is my first model created with 3ds max i couldn't be happy with it and it looks really good when its geolocated so i don't mind the lack of detail much. 

 To try an dget aorund the issue with having too many verticies in my model i thought that it would be better to just simply use an editing sphere shape with a strawberry texture: This does work, howeve I prefer the look of the more geometry based one even without the smoothing so I plan to geolocate that model instead.

  When I was importing my model into Google maps i found that part of the model was disappearing because of the amount of verticies so i tried to fix this by 'optimising' the model but sadly this still didn't work and if i applied it any more it made the model lose its strawberry feel.  so instead i found that removing the smoothing from the model fixed the issue so i just went witht hat even if it did reduce the quality of the model. I also completed some size experiments:

Finishing and further development on my model:   In this blog post I show how I finished my strawbeerry fields model off and how im going to develop it further

 

 

Initial Model Idea and Development: These are my intial sketches for my 3D strawberry fields model.I tried to make it simple so it will be geolocated easily.    

 Strawberry Fields Research:

            The Beatles research

 Idea Development After thinking about my concept and drawing up a rough sketch ( shown below) I realised that it may be too complex of a model for me to create for my geolocation project as it is only meant to be a simple 3d model.      Therefore, using a mindmap I tried to came up wiith atlernative ideass that still go along with the theme of The Beatles and Liverpool.    I deceided to go with the idea of Strawberry Fields as I felt like that would be the simplest model out of all myideas and it would also be the one with the most context when geolocated.

GEOLOCATION- PROJECT ONE  INITIAL CONCEPT: For my initial Concept I have decided to use the liverpool docks as my location for my 3D sculpture as I used to go there a lot during my teenage years as I grew up in a town just outside of Liverpool so this is where me and my friends would often visit, I have a lot of good memories there.so that is why i have chosen the Liverpool docks as my location. In particular this area below: For the actual sculpture I came up with the idea of modelling and 'Octopus's Garden' to be placed in the centre of the water in the image above.This idea was inspired by the song 'Octopus's Garden' off The Beatles' album 'Abbey Road'. Due to the Beatles being one of the main tourist attractions of liverpool there is already a few sculptures within liverpool referencing The Beatles However the majority of them are very monochromatic and dont really stand out andin my opinion don't really capture The Beatles' psychedelic...
