This is a live feed of the material I am developing for Friday's thesis presentation in an effort to establish crowd sourced critique as live as possible in these few hours I have left. Please comment if you see any mistakes, flaws or opportunities for further development. Consider all images in-process and ready for change. Thanks and enjoy!
site plan, still need o draw in landscaping and elevated walkway connecting parks, perhaps the existing carousel also.
got a crit that the building didn't pop enough. lowered the brightness of context, i think it looks to grey.
money shot. rendering over with some photoshopping only if I have time, thus, the abstract image is a strategy to deal with time constraints.
uniting civic space. floor plan to be substitued by rendering of full building.
3d print fail, fill with tacky glue? note, raft and supports not yet removed
3d print model in context, towers are uniform height. I will print towers at varying heights to glue on top of it, but only if i have time. It doesn't look good without the varying heights and the optional connecting pieces between the towers. In context with the drawings and stuff, might be adequate as is.
mechanical pod handler (best name I could think of, up for debate though)
noise due to low sample value, gonna redo the render t tonight while I sleep. Difficulty trying to get crowd in there, and color. Trying to show sense of scale with this one, though, I think the blackhawk needs to be slightly larger.
circulatory system, people and resources. arrows and a key to be added. hard to delineate the three dimensionality of these systems.
Alternative money shot. to be photoshopped with mechanical pod handler units - one climbing with pod, and one in rest position. Grass textures and sky will be added too. I just didn't like that the main shot was of the architecture from far away like it was some jewel to be coveted, basically my antithesis.
