Fleur

Fleur is a very vain insect. She spends most of her time striking poses in order to capture the bees which are attracted to her flower head. She is into conservation and when bees are not in season she consumes dead vegetation found on the ground which she then processes depositing highly nutritious manure at the base of all the flowering plants. She is a very happy omnivore but is easily saddened if something in her environment changes or rubbish is left around which she cannot clean up by consuming as she doesn't know what else to do with it.

Frazzle

Frazzle is a very nervous creature. He lives in caves at the base of a volcano. He is very shy and sweet but be careful not to cross him because he has the capablity to freak out. He is happiest when he is sitting by the fire. He jumps at every explosion from the volcano but due to short term memory loss, he quickly forgets and settles back down. He eats lava which he rolls into round balls with his soft hands, throws them up into the air and catches them in his mouth.

Week 2 - Modelling Origami

sketchup

This model was done using sketchup. I measured the paper and the openings so it should have been correct, however it does not look in proportion to the photograph taken from the base of it, the angles of the folds needed to be greater but I ran out of time to readjust them as it was complicated to line up all the polys. I was unable to re-photograph the origami at a better angle.

Another sketchup model but more successful. This was quite simple to create and had a better effect than the previous one. This was another student's origami, Steven Williams.

3ds max

I did this model in 3ds Max as I wanted to compare the difference between using Sketchup and 3ds Max. The quality of this model is much better due to the textures and lighting. The lines are too perfect though so I would have to bend them to create a more realistic look. Again, time was of issue.
