Wearable's: The Concept

In class,we were required to think of, and design a set of 3 wearable objects that we could potentially get made into our final product.
Although I don't have the original 3 that I acme up with, I do however have two different designs that I considered greatly.

As you can tell by the design, mine was a little lack luster which made me really contemplate what sort of wearable I wanted to make.
Luckily there was a lot good dialogue between myself and my fellow classmates about where we could take our concepts. I feel like we each walked away with a direction in mind.

I know it's a short post this week, but to be honest, there's not a lot to say.
See you in the next post!

Over the course of the past couple weeks, I have been on the lookout for a variety of different designs, textures, and patterns that inspire me as an artist. One of the things that I didn't realize was that, throughout my everyday life, we are bombarded with countless designs in which we could draw inspiration from. Our brains just block out the overwhelming number of them unless you're looking for them. The designs that I ended up finding we're all found within my own home, under my nose. I was astonished to discover how many I walk past each day without even thinking about it twice. These designs were all over the place, from the books that I read, the decorations that I own, all the way down the the art that I create without even thinking about it. What I was tasked to do after finding each of these designs, was to pull and take the inspiration from them and create something of my own that would inspire me to explore different avenues. ...

Disassembled: The Final Product

Here we are, the home stretch. After the long journey to get to this point in the creation process, all that's left is to render the completed pacioffi. There's not too much to say at this point, so I'll run you through what we're looking at. Currently we are looking at a 3D rendering of a pair of pacioffi in both its constructed and exploded views. I originally had a harsh texture added to the pacioffi in order for them to seem more like they were made of metal. This actually prevented them to be rendered correctly. In the end, I removed the added texture which resulted in the pleasant surprise that, because the texture/colour that I chose was clasified as metal, it came with a nice subtle metal texture which ended up working wonderfully for the final product. In the end, all I ended up having to do to make this look like a completely rendered object was just add a bit of lighting and find a nice position from which I should render. I hope you enjo...

Disassembled: Progress was made

Continuing from where we left off... After the shaping of the handles was completed, we continued forward to the hardest of the thing that we had yet faced. The curve that connects the handle to the flat part of the pacioffi looks like a very simple innocent curve that wouldn't take too much to render. That at least was the assumption that I had when I had first started this project. Initially the idea that both my teacher and I had thought might work was lofting several circles and a rectangle together in order to finesse the basic curve of the handle. Although this seemed to work in it's general sense, the problem that I faced was that I was left with a large chunky 3D object that when cut in half, could not be made into a closed polysurface. After continuing to troubleshoot and discussing this problem with my teacher, he suggested that we try surface modelling the curve as an alternative to lofting. Seeing as that solution did end up working, as seen ...
