Inspiring Images


The different small petals in this flower are amazing how they all come together to create this one flower.  I can imagine them all falling off and softly floating to the ground. Almost like a dandelion.

 Falling Leaves: I wanted my model to explode during my animation and I thought it would be awesome to have parts fall like leaves to the ground.
Snowflakes.


Spirals


Another inspiration would be ninja stars. These are quite viscous looking and made out of metal. Could be interesting to have this type of feeling created in my animation?

1st Rendering Experiment



These were my first renders out of 'Deep Exploration'. I will be doing more work on my Sketch-Up model with the drawings I have done.

And I have to still work out how the colours and materials/textures work in Deep Exploration. I don't quite understand the concept yet. These colours didnt render out how I wanted them too. But they are still interesting and have almost a violent feel.
