Week 8 - Initials material rendering

My inspiration for the three designs of my model come from the natural environment. All three landscapes hold good memories and are also aesthetically stunning.

1. The Beach

There is the water of the ocean in the middle faces, sand on the bottom ones, and sea foam at the very top. This design also coincidentally resembles a fish or dolphin, which acts as a whimsical and relevant effect.

2. The Forest

Leaves are shown at the top, following an undeniably realistic leaf like shape with holes as well (perhaps symbolising that not everything has to be perfect). Then the trunk of the tree, for stability and structure, and the dirt, from which everything evolves from.

3. The Snow

This one is perhaps a bit more abstract, portraying snow and ice in different forms. The hexagonal pattern embodies the physical structure of each snowflake and the smooth sides showing them as a whole. The thin strips in one of the upper regions act as icicles and the floor is the snow once it has been disrupted by humans and animals.

Hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I did making them. :)
