Exercise 9

For this exercise, we used the model that we created for the last exercise and transformed it so that it could viably be outputted to a physical model. The first transformation is rather simple; I cropped part of the original model and illustrated the shadows that the objects cast so that they could be modeled on the tertiary plane that I originally created. For the second transformation I wanted to better represent the physical voids in the grating as they appear in real life, in a perspective view. I did this by extruding the top of the rectangular volumes into a diagonal shape above the grating. The third transformation is an exercise in further studying the space that the grating encapsulates. By making the grating into a cage, the texture and flowing shape that the metal is weaved into is further accentuated. Still, as with the previous models, there is a clear understanding of solid/void, however, the layering of the objects is lost. The fourth and final transformation is kind of a combination of the the first and second transformations, while the diagonals in the source image are highlighted by removing the field of rectangular volumes that were originally gridded among the voids in the grating.
