DSDN104 - Project 2 - Final Re-Render Lighting Setup

Lighting Setup for my final re-rerender 

 

For my final rerender I wanted the image to be as close to my final photographic image as possible. I have used a camera in 3DS Max with the same 30mm lens and fstop for consistant depth of field. I then duplicated the lighting setup I have used for my final photographic image so the lighting is also consistant.

Intuitive Interface wireframe 

I have decided to do a cellphone app and i will be developing my second concept, the intuitive interface.

The best design is design that is hardly noticeable, that fulfills a task without the user needing to give it a thought. Keeping this in mind i developed a concept that uses the operators subconscious to guide them and act as an internal radar. The interface its-self involves the user typing in the destination on their phone and putting it in there pocket. The phone will then vibrate in different way in order to navigate the user around the building. For example if the user needs to go straight the phone is silent, then if the path requires a right turn the phone will vibrate twice seconds before the turn is needed, twice to turn right etc. The idea behind this is that with enough use of this app the vibrations will work their way into the user's subconscious, allowing them to arrive seamlessly at their destination without having to pay attention to the vibrating (like when you drive somewhere and arrive only to realize you have no recollection of the trip its self). The only downside to this is being able to fully adapt the concept to the brief as it would not need that much of an interface at all. 

DSDN104 - Project 2 - Render/Photo Overlay

First attempted composition combining a render and a photo.

I feel this subtle combination of my first render and final photo make and interesting composition. The photo is obviously the focal point of the composition, however the render gives it some added depth and is harmonious with the photo.

First Edited shot from the first shoot

I feel this shot with the lights gives the background plenty of depth and make my model look like its coming to life. I think I will try playing around with some HDR effects on the model to push the idea of it coming to life further. 

DSDN104 - Project 2 - Test Shoots

Raw, unedited shots from the first shoot of my model. I like the idea of shooting with white light behind the model, i feel that it gives the edges more definition and make it look more lifelike. 

DSDN104 - Project 2 - Sketch Model 6 - Stand

Acrylic lasercut stand for final model

My laser cutting file contained a stand for my model that i attempted to construct so i could create the illusion of my model being suspended in the air. I found the stand to be intrusive in the design so i will be using fishing wire to suspend the model from the ceiling instead.
