My Two Image Precedents

 I was inspired by this image because of the how well it seems to flow together. The fish are almost appear is a whole. The sculpture is made from flat planes but when put together foams a 3D image of fish. The flat planes seamlessly connect to create this illusion of swimming fish. This makes me want to use flat planes also to create my model.
I liked this image because of the twisted bends it has and how it is duplicated by the shadow on the white background. This makes me want to convey this zigzag style into my model. i also may want to use shadow effect somehow with in my model

Final 81 Iterations

  • Alive

Textures For Final Render

I chose this for my texture because of the shape of my final iteration. It looks like a butterfly so i decided to take it a step further and make it look like an alive and free. This one fit perfectly and didn't suffer from my early problems of the butterfly texture.
I used this texture to emboss it on to my final iteration. I did this by using a map feather called bump which actually craves an image into your design. I chose this image because to make it more butterfly like.
This texture i thought would work well but it turned out to be to close and not enough variety of changing colours and textures.
This butterfly texture was good but the green areas didn't mix well so I tried to found a photo that was pure just a butterfly and nothing else so it wasn't ruin.
This was the first texture I used but it didn't work as well as I hoped and i realized at that point that my final iteration looked more like a butterfly so I decided to drop the feather idea and try a butterfly texture.

Chosen Final Iteration


This appalled to me because i feel it represent my words the best. it is almost the form of a butterfly which will help me choose my texture.

Layout for 81 iterations

I finally got my iterations to fit on my background. I had to condense all the iterations down so they were closer together the i rotated the angle which made it shorter and gave a more 3D element to it.
My second attempt was better but the same problem occurred and the iterations were still to small.  i was trying to an effect of flocking birds because it fit well with my words but i needed a way to make it not as wide.
 This was my original layout which didn't end up working because it was to long. When against my sky background it stretched out to far which made the iterations extremely hard to see.
