Wk 8 Studio Activities (cont.): Photoshopping and Model Materials

All three images show different 'moods' elicited by the room. (


Type 1: "The Cabin"
My main aim in modelling the room was to create a sense of cosiness to it - where I take advantage of the tight space in my room and expand it. The materials above represent wood from a wood cabin. The top roof is made of birch timber, the wall from spruce.


Type 2: Interior View
I experimented with different materials and assumed a different location. The skylights reveal that the house is near a mountain range - this view can be seen from the inside. Directly ahead, the use of stone creates the firm "block" towards the private resting area. The marble floor adds to a more luxurious and modern essence.


Type 3: Balcony
The materials of timber and acrylic represent the materials of a modern house. Timber will keep the house warmer in winter months (warmer than marble). 



Reflection/Honest Side Note:
As I have limited experience with Photoshop in the past, I found this task to be extremely challenging compared to model making itself. It took me way longer than expected (15x longer than the making of ONE model); the main issues faced were trying to make the selection correct for the layer mask. Often, the selection would go flying off on irrelevant tangents and consequently, material placement would become unrealistic. Due to the nature of my room being quite abstract (not completely literal) it was difficult combining the materials together.
