Update:

This week I worked on my environment including adding tree's and fixing the surface texture.
I also have trialed an early stage of the bridge in the model seen below, I feel it is a good
starting point for its development.

Johnathan Ive:

For someone who has enjoyed outsize victories in almost every venture she has pursued, The Oprah Winfrey Network will be the ultimate test of her power, even though Women claimed three of the top five spots in Forbes' magazine's 2010 Celebrity power list with singer Lady Gaga making her first entry and Oprah Winfrey retaking her No.1 position. The success is due greatly to this alchemy between chief designer and powerful boss. "I think Steve Jobs has found somebody in Jony who knows how to complete or even exceed his vision, and do it time and time again,". it went live to about 85 million households on Jan. 1, 2011 and has managed to amass a pretty impressive résumé in a short time, garnering 1.1 billion YouTube views. Ive says he and his boss speak at least once a day. In fact, their lives are very much part of the same fabric. Despite great fame and fortune, both manage to guard their privacy "with not a hint of ostentation," During her decades as the billionaire queen of daytime television, Ms. Winfrey had many highlights and Elton John says "I'd love to [work with her] in the future. She and I come from exactly the same place.



 

Crysis Valley: Initial Environment

This is my initial crysis environment, obviously needs trees and surface texture which
I will hopefully have done in the coming days.

As the image shows, I hollowed out the section enabling a walkway then manipulated
the new arc and mulitiplied it throughout the shape. The final model also has many elements
which have been expanded or extended out assisting the model to integrate into the environment.
These new detail elements have been added to emphesis the idea in my hypothesis that
the idea of light being dependant on the material it interacts with being shadowed by an obscure
life, hence these elements create shadow onto my model.

I have chosen my second parallel projection from Newton and Agnesi to be taken into
my crysis environment. The electroliquid hypothesis for this model is, "The awareness
that light was dependant on the material it interacts with was shadowed by the life that
many consider to be obscure".

Parallel Projections





Crysis Simulation #1


Axonometric Drawings





I was unhappy with my initial attempt at the axonometric prisms due to the shading and angles not representing the 90' they should have, the prisms below are my initial attempt and the prisms above are my second attempt which I am very happy with.
