My leaf was created using an image in photoshop and using the bump technique in 3ds. Other techniques also include using the soft selection tool in order to curve and make the leaf look realistic. The bump effect brings out the definition of the leaf, this is just one of many ways of bringing out realistic characteristics in 3Ds

This moodboard is of different types of Fungi. Fungi varies in colour, appearance, shape and size, poisonous and non-poisonous. I have decided to do my third stamp on fungi because they are all unique but still have the same characteristics (a bit like humans really). For example they are all different but you can tell it is a mushroom or fungi because of the way it looks!

Parrot and DNA moodboard

This moodboard consists of images of parrots. I have decided to do a stamp on these because there is such a vast variety of colours involved with them!!

This is a moodboard of DNA and things that are related to it. I quite like the idea of having an adults hand with babies in it..this represents human life. Another idea i like is the sperm and the egg, but would it be appropriate for a stamp i ask??

I made the chess piece by using the lathe tool after creating a 2d image in illustrator and then importing it into Max.

I made the coil by using a helix and using the roofing tool in Max.

Une Banane

This is my second attempt to make a banana using 3D studio Max. My first wasnt worth an upload it was that bad/embarressing!

BioDiversity Mood Board

Reaction to assesment brief

From first looking at the brief I initially thought that using 3D Studio Max would be a good challenge to overcome as i have never used a 3D modelling program before.

As the final product must be a stamp, the detail must be very fine in order to bring out the importance and awareness around the design.

I am looking forward to adapting my initial ideas into their final form.
