Assignment 6 -

3D assemblage *

Background

Both 2D and 3D materials can be cut, pasted, duplicated, repeated, erased, drawn on, flipped, torn, exagerrated, re-colored, rearranged, and mixed together infinitely to create new forms.

By enabling the use of found objects, artists can work with new ideas and examine political, personal, poetic, futuristic, past, and hybrid realities.

As artists, reusing offers the ability to act as ethnographers, surveyors, historians, and activists. It also allows for the ability to reimagine, critique, retell, challenge and quote from pieces with historical and cultural significance.

Concept

Plan, conceive, assemble, manipulate, refine, and render a 3D scene in Cinema 4D using 3D elements from various sources, into a cohesive whole, in an original way.

Choose a major thematic model and build around it using supporting models.

JUXTAPOSE at least one aspect of the scene. *

Objectives

Drawing on multiple resources for 3D Models and Materials

Combining and Manipulating 3D Objects to transform them into something else

Using a variety of techniques for 3D Modeling (cutting, joining, scaling, expanding, deforming, repeating, texturing, lighting, and rendering)

Understanding Texture Mapping to manipulate textures and build materials

Using Redshift as a renderer

Using Redshift Materials for surface design

Using Resdshift Materials for surface texture, displacement, and modeling

Definition of Collage

Juxtapose:

Definition from Meriam-Webster: : to place (different things) side by side (as to compare them or contrast them or to create an interesting effect)

"Juxtapose unexpected combinations of colors, shapes and ideas …" —J. F. T. Bugental

Options to create an interesting or contrasting effect could include:

• scale shifts
• repetition - using models and parts of models repetitively
• juxtoposing model types
• juxtoposing surface textures - materials, paint, color
• cutting, fusing, joing, melting, combining geometry
• deforming geometry
• generating new geometry - modeling methods including polygon modeling, spline modeling, volume building, etc.

Includes

Models - can come from various sources

Materials - set all materials as RS Materials - Use Redshift Nodes to connect PBR Textures for realistic materials

Lights - set all lights as RS Lights and include at least 1 Dome light and 1 additional light

Camera - Use the RS Camera for realistic camera controls
