Week1 Lab1: Primitive breakdown & form

Ex2:
Here's my sketch of one of the robot images.


Reflection - This exercise allowed me to see more closely, what kinds of basic primitive shapes form an object, such as this toy robot. As this was just the first lesson, we have yet to start on Maya. But through this exercise, it helped me better understand that it is essential to know what primitive shapes to use to be able to form different objects. I feel that my sketches are still pretty messy. Even i, myself, am not exactly sure what i was doing.

Ex3:


Prisons, meant to be scary & powerful looking places,has its image that is reflected in the straight lines & sharp angles of the structure of the building. The prison is structured in such a way that it has a very fixed shape. It gives the feeling that it is a strong building & is unbreakable. As for the scale, the prison is built on wide open land. It's very empty & boring, yet somewhat threatening because of its size.


Whereas compared to Toontown, where most of the buildings have curved lines & has walls that are not exactly straight. To sort of present the place in a fun way & is not harmful or scary in any way. There are no exact shapes.
Shapes that one can make out from the image of the buildings in Toontown have more rounded edges & has pillars that look almost like they've been inflated. Which adds to the safe & fun image of Toontown.

Reflection - This exercise proved to be somewhat interesting as i learnt about the different forms & how they affect one's views of a place. However, it was a little difficult to answer the questions posed since i never thought about such things.
