So moving on from last term, I started playing around with liminal space. The reason I decided to play around with this is because I wanted to test out texture mapping, scale and what I could build in blender from the basic shapes it provides. In the image below I wanted to play around with water effects and texture mapping. I downloaded a generic pool tile images and scaled it to fit onto the 'Pool' walls. I then wanted to fill the background with shapes to see how the environment responded to it. I personally find this image okay. It doesn't really 'talk to me' and when people see it they automatically think I made it with Ai which is quite flattering but also offensive in a way. I do really like the colours of the environment and how it interacts with the water. The image vaguely reminds me of some of Salvador Dali's work
This next image was my second test. You can see that I've experimented with different types of geometry and adding arches. With this image I really like how the water looks, it looks inviting, like I really want to swim in it. I do not like the arches though, they need 'cuts' to make it more arched and i really don't like the texture I have applied to the walls either, I think I may have inserted it wrongly so it's not facing the correct direction or I may have scaled it wrongly on the X or Y axis. But I am still learning so its just another rock in the road.
I do not like the image below. The sheet ghosts do not work. The layout of the room doesn't work and the same with the texturing on them. I only like the water effect.
This image below is also adequate, you can see I've attempted to get more creative with the structure of the hallway, adding cylinders to to break the straight walls up. I really like the water in this image as well, with this one I added something called an emitter below the water to light it up to give it that inviting feel and that cool blue/green look, you can also see that in some parts of the ceiling there is a reflection of the water.
