A-B-C

This is my final image of the a-b-c equation. I chose to post a wire frame because I like the complexity of the detail that i achieve with this view. I have chosen to use the 'frogs-eye' view because I like the idea of this structure being a house. Almost like under construction or this could be building site of some sort too.


This image is a close up of the front view cropped. I like it because the detail becomes even more clear here and the complexity seems to increase with zooming in too. It is now less apparent weather the lines are cuts or just lines on the surface although I know through the process that the Lines are actually cuts, but also that contributes to the success of the 2D version of my model.





This image shows the side view of my little house and I have to say I do really like it. The detail is extraordinary and the patterns it creates are intriguing, reminding me of a motherboard of a computer or some similar kind of network like system. In the previous equation I had come to a similar outcome in the sense of ideas but aesthetically the two are very different from each other.

This is the front view of my object or house which I like to call it. this is an ordinary view of my piece while constructing it on Rhinoceros. Not all the detail at the back is visible but because of the straight geometry look and the front on view it becomes almost a floor plan or some kind of drawing like model. This is only fictional modelling but you can start to recognise it as a more or less real sculptural object or house.

an experimental render using materials applied to the surface of the object on a two colour faded background that contrasts with the model itself quite well. but nevertheless I am missing the detail so i will post an image of the wire frame that is a lot more successful.

This image shows a further step in the a-b-c equation. It becomes clear that even though the object is becoming more complex, the dull 3D version does still not do any good for my final pieces and some or a lot of the complexity gets lost. I want to try some experimental renders as that might change anything but if it doesn't I know what to do

This image is a close up of the second step in 3D. contrasting it with the image below makes it clear what i mean with the wire frame being more successful than the actual model in 3D. This is because when the object is a wire frame you can also see the cuts and modifications on the back side at the same time as you can see the front ones, making the object a lot more complex which I like.






This image shows the second step in a wire frame. Again I have to say I almost like the wire frame version better that the 3D one.
it becomes a lot more pictorial as in 2D compared to the solid models i have showed previously. Maybe that is a tangent i could go on?

This image shows a different version of the first step after i had reversed the very first version. I think i just moved the the variables or the parts to different areas of part A constructing a different outcome than before. Now one leg is missing and I believe that greater abstraction would be achieved with this version and also if I would continue in this manner. But do I want abstraction?

This version is quite funky. I like how the elongated cylinders seem completely dismantled and broken apart almost. to me this version of the first step seems a lot more sculptural. It looks like someone chopped of parts of the one part with a butchers knife using the a-b-c equation. The half shapes are quite interesting but unfortunately if I continue in this manner there might not be much surface area or object left unless...... Scale?

Once I had proceeded through the first step I asked myself weather it would make a difference if I would swap around the variables, as the two of them would be subtracted from the other one. so I reversed my process and tried out three different versions of the same equation. Also I started to play with scale in this equation especially as i wanted to get the most possible surface area at the end, because other wise I might not be able to take the equation through more than a few steps.

this image shows my first step in the a-b-c equation. I subtracted b and c from a and this house like model ended up being what I got out of it. i like the round shaped cuts and the round slabs that were cut of at the left right and are now floating in space. This version almost reminds me of Gordon Matta Clarks works where he cuts into buildings creating a negative space just like here in this image.
