Final photoshop sketch- fusion of 2d and 3d collages of my bedroom and general ideas for my designs. 

Front yard sketch for my wooden model.

Initial bedroom mockup in fusion 360. 

Cardboard model composite Photoshop. 

First composite photoshop, with my wooden model. 

  A 3D collage of my bedroom, its focal points, and what I consider important inside it: based off the 3D paper and photo models seen in the week 5 introductory lecture to making models. 

Floor plan of my house made out of softwood, string and nails: seeing as how my home discipline is city planning, and floor plans are often a big part of gaining development approval to start building, I chose this way of viewing a place to live, rather than 3d. 

Bedroom made out of cardboard, specifically food packaging, at 1:2 scale (the paper was at 1:10 and the house 1:13)

Wooden house model based off my front yard/lawn, made out of 3mm plywood, astroturf, rope, and put together using hot glue. 

My paper model of my living room, with a cut grid pattern to showcase light for the week 6 activity. 

While this task wasn't as difficult as expected, as my proficiency with fusion 360 grew of the course of the past few weeks, it certainly was a challenge and the move from the 3d design to the 2d illustrator drawing took some time.  

I realised that in my original model I forgot to make it hollow, so I used the shell tool with 2mm thickness. I also converted into an STL file so it would be ready for submission. 

For my materials, I first started off with brass and increased the brightness to making it more saturated. I picked brass because the shape of my model resembled a brass musical instrument.  The second material was a flecked, metallic green paint because it resembles the wall in my room that ended up being a focal point of many of my real life models.  And lastly, I picked a glossy black as a simple way to show the the shape and  curvature of the model, and if this were a     situation in which I had to demonstrate what I had made, I would want at least one model that is simple and shows its design with clarity. 

I changed the model to my living room to add more detail in the environment and furniture, but kept the scale and added the grid design (to represent my mesh back door) to implement light, with the stickman to act as a reference to scale.

I used the letters A, S, and O to construct the shape: while I didn't have the same troubleshooting issues as Russel in the tutorial, my first try had the shapes drawn haphazardly and not parallel to each other.  Trying to move the sketches proved difficult, so I just restarted the model until the shape was to my liking. 

Mockup/first drafts of what I might want the models of my living space/room to look like, also just getting a general feel for fusion 360 and all its properties for the rest of the assignment. 

Made at a 1:20 scale, whilst the cardboard equivalent is at 1:10 scale. Working with cardboard was much easier and assembling was more precise, however cutting and sizing the paper was easier than cardboard.
