Rendered Model

Rendered Model

I finished my model of my initials and rendered it on Fusion360. I chose to use a mixture of glass and cherry wood to create it which is a material combination which I thought is very attractive. The lightly frosted glass allowed the interior lines to be seen more clearly allowing the graceful shape to be on show. I also think it provides a different perspective to what a completely solid model would. You can see parts of the shape that would be hidden in any other material.

I was also able to shell the interior- I widened the top of the A and made the shell 1.5mm thick. In consequence there are two shapes on the inside going either side of the J to make up the sides of the G. Despite liking the original shape, I choose to shell it because I thought it would provide a different perspective to the shape. I am exploring what possibilities are available outside the most obvious.

This is the view from the G. One can see the effect of the light glancing off the glass. By choosing to have a reflection on my ground plane, I have ensured that you can see the shape despite some of it being almost invisible. I love how smooth it is. I love how it has developed from a very solid object to an object that appears very fragile and graceful.
