Exp 2 - Week 3 - Final crysis wars model and 36 custom light to dark textures.

36 custom textures - light to dark.





 The three textures I used in my final model are:



Final Crysis Wars Model:
Electroliquid Aggregation:
"If communication with crazy people can heal them, in that interaction we might take on some of their craziness."


For the areas that weren't textured with custome images, I chose to keep the rest a white colour to give the structure a very sterile feel, as if it were a doctor's office or a science lab. It remains bare so the occupants are able to bare themselves. (I actually made it a  very light grey, but cryengine doesn't pick that out very much)

 Here we can see Freud's workspace. The space uses the idea of communication to derive it's shape. This area has multiple transitions between zones. The lowest box is submerged in the water, giving access to the pool area. A hole in the ground links this space with that of the submerged world, while the steps to the side lead to the higher areas. The highest accessible area in Freud's workspace leads to the base of the spiral staircase, which allows this space to communicate with the one above.


 The spiral stair leads upward to Newton's workspace. Wherever you are in structure, the constant sight and sound of the waterfall reinforces Newton's law that "what goes up must come down".

  Newton's workspace contains two distinct levels. The higher of the two, where the spiral ends, has a perfect vantage point onto the balcony of the level below where he could test his rules of physics regarding gravity.


The textures I used are placed so they reflect the electroliquid aggregation. They are used in a light to dark order, but with dark at the top, which seems to contradict Newton's ideas on gravity, where the heavier should be falling. This creates a chaos, or craziness, that the structure resolves through its communicating areas.
 This video demonstrates a walkthrough of the structure. It's unfortunately in a very low quality. Initially the videos were in high definition, but needed to be joined, and the only way I could do that was with freeware I found, which dramatically lowered the quality.
