Rationale

As you can see by my inspiration images that my design is based on are very construction / industrial themed. This is reflected in the materials of slab concrete and diamond plating. My skecthup and D.E designs left an easy route for where to go next. what i will have the structures doing in the animation, is retracting and protracting. This will be possible because the each size group of structures fits nicely inside the one below it. The tiny ball at the top will fall at the end and when it hit the base structure this will instigate the protrating movement back into the original position. I will also have the triangular structure spinning after the protraction.

Texturising and rendering inspiration

The textures and overused materials of the massive construction site inspired my design. Diamond plating is a very glamorous metal material which is more used in the interior floors and steps of construction vehicles. Without concrete constructing the massive building which we see today would be a lot more pricey.

Reason for chosing sketch

I chose this sketch/idea to carry on with because it has both an interseting look and the element of depth intergrated into the idea already. This meant i could imagine a 3D enviroment in which these objects are the features.

Sketch Up tip

instead of using the rotate tool. select an object on the screen (blue outline) then choose the tool which has arrows in all the directions ( move/copy tool ), and place it on the shape.Red plus signs will show up. Click on any of these to rotate the shape as desired
