My Bench's Heritage; Snowdonia Research

The main topic of research for BA6 is the potential of items being able to be preserved and replicated through 3D Models and so after modeling my bench, I have been looking into its links and potential to be an item which has been 'preserved'. By looking into the bench's background, and environment I think that its design could be a preservation of a certain rural style - which otherwise might be lost (if for example the skill is no longer taught).


So as part of my research into my bench's heritage, I took a closer look at the website where it is sold;

And found that it is made, and inspired by the Welsh landscape of The Snowdonia National Park. As you can image, these next images are of that area.






Here is a mood-board of images of the surrounding area where this bench was built - and the woodland it was inspired by;

I am a Second Year Games Art and Design student at Norwich University of the Arts. After exploration of a number of roles in my first year, I am now looking to graduate as a 3D Artist with applicable skills in Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush and Photoshop. I understand that my skills in this field are not there yet - but I aim to achieve this goal through consistently working through the programs in my University and Personal Projects. I love to be busy - I have always had a lot of things on my plate since the age of 7 where I successfully balanced school with Ballet, Tap, Horse-Riding, French, Piano and Singing Lessons! In the same fashion, my university schedule is just as hectic and varied; I am a Peer Mentor to first year students, Student Rep for Second Year, and President of the Enterprise Society. Like I said, I love to be busy! I am a Games Hippie - so to speak - I believe that Games if designed and harnessed in the right way, will be able to help solve many of the global issues we have today - even if it starts off in a small way. Just look at the positive effects that Facebook and Twitter have already had... When navigating my blog;
  • Works in Progress - This section is a constantly running account of all my current projects - personal and for university. It will contain reference images and website links and sometimes less than coherent posts, so be prepared!
  • Finished Pieces - This is where you will find my more polished artwork. Looking for help with Maya? Check out the posts tagged "Maya How-To's"
