DSDN 104 - more concepts

Here are a couple more iterations of my original form! From this to this to this....

DSDN 104 - New concept

I like this form I created here. Still from the original form but now its almost like it has hair on top of the form or a spiky Mohawk or even a fence.  I don't think ill continue with this idea because this form looks very harsh and not soft at all. I could try modify it to a softer form and try to make it bubbly or smoother to get a soft effect.

DSDN 104 - A nice solid fluid form I have created from original form.

I like this form mainly because of the fluidity of the form itself and the feathery feel it produces and the front has a good movement feel to it, almost like the top of the front is a cliff hanger. Those tacky bits at the bottom make a fading effect to me, like its melting into the ground and fading away. So far this is my most favorite model because of the attributes of the form.

Also here are two different forms where I have enhanced the modifying tool "shell" and now it almost looks like a spartan head from the front and a screwed up sea shell from the side view. (this is looking at it very abstractly).

DSDN 104 - Melt effect.

Here's a couple of melt effects on my form. These forms represent one of my words very well which is fading. Mainly because the are fading (melting) into the ground. It could also represent movement in a way how the form moves into the ground but it really doesn't show movement all to well. And also I guess it shows the feather feel a bit by the form melting into the ground.  

DSDN 104 - Ripple effect.....

Here are some variations of ripple on my form...
I don't really like these variations of the ripple on my form and it also doesn't fit with my words I have chosen. Except the word 'movement' which could be easily scene in the variations below. These models almost act like a tsunami or a earthquake graph which represents movement well but and I guess it could represent fading a little.

 Playing around with the wave lengths heights of the wave etc..

DSDN 104 - Twist effects

Here are two views on my form that has been twisted more and more and more... 
I REALLY like the last twist model (the one on the right) mainly because of the circular twist it shows which is what I'm going for. It looks a bit sharp at the moment so maybe I could develop that twist into a much more softer form so it more or less represents a the feel of a feather. then maybe I could develop it into a fading motion by thinning down each side or just one side which would create the effect of fading. Also the twirls in the twist is a good representation of movement, almost like a spring.

DSDN 104 - Orignal testers

Here is my progress on soildworks so far! Here you can see the image im using and my process on the model.

Here is a new 3D model i've made! I like this because it has a nice flow to it!

Okay so here is my orignal form that I made in soildworks then imported to 3DS Max. Pretty simple form.

And......Here's the outcome after playing around with some effects in 3DS Max....

These here are just testers and seeing what each effect produced.
