My final drawings for my final boat shed after going through peer evaluation. My boat shed communicates my mihimihi through a design based on my childhood hobby of origami. The deeper a person walks into the boat shed the more folds appear representing various events in my life though most people visiting probably wont realise. The crane at the end of the room represents myself as it was one of the first pieces of origami I learnt.
Some of my initial attempts at trying to bring my design into Cryengine. I quickly learnt that because I had exploded the original boat shed before I started designing, it meant that I could only change its colour as a whole instead of in separate parts.
I included a version of my boat shed without a roof to see how the sunlight plays on the interior.
Luckily I managed to find some preset building skins that just configured the design for me and made it look more building like.
Here is a draft attempt at making the film. I tried making several films before I realised that the free version of fraps could only take films of up to 29 seconds. But this is more or less a walk through of my boat shed during the day time.
These are some plans for my boat shed. I had the idea of an illusion themed one but as I was thinking about what would be portrayed in my mihimihi from it I realised that it didn't seem like the best way to represent myself. I ended up changing to something that was probably a bigger part of my life which was origami.
My original idea for my boat shed was an origami boat shed where everything was basically giant origami pieces from my mihimihi.
A I progressed I was suggested the idea of an atmospheric room instead of a physical mihimihi room. I decided to draw out a few plans for this type of idea.
My intention was to try and create a room where as you walk deeper in then there are more folds in the walls and is like bringing someone else into my mind when I was younger and completely engrossed in my origami. Sort of like what I would have pictured my mind to look like when I was busy making something.
I looked at what I had created and it seemed a little bare of my mihimihi so I thought of combining the idea of an atmospheric room with my original idea of an origami boat shed.
My final design was similar to my first more atmospheric design but I based some of my folds on one of the first pieces that most children learn in origami which is the origami crane. I feel like this is a better way to portray my mihimihi rather than completely trying to fit my whole history into the whole room as I feel like it will be too much for some people to take in. This is a much more simple design where people will still be able to learn who I am while not being overwhelmed.
Experimenting with the idea of overflow.
