Assignment 1

This project was intended for the exploration of shadow and light. I realized through analysis that I could manipulate the filtering of light through variation of space. By adding differing wall heights, and a number of different planes I could successfully do so. Originally I had a curved structure and wasn't able to get many interesting shadows. By doing a more linear structure the second time around I was able to have more control over the light distribution, and could purposely direct the light. I used sketch up as my program and realized that it is much more compatible for the rendering of linear space. Dispite its limitations I chose sketch up because it has the most simple interface. I am a beginner at the 3D modeling and thought that I would benefit more from mastering this program, so it will be easier to move on to a more difficult program when neccessary.
