PROJECT 1Av2: DIGITAL MODEL

These are the stills of the new digital models, using the lines from both the old drawings and the new drawings in an attempt to create a more graceful form.

The first set of models corresponds the video where Yuval goes across the screen.

Isometric view showing the control lines; the darker lines are those used in the first version; all lines correspond to the drawings in the previous post.

The next set of renderings corresponds to the movie where Yuval is going into the background.

Upon creation of these models, the newer models appear to be more compact and rounded than the previous versions. However, in terms of re-presenting the original animation it came from, the first model is more successful than the second model. The first model has a flowing feel to it, like a ribbon floating in space, while the second looks like a twisted up ball of fabric.

PROJECT 1A: DIGITAL MODELS

These are a series of images created from three dimensional models created and rendered in FormZ.
This model is based off the drawings for the viewpoint where Yuval goes across the screen. It is a nurbs surface generated off of the lines connecting Yuval's extremities. Note it is a relatively tube-like form up to the point where Yuval's jump is recorded.
This is the same model, same view, but with the control lines shown as cylinders to show how the form was derived. As from before, green is the head, red is the right hand, yellow is the left hand, magenta is the left foot, and cyan is the right foot.

This is a set of orthagonal views of the model in the order of top, right side-end, and front. Note the front view. This is the view from which the lines from the drawings were extracted.This is the model created from the second set of drawings based off the view point where Yuval is moving away from the camera. This twisted form is the result of control lines that were drawn in a three dimensional manner, whereas the first model's lines were created two dimensionally.
The control lines are shown from the same view.

These two orthagonal views show the model from the front and top.
This is the view from the right. I kept it separate to make a point of how this view of this model corresponds to the view the first model was made in (front view).
