I’m planning on trying
epoxy/silk- investigating silk as a fibre reinforcement
sugar reinforced cotton as an edible fabric.
metal weaving into fabrics and its properties.
using wicking fabrics for industrial uses, eg keeping a moisture sensitive device dry/ reduce the humidity about it
fabrics are dynamic, they move. air pushes them around people interact with them. but you can set them and design them to be static, sails, sun shades, fibreglass.
further definition of fabrics is any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.).that covers anything from felts to complex weaves.
also density of fabrics affects how they feel. some can be more than a kilogram per square metre and if made into a garment would feel very heavy. for ex. denim is a relatively heavy fabric. on the other extreme fabrics can be be very light weight. getting down to tens of grams per metre, such as silk.
Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.).
subset of textiles. can be used for clothing - shelter (tents) - construction (fibreglass/composite materials)
properties: malleable, varied texture, durable under scrunching?, can be waterproof/ strechy/stiff/ have highly directional strength. synthetic or organic. can be combined with othermaterials/interwoven for improved properties.
properly started project 2, I have a scene set for the first 400 frames and am starting to build the next 300 frame segment. picked my music and it fits really well with the feel of the video so far. and I’m starting my first HD (720) render of the first 200 frames. pretty pleased to have the music set early, last time I picked to too late and it really screwed the impact of the video.
I started playing with modifiers next. I didnt really have a clear idea of what I was aiming for in the piece but I wanted to make the object dynamic. what I didnt like about damian hirst’s Diamond skull was how static the subject was. I used smooth and deliberate modifiers and controlled using the curve editor to keep the motions fluid.
