Design Brainstorm’s

 The details of the design work has been refined for the last time before starting this process, I can now set aside the specifics for each element in a quick brainstorm layout.

Landscape Research

I have the challenge of building an environment from my imagination and the facets that inhabit it, when you think about it our civilisation still hasn’t truly been discovered yet, there and millions and millions of things still yet to be discovered, as human beings technology forever advances so does our knowledge which leads to an on-going understanding of our planet.

I’m moving swiftly into the production stage and sourcing information for my environment, details from scientific inputs are being established, things like microscopy, biological organisms, virus’s, medical components are the kinds of features that capture the essences of my environmental look, as they have unfamiliar tendencies’ this works well in contrast to the natural commonalities of the other elements of the scene I shall be producing.

Another area of investigation has been around the nature of slim mold. Its appearance scaled up for example brings the question of strangeness as it’s not a largely recognisable element in the environment ,something which we can relate to being largely recognisable is trees. What I’ll be looking to do is perhaps use a few specimens of a slim mold and reconstruct it or perform some implementation with my own design work.

Laying out the foundations of an alien planet world can be quite a mystery however I’m lucky to have Stanislaw Lem description from the novel, I’d like to take on board his thoughts of the environment and fuse them with how I see his depicted world. Some of the nature has been analysed, here we see my motivation of the terrain the environment sits on.

Eden Environment Evidence

All the evidence/ideas and knowledge will be born out of the novel for my transcription, the content will show the extent of the world I’m about to embark on, a great deal of the text describes my necessary components however not every detail will be given, which in turn allows for my imagination to come into its own, having experience assembling a world from words so to speak in the past has boost my confidence on achieving success once again. I feel that the challenges I face for this project reflect the nature of the intended goal which is to accomplish a strong resolved final animation.

After reading through carefully I noted down some of the key areas which allowed discussion to take place, perhaps a certain subject which could be subdued. I also began to build some kind of realisation (basic picture) of the planet Eden by quickly sketching areas I thought-out whilst reading, these are some of images already posted with various notes. The following references are taken from the novel.(Stanislaw Lem Eden English Translation Harcourt Brace Jovanovich published: 1989)

After re-evaluating the text I’ve pointed out the area’s in which the description belongs, in the green highlight depicts the environment aesthetics, the red corresponds to the ship and the yellow relates to the vehicle (defender).
