Task 2 Week 4

Ideas and concepts behind my X and Y Cactus Model

I went for two different styles and concepts for my X and Y extrusion of the Cactus Model. The core concept of my Exp 1 was about extreme explosion. And i have adapted that idea again both X and Y models.

In X% Model, I simulated the explosion ofExtreme Explosion are those explosions beyond our imagination such as Nuke or Planet Explosions. In Exp 1, i used multiple impacts to show extreme explosion. The blast of a explosive barrel in Gmod would trig multiple explosions around it with a smaller blast range. Again in Exp 2, i have used the concept of multiple impact and extreme explosion (planet explosion) to remove percentage part of the Cactus Building. Multiple impact demonstrated in Exp 1 which was a explosive barrel dropping from high altitude; explode inside a stack of plastic barrels and triggs another explosion above. In X%, this are shown by the huge epicentre located at the bottom of the Cactus Building when the explosion occurs. In order to show its extreme side, i have made the the epicentre hole and cavities similar to a planet explosion showing below.














I mainly used lofted cut for simulating holes and marks penetrated bythe blast. The loft cuts are cone shapeded as the blast photo show below.










For Y% Model, I used the flamable explosive barrels of Gmod as the key concept of extrusion in the Cactus Model. It is a quite different approach comparing to the X% because all the loft cuts are curving inside the building instead of straight cone shaped in Y%. The epicentre is located at the very centre of the building. The scale of the epicentre is very small since i want to convey the concept of extreme flamable explosion where the epicentre doesn't produce as much energy as the flame blasted outwards.
