This is my Final Texture mapping project. I wanted to play with the concept of the natural being influenced by the manmade. To that end, I used the image of the hawk and overlaid it with images of metal studs, a gem, various knitted and woven items, and the texture of a napkin.
There were some effects that I wanted but was not able to find an item to scan. To avoid copyright issues, I chose open source images that are free to the public. I used two different background images that I merged, and neither of them are my original work. Another image that I borrowed was the gem used to create the hawks eye. However, I used seven different scanned textures of my own to transform the image.
Here is the original open source stock image:

I think this image successfully transformed from ordinary to full of texture. It really brings the eye around the photo and like the uses of textures.
ReplyDeleteI really like the textures you overlaid to make the picture become almost whimsical in a way. Instead of making the eagle look ferocious and vicious, the design in the upper left corner seems feminine, funny, and almost cartoon-like. By using the textures you created a new theme compared with the original picture.
ReplyDeleteThis image seems to keep the natural look of the hawk while the textures give it more depth.
ReplyDeleteThe two golden button under the hawk beak and on it's wing don't do much for me and make the eagle look less real. I think without those gold button's at first glance the hawk looks real but upon further inspection you realize textures have added to the hawk's body.
The background would be better if it were less opaque. This would allow the hawk to really pop and instead of blending in with the background.
This was one of my favorite texture mapping assignments in the class. The way you changed the textures while still staying in the original photo's color scheme is really effective. The way you added different suddle shapes in the background, such as the circles to the left made your picture appear to be moving.
