Project Development
great,
ReplyDeletefunky design
to further develop your design, I suggest
1. to prepare sectional analysis (both: horizontal > 2 floor plans and vertical > 1 cross section) for the next meeting
just rough section to discuss your project's progress
2. I really like the modulation of the sphere's scale,
I suggest that in the next meeting we can already start to discuss refining your design e.g. adjustment to the neighboring buildings
3. I appreciate that you started to add and use the shader attributes (color, reflectivity etc.) to enhance the surface's vibrato.
I suggest you explored additional color schemes, for example the metal colors of insects, e.g.

The bug's basic color is a semi-glossy black but dependent on the view angle colors like copper, green and blue emerge.
That can be an interesting exploration into Maya or Maxwell shaders.

4. and as a last inspiration
you will need a funky entrance for your building > think of a development of the Revolving Door

5. keep having fun with the project, then it will turn out to be a great and fun design
