Surface Project

The prompt for this project was to create a surface. In discussing this project the idea of an elevation came up, and I took that idea and ran with it. I imagined a sweeping landscape with many different elevation changes. My first try at illustrating my idea was modeling with foam, I spent about 4 hours shaving away a little block of foam until I gathered some resemblance of what I wanted. Then I was told about the C & C machine. To use it, you needed an Rhino file of what you wanted. To create the landscape I took some basic solids and used the drape command to create a smooth, flowing surface. I decided wood would be a good medium because the grain and the laminated pieces of wood would grant what looked like elevation lines.
