Test renders sampling materials for the twisting algae pipes situated throughout the institute - carrying algae to research labs for development in biomass fuel and algae based technical textiles.
I was not happy with the first test render of a material I created in order to indicate glowing algae (left image) - I didn't mind the colour but there is not illumination to the material at the moment.
For the second test, I decided to form the rest of the pipework and set it in the context of the institute to see how the light would interact/effect the rest of the building however the material was still not "glowing"....
...... In this instance I had set the glow too intense.
Test 04 - The glowing element is far better but I still think it may be a bit too intense still when considering people are meant to be able to wait around/work within the atrium without needing to wear sunglasses indoors.
Test 05 - I am happy with the final output for this material.
