Overall Idea: Shadow art idea

By: Hector Lopez

The idea is to a collection of random metal shapes suspended in the area in from of a backdrop and have a sun in the distance move
and shine on the random metal pieces, that will creature an image with their shadows.

This here is close to what I would like to create.
The angle will be ideal to show that a sun will move the shadows and show the image form within time.

I will use almost random abtract shapes that will make a shape with their shadows when light is little them in a certain way.

Ray Tracing for shadow replication and help the overall perspective.

Examples:

Starting

The perspective will be at an angle like in the image above it will have a small floor and wall acting as a background and canvas for shadows. Abstract shapes will be placed and suspended in the air adjacent to the wall, behind the camera will be some diffuse lighting that will shine on the abstract shapes making the image of a chicken in simplistic fashion. There will also be slight animation of the camera moving, not much movement but enough to show that from a specific angle the shadows make an image and from another it doesn't.

-Basic layout-
rectangle shape, cube/abstract shape, lighting adjustments, camera movement on key press, alignment of shapes, more objects

-Panel shape made-
Finally made a brand new shape using the same ray tracing methods and replaced some things.

-Things are coming together-
It's slowly taking shape now roughly half of the shadow art is finished.

-Actual format-
more progress to the actual shadow art, better format with a spotlight focusing on shadows and a new camera position.
