Photo of 3D Model
Used black reflective pad as a surface to bring out the light colours/shades that my 3D model has.

Here I purposely chose a simple background because my models in itself are very detailed and I didn't want to distract the viewer nor take the attention away from the iterations. Here I used a chrome surface to give a reflection of my iterations to give further information on what shapes my iterations are (reflection gives it another 'angle'). The colours (green iterations & yellow surface) came from my precedents - I wanted to use natural colours (colours derived from my precedents) without overpowering my render.

Drawings

Pieces - Basic steps in developing my images
Used Solid Works to make flat shapes then imported and modified on 3DS Max.

(1) Imported my simple and different shapes from Solid Works - these shapes came from the inspiration of my precedents.

(2) Arranged them together - eventhough the shapes were originally simple, I organized them in a way where it looks complex.

(3) Used modifiers

 (4) Replicating the object - I had gone through the steps several times in order to get my 3 iterations

Used direct lighting - torch, with white surface

Black surface (non reflective)

Black reflective surface (different from the one above) also used lighting from a lamp in order to create environment

Here are some images that I think have a nice pattern/composition:

Regarding the structure of my model, I experimented mostly between sectioning, slotting and/or tying my model together:

(1) Focused on the twisted effect that my 3DS Max model had:

(2) Twists on the side of the model and took the cross shape that my 3DS Max model would have if sectioned.

(3) Here I applied the two points that my 3DS Max model has which go through the sectioned cuts:



 (4) I took the shape of my 3DS Max model but without its twist, it is tied around the edge to hold together also for part of the design in itself:

(5) Kept the straight effect but added more sides which are slotted and tied together in the middle:
