Basic elements of morphological composition

The composition of morphological elements and three-dimensional composition Any three-dimensional modeling is composed of three elements. One is the morphological element, the other is the functional element, and the third is the aesthetic element. Morphological elements refer to the necessary elements that constitute a form, which is any morphological phenomenon existing in the environment: shape (composed of points, lines, surfaces and bodies), color, texture and space. Functional elements refer to the functions of the organization contained in the form. Aesthetic elements require the integration of all elements to achieve perfect modeling. According to their sources, the three-dimensional forms we come into contact with in real life can be divided into two categories: First, natural forms refer to various visible or tangible forms formed under natural laws. It exists regardless of human will, such as mountains, trees, waterfalls, streams, stones and so on. Natural forms can be divided into organic forms and inorganic forms. Organic form refers to a renewable form with growth function, which gives people a comfortable, harmonious, natural and simple feeling, but it needs to consider the relationship between the form itself and external forces to exist reasonably; Inorganic form refers to a relatively static form with no growth function. The natural shape of the result beyond the control of human will is called "accidental shape", which gives people a special and lyrical feeling, but it has the shortcomings of being difficult to obtain and rash. Irregular shapes, which are disordered, deliberately seek to express certain emotional characteristics, giving people a lively, diverse, light and changeable feeling, but improper handling will lead to chaotic and scattered consequences. The second is artificial form. Refers to the form that human beings consciously engage in the combination or composition of visual elements. It is the result of conscious and purposeful human activities. Such as buildings, cars, ships, tables and chairs, clothes, sculptures, etc. Among them, buildings, cars, ships, etc. Design their forms from the practical function, and sculpture is a pure art form with the form itself as the object of appreciation. This makes the artificial form have different requirements according to its different uses.
