3D Object Design

10 Objects February 23, 2020 This week, we had to make ten unique papercraft forms in rhino then provide the folded and unfolded forms. 1)  This first form was a test run of how I can properly use the loft command and include tabs.     2) For this second form, I wanted to challenge myself a bit more so I decided to create a ring pop. 3) This form is a remake of the wallet I used when I was younger. 4)  For this papercraft form, I wanted to try a more challenging object so I created a screwdriver.   5)  I wanted to make something that was even more complex so I made an alarm clock.   6)  This form is a simple plant pot 7) I wanted to try making a more geometric form that isn't exactly representational so I made this form. 8) I wanted to experiment with more hollow forms like the plant pot from before, so I created a star-shaped bowl for this form.     9) This form is meant...

Papercraft Research (Feb 5, 2020) The article that inspired me the most out of the fifteen choices was about the papercraft duo Zim & Zoe ( Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann) and their installation of a miniature papercraft village for Hermès in Dubai titled Forest Folk . (   https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/01/colorful-paper-village-installations-for-hermes-by-zim-zou/ ) Here are images of the full project These are details from a handful of my personal favourite buildings  From how I interpret the piece, I would assume that there may be a sense of satire behind the piece as these subjects that come from nature are industrialized and made into buildings for mini imaginary creatures. Most artists that I have seen before often use a sense of satire in their work in regards to topics that they wish to spread more light on, and from first glance the topic that first comes to mind for me is industrialization and how nature is being a...

Mesh Mashup: HD Renders (January 29, 2020) The Toilet Sharpener

Mesh Mashup: Selection and Refinement (January 27, 2020) The Mashup that I chose for this project is the Toilet Sharpener. It is a toilet that has a sharpener in the space of the toilet bowl. This mashup was due to my hatred for pencil sharpeners that don't come with anything to collect the shavings. The main idea behind it was creating the most unconventional lid for a sharpener that has nothing to collect the pencil shavings. These are the original objects from TurboSquid and Thingiverse that I chose to mesh with each other. Here is my Tinkercad model of the mesh. And this is the refined model of the Toilet Sharpener. I experienced a problem with MeshMixer where my mashup got really wonky all over after combining the two objects and using 'Make Solid' on it. So I spent a lot of time using the sculpt refine tool to fix the rough edges and make the sharpener integrate better into the toilet. If you don't look at the design cl...

A Collection of Unsettling Combinations (Mesh Mashup) January 18, 2020 My basic understanding of remix culture (based on what we learned in class) is the use of old subjects and creating something new or similar. After learning more about mashup, I decided to make that a theme throughout the ten concepts experimenting with weird combinations to provoke thought on how we view everyday objects Here are my ten concepts: 1) Crisp Apple Lotion I specifically chose an apple because there wasn't such a large variety of free fruits (on TurboSquid) that fit the shape I was going for. The pump for the lotion used in this object matched the one I have at home so I thought it was perfect to use in this mesh mashup. The concept for this mashup is by putting literal meaning into using 'natural' and 'organic' ingredients in a household product. https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/1322129 (lid) https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/g...
