The Wizards Villa (❍ᴥ❍ʋ) [Castle Project]

(˵•́◡•̀˵)━✧.*    The Wizard's Villa *✲☆⋆(˘ᴗ˘ ) ⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ This project was a great stretch to get back into the groove of Rhino. I used it over the summer in small bursts, but probably not as much as I should have. Either way this was a lot of fun! Boolean difference was the main command I used. I basically made 'stamps' of shapes to mold the basic geometry with fun indents and design the arches and windows of the building. The balcony's were made by hollowing out a rectangle, with arch shapes imprinted in. The fence was made from a star shape and a circle stamped into a simple skinny rectangle. I used basically all the basic shapes, like triangles, circles, rectangles, and of course polygons. My reference was both castles and rich people vacation homes, since the concept I was going off of was a wizard's vacation home.  Some challenges I encountered was mostly just remembering commands for different actions I wanted to do, and just re-familiarizing mysel...

Objectified Response: The Flip Phone

   ıllıllı THE MOTOROLA RAZR ıllıllı For my response to the 'Objectified' documentary, I decided to make a Motorola RAZR, a phone popular in the 2000s. I was inspired mostly by the phone discussed in the Japanese section of the documentary. I really liked its bevelled, cubed off design, made by Naoto Fukasawa. I also felt a wave of nostalgia when it cut through all the flip phones, and discussed them like they were cutting edge technology. It made me think about the old ‘culture’ around flip phones, and how they came in a wide variety of colours and tons of phone charms! Or when headphone jacks were used primarily for phone charms and not actual headphones.  I really liked all the analog and 70s-50s themed objects seen throughout the film, and it was super interesting to see how much designs have changed over the years. Like now, everything is so smooth and streamlined, as well as simplified. Back then, things were more ‘chunky’. I suppose this relates back to the documen...

Reverse Engineered Object: Progress Update One

 This week has been very hectic, but I still managed to do decent groundwork for this project. I mostly focused on mapping out and figuring out commands I could use, and getting used to the digital calipers. Here's all I've gotten done so far! First I got down basic measurements for every single piece. Of course I will be double checking as I work, but this really helped me break it down and make it look less intimidating. The casing is definitely going to be the hardest part. Lots of filleting, smoothing, and working with curves. Plus, it should be accurate enough to snugly hold the spring cage in it the framing meant for it. I did manage to get some of the shapes into Rhino and mess with rendering a bit. There are small intricacies I'd like to add, like little ridges of plastic and making sure it's evenly hollow throughout. These will be revisited later, as right now I just wanted a base to work from. I honestly can't wait to see how the clear plastic will look re...
