Chunks and Bits

 For this project, we will be taking apart an object, dissecting its parts, then measuring each part and putting it into Rhino! Here is what I have selected: °\(^▿^)/° For this project I was super interested in taking apart an old piece of tech. So I went to the thrift store and did some digging. My first find was simple- a cassette tape! I think it will be my first choice in the end, out of all my objects. Also, if you have good eyes, you will see my cats paw in one of the corners :> Second is a choice I'm on the fence about. With this object, it would depend on how complex the inside ends up being. I really like all the clicky buttons and chunky shape, so if things work out I would totally work with it. Here's my 'if all else fails' pick! Though I still think this would be fun to dissect then put back together. Of course I still like the bright neon colours and think the end product (the dissected model in Rhino) would look super fun. Overall, I am most interested ...

 Real World Research: From these findings, I mostly drew from the cat themed ones for my own design. I also liked the bold colors of the floor murals, as well as the simplicity they had. I wanted my design to be simple, cute, but bold and eye catching. The Design: There are actually two that I created. I'll put both here but know that I'm leaning towards the rainbow demon one. I love both but one works more like a pattern then the other- that other one was more of a test to see if I could make cool button designs. Here are the funky fellas ↶( *`ω´ )Ψ Extra design :> ε=٩(●❛ö❛)۶

(˵•́◡•̀˵)━✧.*    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...

 Milestone Projects ---------------------- Objectified Response For this project, after watching the documentary, I found myself most interested and inspired by the old flip phones seen in the early 2000s. Since Motorola's and Blackberries were things I grew up around. Specifically I really liked Naoto Fukasawa's design, and how it was super cubic and rounded off. With this project, I quickly found that making a model as smooth and well put together as Naoto's would not be possible within the time allotted. So instead I modelled it off of a Motorola Razor. I'd say the most challenging part of this would have been getting the curved aspects of the model, that occurred on the inside and the top of the phone. The bottom part of the phone, where the vents are, also proved tricky and I went through a lot of prototypes before finally coming to something that at least resembled the original phone. Mesh Mash-up This one went a lot of directions, and started out way different th...

Demon Fella For this project, me and a partner choose a few objects from the 6 concepts we developed a week ago. We then decide on which ones will combine into one the best, and create a hybrid of our different ideas. He was a combination of one of 6 random objects created by me, and Kailyn Humphreys. Here are the objects below:                        Mine, and then Kailyn's: Out of his shapes, we decided on this for a basis. Out of mine, we like the idea of this one the most For mine, the top was not planar, sadly, so we didn't go with it for the base shape. Essentially we took the idea of stars and the basis of Kailyn's vase with horns, and combined those ideas. We moved into the concept art stage, Kailyn taking over this part of the process. He drew lots of creepy cute creatures with ideas on its surface texture, shape, and how it would bend and squish. He gave me tons of ideas to work with when moving this into 3D! With his...
