I did all that!? - 1.12

This is the end *cries in rhino7*

I will truly miss the work put in and the objects designed! There is good news though (some could call it a light at the end -or start- of the tunnel) - this is only the beginning of our creative journey. The years that we get to be excited about and the times when we will create our best works are still ahead. Let us breathe in the pandemic fresh air and exhale deeply, simultaneously speaking life into our journey. 

OBJECTIFIED

I fell in love with some random chair that showed up in one of the scenes of the video (pictured here in the bottom right). When I tried to re-create it, I found that there were too many tapering edges for Tinkercad to be able to comprehend. I was convinced that I knew exactly what I was doing and that it was going to work out perfectly; in the bottom left of this image you can see how far my attempts got me. I changed gears and thought of changing the shape of the chair (this attempt is seen in the upper right). After hours of sitting with this design, having a sort of love-hate relationship with it, I chose to scrap my Plan B and move to a new Plan B 2.0: a response piece to the original image featuring a table and a chair of my own making. They have the curving edges, play with the same futuristic style and are modern enough to actually be found in a 21 cen. home. These would be things to find either within the home (chair being for use in the dining room and table for use as a side piece in the den). The middle and upper left images were my final objects using the various pieces already created but simply re-purposed.


REMIX

This project was one of my favourites. Although we were still restricted to Tinkercad at beginning of this project and minorly had access to MeshMixer, I really enjoyed having the freedom to do anything. My very first creation for the project is pictured in the bottom left, it was a deer head mixed with a butterfly body (I called it a butter-deer). My successes in this project was, as I already mentioned, being able to play around and see what types of ideas I had lying around.

PAPERCRAFT

This project was a very good mix of technicality and workability. I went in thinking that everything was going to work out fine from the beginning but was left with a rude awakening when I actually received my printed pieces. "They're a lot smaller than I anticipated," I thought to myself. I actually had to scrap a couple portions from the original design because I knew there was no way it would work in the end. Another part that perplexed me was the fact that it didn't stand in real life the same way that it did in Rhino *SURPRISE* who would of thought!? I was so sure that I had this assignment in the bag from the very beginning but was rudely awakened by the technical side of this creation and how much work it was actually going to take.



HYBRID

I had a lot of fun with this one! To me, it was a major throwback to our remix project so it had the nostalgic feels. It was cool to see how far we had all come since then and how much our skills had improved. This assignment for sure had its challenges and those are bound to come when you have two or more creative minds that think very differently working on the same project (let alone the same object because now you all literally have to think on the exact same path and agree upon a single design). We prevailed though and are better people and artists because of it! I don't know about my teammates but, I am super happy with how this object turned out.


may we meet again soon,

Folding Things - 1.7

For this assignment, my idea was to explore varying difficulties of objects just to see, formally speaking, what can be made and how things fit together while still maintaining a planar surface. I used this assignment purely for the purposes of practice and ideation for the next stage, taking the time to seek out different opportunities. Without further ado, these are my geometric creations: 1. I knew that I wanted to start with something simple to give myself room for building. This is a simple square rotated on top of another square, connected using the loft feature. Because it was an easier creation I wanted to show a couple different ways of unwrapping it. 2.  Moving into more complex shapes, I still wanted to maintain, roughly, the same difficulty as the previous creation. Again, because of the simplicity, here are two ways of unwrapping it. 3. Here is where things started to get more complicating. I added more layers. The unrolling process was a bit more difficult than the pr...

Refined and Dignified - 1.3

 Mesh Mashup V.2 Welcome back to another edition of the mesh mashup madness. The contents that lie herein give each viewer a sneak peek into the thoughts that take over my mind every day; don't worry, it's all rated PG. For this portion of the assignment I chose to use my previous design entitled 'Get to the Chopper,' where there were three bananas suspended from an aircraft. To further that design I decided to take the input that I was given in the group critique (more will be explained below) and expand upon it. I am super excited for you to see what I made and the steps that I took to get there. First, I want to show the original. This idea came about while watching a very outlandish instagram reel where a man does very peculiar things with bananas (again, its not dirty).  The feedback that I had received on this piece was to add movement. It was mentioned that I would be able to form the ropes in such a way as to look like they are moving in the wind or to even go s...
