The Finale - 1.11

Here we are facing the end of one chapter only to hop on another train, sit back down, pick up our pens and write another. It almost feels like we are ending where we began, hybridizing original designs (sounds a lot like remix culture if you ask me). This project was both a lot of fun to create as well as very challenging to find the happy medium between not only two peoples projects, but three. Phoebe was added into mine and Jillians group a couple days after the project was assigned and luckily they were both ready to put in the work. First thing we did was share screen shots of our favourite three designs and from there had the challenge to find a way that we could take aspects from each and mold them together. We went through many prototypes and often found ourselves going back to the very beginning and having to restart with the agreed upon basic shapes only to build, yet again, from there. To start, these were the objects that I created in the beginning before we had to cross them with someone else's:



The three that I chose to take forward and show the group and use for this assignment were:


Jillians Shapes chosen for the assignment:


Phoebes shapes chosen for the assignment:


Here are the sketches that I made:


As you can see, I really wanted to keep the starred triangle shape. The drapery from Phoebes design was also very intriguing at this point. Below are some of the shapes that surfaced from my cross-pollination attempts (that was a joke - and yes it was funny) but didn't quite make the cut.


Jillians concepts:


Phoebes concepts:

As you can see, most of them build upon one another. We knew from the beginning that we wanted to keep 1. Twist and 2. Taper because they were features from our original designs that really stood out. In the end we decided that we could do this while attaching the twisted figure to a full, lofted, object. After hours of deliberation and conversation

We finally came up with a conclusion on how these will work together:



I got my wish of keeping the triangle shape, Phoebe was able to keep her drapery and Jillian the twist and taper. We were all happy with the product created! When it was run through Prusa it worked seamlessly so we had nothing left other than doing a happy dance to celebrate. This is it! Bask in all its glory because this bad boy is about to be the best 3D print you ever did see.

In the words of Porky Pig: That's all folks.

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...

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 hour...
