Ripping it apart just to put it together again 2.4.2

The item has been chosen, disassembled, mapped out, and ready to be included into the re-modeled hall of fame (well, not yet, but soon).

IT'S A KITCHEN EGG TIME. I received this item for Christmas last year but never had to the heart to tell the giver that it didn't work so this item has been sitting in my kitchen for nearly a full year, doing nothing but collecting dust and waiting for its time in the spot light.

Taking this tiny mechanism was actually really difficult (and I ended up breaking a small part in the process -but no fear, it shouldn't affect the measurements or final outcome at all).

Now that I have the egg fully disassembled I plan to start measuring everything and inputting said measurements into Rhino (maybe a Word doc first just so I can be sure that I won't lose any vital information). I numbered all the gears and the base that they sat on in the order that are to be put back in place to further ensure that nothing is lost or misplaced.

It's safe to say that I am really excited to put this item into Rhino at last and watch all the small pieces come together.

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...
