OBDF 210 - Castle


   This is my process for the castle project, it's been a while since I've played with the Rhino 6 program so this was a great recap. The biggest struggle I had was trying to figure out how to BooleanDifference the tower pieces initially, I kept selecting the wrong pieces to cut out of. Mine became very symmetrical (for now?) and sort of empty inside the outer walls. 
    Started with the towers, and then I did the walls with the circular "carvings" into the top for decoration. I tried to do the entire interior design with rooms and doors but quickly realized the walls would have covered the details eventually anyways, so I just left the castle with four rooms.

    I love the how you added the curves on top of the walls, really give that castle look! If that makes sense haha. Like how you added the draw bridge too! Good job!

Papercraft Research

What is papercraft?      Papercraft, to my understanding, is a paper-made art and craft. Paper is the easy-to-find medium so it is easy for people to use paper to make things with, in our case we would be making 3d objects and understanding how folds, crease, and tabs should be connected in order to hold pieces of paper in place. Reviewing an article: Popupology      The Popupology shop papercraft caught my eyes first. On the Colossal article, scrolling through that article, everything seemed very busy and complex, which I totally love, but it's not really my style. The Popupology shop ones, on the other hand, seemed so simple but so cool that it caught my eyes. Especially the hand-cut out one, how that is just a simple cut-out flipped on the other side and having it pop out with the thumbs looking like it's intersecting, that really stood out to me. Because this reminded me of elementary and how we used to do these DIY pop-up cards for holidays, t...

Papercraft: Final Revision

My final revision of my angel figure looks like this:  Brief Summary:      In total it was a 3-hour process to laser-cut and physically put together everything. This was all made in cardstock, no other paper materials were used. Here was my inspiration (the logo/character digital design), prints of the flat design, rhino file screenshots, prototype, compared to the final.  In Detail Summary and Feedbacks:      It has slightly become a bobblehead paper figurine because of the weight and attachment from the head and the body pieces. The only parts that didn't seem to fully work in the final revision were the burn marks on some of the wings because of the laser cutter.       From the feedback I received and the considerations of the small details from the original design that I didn't put into the prototype, I chose to add the eyes, tail, and a lot of wing pieces. Since I was using detailed cut-outs f...

Memorial Jewellery Documentation II

Here's part two of my memorial jewellery piece, the final renders and explanations for my decisions on this project.  The functionality of the ear cuff is still iffy to me. I tried to create a hinge for the bottom curve so that it would make sense as a piece that uses the earring hole, instead of just being a metal that hangs on the ear. But overall I feel like it is still lacking in that portion of the design because it doesn't fully make sense. I would assume that you'd have to wear the bottom part through the earring hole before clipping the back end together and hooking it over the top of the ear. And because I created it as a hinge-based opening, I had to pair it with a snap post closure instead of the screw back I had initially chosen.  Theoretically, this ear cuff curvature would have to be adjusted from person to person because it's more personalized to fit an individual's ear shape. Plus it's designed to be aligned to the outer earlobe piercing so it wo...
