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.

  1. 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!

3D Printed Object: Hybrid Design

Concept Generator: These were the outcomes of what I had for generating concept, some of mine wouldn't fully work when I really thought of how the 3D printer worked. Only the flat coned shape and 3 rings fully worked, and it matched with my groups' the most since their shapes were mainly in a cylinder-like.     Combining Group Objects: I was in a group with Adam and Siwon. Out of our three designs, Adam's had the more sturdy base design so the 3D Printer could hold everything together. Siwon's design was a more decorative angled vase shape, like diamond-cut edges. My design, placing it into Slic3r separately, I could tell the rings immediately didn't look as sturdy as we wanted. So mine has the most changes or reconsideration in how that would end up printing. We had to make sure the rings interlock with the base and each other so that the printer would keep everything into one piece without falling apart mid-print.  Initially, we had Siwon's in t...

Reverse Engg Object: HD Render and Exploded View

     This reverse engineering project was about learning the tools of rhino by creating an object of our choice digitally. Using a calliper and precise measurements, we were to create a replica of a mechanical object to be pretty much exact. With the limitations of no organic or soft objects, no weapons, and must be complex/simple enough to finish within the three-week frame.      I chose an old pair of scissors as my object to replicate. It started out simple, though it was harder than I thought to wrap my head around a pair of scissors than I thought. Maybe it was because I had a year break in between last year's 3D modelling and rendering, but for the smallest things, I couldn't process for hours. This project took at least 11.5 hrs to do. I got stuck in some places like the angled blade, curvature of the handles, and finding the smallest slip-ups that caused an open shape. I know I had drawn some parts separately but when I tried to assemble them and bo...

Reverse Engineering: Progress 1

  The object I ended up going with was a pair of scissors for my reverse engineering project. I believe that's do-able for three weeks if I really pay attention to every detail.  Everything seemed simple until I actually started measuring things. I laid out a blueprint of my scissors that I drew... as tried to write out all my measurements the best I could. But realized that I had to do both front and side measurements. Along with all the curved sides, hidden angled chunks that were different measurements on the side and front views.  Another trouble I was having was that sides of the scizzors, because I was working with the scizzors still in tack. I haven't taken it apart yet, so there was only one side of the scissor I can fully see and measure. So I realized that I had been drawing the wrong size of the scizzor. Thankfully I didn't add details  As shown in the picture above, I thought it would have been a great idea to just measure everything from two angles at fi...
