Reverse Engg Object: Process II

After many struggles, I've finally begun doing the 3D version. I was stuck on creating the curved in the area for the scissors where the blade began to slant down. However, once I finished the more tricky side of the scissors (took a solid 4.5 hours), I created the second side in half the time! I tried rendering the separate blades and handles with metal and plastic for the materials. And it finally began looking like the pair of scissors I was trying to recreate!

All I'm missing now is creating the screw that holds the two sides together, though I realized this week that I couldn't' exactly take out the screw. So I have to figure out an alternative way to view it, and calculate it!

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...

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...
