Reverse Engineering Object: Selection

So selecting my objects for this reverse engineering project, I wanted to select an object that was do-able.

I have selected a tray, a pair of scissors, and a photo frame. All three of them have separate parts that can be pulled apart and put back together, the tray and the photo frame doesn't require screws and specific tools to take apart. I believe the scizzor I have has a screw and ending tab thing that attaches the blade and plastic handles.

These three objects should be considered "mechanical" in nature enough. I chose scizzor as my first option since it seems the most mechanical and simple. The tray is more of a repeating pattern all around even with the objects holding the two trays separate, it's still a repeating thing. So a challenge for the pattern and sizing to fit each other, along with alignment, but besides that it should be a somewhat reasonable object to do for three weeks. A photo frame, because of the pattern and detailing to the frame, along with the back screws for the "hinges" I think it's a cool idea to go with, even though it seems very 2D. it's a good variation in material if we render the objects in those three weeks too compared to the others that are just plastic and metal.

Title: Lap Wave Desk Inspiration: Ocean/Wave glass sculptures and The Great Wave off Kanagawa print by Hokusai Difference from typical furniture: A typical lap desk is formal looking, just metal and a plain one colour platform. I wanted something that's less traditional and more sculpture base, one that looks like an art piece and might benefit some users with the wave patterns as holders. Function: It's a lap desk! Those computer desks are portable and you can put them on your lap to hold your laptop on. Others might use it as a standing desk by putting it on top of a regular table Intended Location: Homes and maybe a less traditional office Intended Audience: Students, office workers, people who need to do work standing or work portable Here are the renders for my lap desk, I made two versions of it. One in an Oak material, one in transparent plastic with a slight blue colour just to make sure it would appear in the render. I made the decision of the transparent one bec...

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...

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.
