Outsource Wearable Object: Concept Generation

These are my concepts that I've come up with. I only did 16 initial ones because I felt like I had a set of very different idea's just playing around with different concepts.

Currently, I'm leaning towards 4, 9, 10, 12, and 14. Though #4 might be lacking some originality and stability in the design. #9 really depends on how it will look in 3D, could look very awkward when I throw it into Rhino. #10 seems a little basic, but I think it might look cool as a design that's exaggerated enough to not be an "everyday" ring, but not too crazy so it's still wearable. #12 I think would be pretty cool, I haven't seen anything like this design yet. Even though it's inspired by the wood and resin style of rings that create a night sky or flames inside the resin. I think that might be a cool design however, the materials that need to be used in that might not work since there's a variety of colour, transparency, and material. It would look unique rendered though. #14 seems like a metal welding project, which isn't terrible. But might be too simple or not crazy enough for a wearable object that's similar to a sculpture on a ring.

Overall I have 5 designs that have their flaws and have a unique look to them. In the end, maybe after the discussion and feedback, I could mash up two designs or revisit one of the rings to exaggerate it further.

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...

01. My First Definition

Tutorial Screenshots: Own "Riff" Screenshots: For my riff, I wanted to try out curves, bi-arc, and lofting separate parts. But I also wanted to test out commands I often used in Rhino to see the difference between Rhino and Grasshopper. Turns out, fillet edge on extruded cylinders from points on a curve does not work... It's apparently not as simple which is great... I was really tempted to manually fillet individual edges in Rhino after I bake Grasshopper shapes. But I resisted because I wanted to see what I can achieve with the least amount of Rhino commands possible. I think I ended up making a bowl with a lot of "Saturns" on the brim of the bi-arced base shape. Problems I ran into: Some tricky things I've run into are double-clicking to type a command and right-clicking. I keep reversing it, so when I try to type a command I'd try to right-click to do it. Then when I wanted to find "set one curve" I keep wanting to ...

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...
