Outsourcing Wearable Obj: Finalize and Verify

My final decision for the ring is the vial one (To view the other concepts, please visit older blog posts). From the proof sheet, I only made the band a solid shape instead of a hollowed-out ring that works like a bottle. I hollowed out the neck area but the measurement of the cork vs the neck wasn't properly aligned after skewing it. So I only had the outlines to work with and restart building the shape. I ended up creating a thicker ring design to make sure printing could work.

I thought I knew how I was going to approach this with the skills I had until I realized I'm using the wrong Boolean command. I struggled with getting an offset version of the ring's band to be deleted on the inside so the model will be hollowed out, I was working with Boolean split, thinking that should work, but it split into 6 copies of the ring in the same place. After a bit of troubleshooting, I realized that BooleanDifference was the command I was supposed to be using this whole time. For both the band of the ring and the bottleneck portion, all I needed to do was use one command instead of doing a split, cap, offset, and loft multiple times.

So with the Wall Thickness in mind, I had to make sure that I left a decent amount of space between each wall when I'm hollowing the ring out. When I opened 3D tools in Shapeways, I forgot to change the material at first and freaked myself out thinking that the whole thing didn't qualify for the wall thickness, but since I chose SLA Plastic Clear - Accura 60, it means that I did end up passing everything on the
tolerance test.

Memorial Jewellery Documentation I

Hello! It is technically the "summer" and I have an assignment to create a death artifact for a deceased character. I've dug deep into my childhood to find Ember McLain from the Nickelodeon animated series 'Danny Phantom'. She passed away as a teenage aspiring musician in the early 1970s in Amity Park America. So I thought it'd be cool to mash up the American 1970's early punk era with the formal memorial diamond/jewellery death artifact. I came up with some sketches after researching the different types of diamond cuttings and earring designs I could go with. Since Ember wore a purple dual earlobe set throughout the show, I thought I'd also create a memorial earring set that follows that theme. Following her colour palette of blue, purple, black, and grey, I ended up choosing the blue memorial diamond option since it was better than the black synthetic gem for a family memorial piece. Then I paired it with silver for the rest of the earring design si

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 boolean-split the screw
