4. Parametric Structure Scale Model (Process) (i)

Hello! Thought I'd write this little update blog before the render one because I've hit many walls already. Just thinking about physically building it, and seeing how my concept transfer digitally has made me want to change a few things from my sketch. Physically building the base and wave part became one piece and it will be 3D printed/ laser cut for now. The CNC curve part is if I want to advance it but I think alternatives are fine. The intersecting angled piece that holds the laptop, that one will be the full width of the table piece hopefully holding together everything and can just be an easy installation for people. Alternatively, I’d just have that as one Boolean Union piece if I’m just laser cutting the same seed for the whole table.

I did end up 3D printing 2 mini versions/ of the desks. And when I say mini…. They are REALLY SMALL, I just wanted to save time and use it as a test print so I did them at the fast setting and at 60% scale compared to my digital file. Didn’t realize the result size of the physical print… oops? But now I know to scale up when I do my laser cut piece for the 25th blog.

Here are some screenshots of some failed processes in building my table. I couldn't get a lot of things working in the first round and tried to create things manually in Rhino, but with some help from a friend I had to rebuild it so everything can be adjustable.

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
