Patterns I Discovered

 It is not easy to find a bunch of patterns in the same location. So I found two locations that maybe ideal for this project.


In Micheals, I found patterns in the clothing section.
















Interestingly, the second place I found many patterns is also about clothes. I visited the Glebow Museum and the current exhibition Printed Textiles from Kinngait Studios. Which is about printing patterns in fabric.

Laser Cutting

My original design is like that. And I chose Cherry Wood, because I thought the dark colour would be good. However, the deep grey and the black were too close to each other, and the patterns in the middle were very hard to see. And many lines were too thin and small details were hard to see. But the high contract part was good.  The first laser cut attempt Based on the first version,  I improved my original design and increased the contract. And changed the wood to Birch Plywood.  I also wanted to try a hollow design with simpler patterns. So I designed the second pattern. Both patters look good now, and I like them.

My first Castle built in Rihno

And I used cones and pyramids to build the top.  So far, I have very limited knowledge of Rihno, this is what I have for now.  I know it looks very rough, but I will continue to refine it.  Challenges:  I struggled with almost everything. Rihno is so new to me, all the skills I learned from the other software like Adobe suit do not work with Rihno. Every move in Rihno drove me crazy, it never works as I wish. And I feel it is very hard to control the angle, zoom in and zoom out, I always lost and can't find the main coordinate ( zoom too far maybe). I was not sure whether all shapes were attached together, even though I opened the Grip Snap. In Adobe, the movement of attachment is strong. And I also realize it is tricky to move a shape on top of each other be

REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT: PROGRESS II

  This is my process so far. I made most big parts of the outer shell, and now I am moving to more details and small parts. I think if I have more time, I will be able to finish most parts of the clock.  However, I have not successfully made screws yet. I stuck in the little triangle part for screws. Drawings More pieces
