MILESTONE PROJECTS

 

1. Castle: 

Since I missed two weeks of class, that time I didn't have any logic to build a castle😿. 




2. Surface Design Study (Color): 

At that time, I barely knew how to use the Hatch and control the curves in Rhino😓.





3. Surface Design Study (Laser Cut Sample)
Thanks to Arica, she helped me to print a few samples to test the better colours and shapes👯








4. Reverse Engineered Object

My biggest project ever 🙊 it takes me a few weeks to work on. I wanted to choose an object that challenges me and looks good in my portfolio, but I also need to make sure I can finish it. 







4.5 The Ring👏







5. 3D Printed Chess Set 💪
Due to the super tight schedule during the final time, I have not finished the set. But I made two examples and they are now in 3D printing. So it is very doable for me to draw and print them all.

Laser Cutting

Image
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

Image
Hello and welcome to my first blog post! I am learning Rhino, and as a warm-up I created a 3D model of a Castle. It is inspired by a medieval fortress.  I used cubes as bricks to build the wall and the main body of the castle. 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

Image
  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
