Make These Shapes - Learning Rhino

 

 Learning Rhinoceros 3D 

Assignment 2 - Make These Shapes


After playing around with Rhino and creating a 3D model of a castle, we are now taking a step back and learning other Tools and Commands with 2D shapes. 
Some of the Commands we learned were: Trim, Rotate, Polygon (Star), Arc (Tangent), Explode, Fillet (FilletCrv), Array

Our next assignment was to "Make These Shapes" from a photo document provided by Bryan.



The shapes were quite easy for me to follow and create until I fell upon on the 5th row of Circles and Offsets. Now, I do know what I have to do to make that flower like shape, and making an OFFSET copy of it. Although for some reason it wasn't offsetting the whole flower. I attempted to troubleshoot by using the JOIN command to attach all the lines together, but for some reason I couldn't figure out why it was not working. 
I decided to start over and make that shape all over again, and to my luck, it finally worked!


My last struggle during this assignment was once again OFFSET for the last row. I know how it works but for some reason OFFSET does not want to cooperate with me. I thought I figured out a solution by offsetting each component of the shape, I was wrong. ..
Okay, turns out I was right and I doubted myself, I think I just had to make the circles smaller in order to have the spaces between them. I asked a friend who was pretty experienced in a different 3d Programing and did the exact same thing I did. 
I feel like I should give myself more credit for problem-solving my struggles :)



Here is my final product in "Pen" view:

Reverse Engineered Object : Progress 1

 Reverse Engineered Object : Progress 1 The Object that I have chosen to reverse engineer from my three options, Is my Muji balance mechanical pencil. I chose this object because even if it seems quite simple, there are still a lot of different intricate parts and textures areas. I first started this project by sketching out the pencil and its parts to measure each piece.  It was annoying at first that when I would measure something and remeasure it again I would get very different results in numbers.  Although I do know these are the things that have to be done to be accurate! There are still quite a lot of parts that I need sketch and measure out in the inner parts of the pencil. This is because many of them are very small and hard to see, and as well I am not sure how the "screws" or "spirals" are done in Rhino so I will be waiting for the tutorial on it in class.  Here is my progress so far :  This part of the pencil has a texture outer side that I will stil...

Outsourced Wearable Object: Concept Selection and Proof Sheet

  Outsourced Wearable Object: Concept Selection and Proof Sheet After wonderful conversations with my peers and Bryan, I have finally concluded to the THREE ring concepts I enjoy the most.   A Bonsai, a Snake and a Flower ring.  Honestly this was pretty hard. I had a lot of troubles on different parts for each ring. Although I tried not to stress about it since i knew this was also a rough draft. Here are some ScreenShots of my work : (I always forget to take shots of my process) The snake seems like a simple enough concept but I've been having troubles with the shape after i SWEEP it. Not only that I haven't been able to fully complete the reptile scale texture since I've been having troubles with the FLowAlongSrf I had to learn how to make a Petal of a flower by using InterpretCRV, and learning how to use the REBUILD tool.  I haven't completed the Bonsai tree yet, I finally got a decent shape to the trunk and i'm still planning to manipulate it with Twist and ...
