MILESTONE PROJECT: ALGORITHMIC PANELED STRUCTURE - Part 2

 

Algorithmic Paneled Structure - Part 2

I wasn't actually sure if I was supposed to make a blog post this week but I might as well show my choices and progression for this Milestone project.

I wasn't exactly sure if I wanted to create another design or stick to the one I already had. Or I was even thinking about printing my furniture design as a miniature version. (It would be so cute to have a tiny chair!)  But first things first, testing the wall thickness to see if they are reasonable to print. 





I fixed up my algorithmic paneled structure to now have 1 definition instead of 7.


I had a problem with installing MeshMixer so I had to default to Shapeways to check if my design is good enough to be 3D printed.







I made a new geometry to be tiled onto my surface. I wanted to see if I can create a more intricate design instead of a simple Dimond grid.

 
I really enjoyed the design when there were many tiled around my surface, although I knew this wouldn't work out because my object is very small and the printer wouldn't be able to get the details I want.

No choice but to reduce it :





After placing this object on ShapeWays I was quite disappointed. I don't think this one is gonna work out, there are waaaay too many error spots, too thin. 


I have decided that I will be handing in 2 of my designs. I'm not 100% sure that my "vase" would be okay, and if its not then I hope my furniture chair would be okay.

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 ...
