PARAMETRIC 3D SURFACE DESIGN: PART 1

 

PARAMETRIC 3D SURFACE DESIGN: PART 1 

Designing a 3D surface design to be printed of in a CNC machine. In all honestly this sounds super exciting and I thought the demos were really cool!

Although sitting here thinking about what to do or where to start... I have no idea, maybe lets play around with some definitions till I figure something out and come across something I like.

I started with somethings we learnt in class, I thought it might be interesting if I 

This didn't really turn out the way I wanted to, I thought it would be more interesting. It was an experimentation for a reason, so onto the next!

Voronoi is always interesting and never lets us down so lets try that!



I felt like I was on a roll until I couldn't get the Voronoi to extrude in different heights AHH so I tried backing up like usual to see if there was a way, but I ended up doing other things instead.


I kinda really got into it so I forgot to take some screenshots :( I still had a lot of trouble because I wanted to do different things with the design and have them on different height but couldn't figure it out.
I decided to stick with what I had since it was quite interesting already!

Here is a screen shot after I changed the view to render and realized that the surface design I made earlier that I thought wasn't as interesting was actually pretty cool! maybe ill look into it more see what I can do with that definition.



Here are the Rendered photos of my 3D surface design in different materials!

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 ...
