3d noob continued final blog post: 3d not as noob?

Image
I wanted my final piece to be something I could rest on a countertop or table and it would look actually good. I am happy to say that I did that and I'm proud and grateful for what I've gotten out of this project.  One thing I would change in the future- I would see exactly how big I can print my objects and then go bigger. This would make all of the small details standout better and have a higher resolution. I am currently working on learning blenders 3d modeling software so  that I can sculpt "YuYa" an original character that would hold this weapon. In the process of this I've also realized blender is what I will be using for further developing my 2d animations as it is an actually awesome program. I cant believe I was too intimidated to install it until now lol. I really should have documented my work better, especially taking better photos and with my access to the documentation studio.  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/136c1cbPQ9ptqkWkL4Gvr_4HVjvdJCAVbK...

3D NOOB: Project 2 Post 3

Image
     With my Object fully printed, things went without a hitch. Seeing the simplicity and ease of the printing process made me really want to save up for one. This print was quick and was done within an hour. I found that the joinery worked perfectly and I didn't need to make adjustments.  I think my object would benefit with some glazing on the wood and paint on the plastic.

3d NOOB: PROJECT 2 post 3

Image
With the object finalized the only things left to do were render it in Rhino and 3d print. I found Rhinos render feature quite intuitive, making the process fun.   For my final object render, I put my object on some simple staging, and used an overhead spotlight as well as a spotlight placed directly in front of the object. I think this helped show the sillhouette of my object.

3d noob: project 2 post 2

Image
I think I'm very close to done this model. It could use a few additive details but all in all I think it is going to come out really cool.  This is a mock up of how it is going to fit into the base I made in the last project. Can't wait to get the supports done so that it is good to print!

For project 2 I am deciding to model a weapon to stand on the base i built in the prior project. these are some concept sketches, the top one is what i will model. Here is the in progress rhino model:

3D Noob Continued: Post 4

Image
       I have finalized my object and it is ready to be laser cut. I am excited to see how detailed the engravings will be on it and just how well it joins together. I did not have the opportunity to add a figure this time, but I think that will be my focus for the next project. finished object: engraving details: 2d drawing for lasercutting: Can't wait to see it in real life!

3D NOOB CONTINUED: post 3

Image
     I have finally managed to visualize my project accurately through sketches and in 3d. I still am missing the patterning which will sit on top of the figure base when completed. I feel good about this, and I actually feel like I have a decent level of control over my process. I think I've gotten way past being daunted by Rhino and now it feels like a problem solving game that I have been enjoying this week. Each level of the figure base will be a 3mm thick piece of plywood. the figure will stand in the middle, joined with male and female joinery. I'm excited to get it cut. I am hoping to be able to make a figure to be cut and hatched as a test for the base by the time it is due though I have to learn how to use illustrator for cutting to do that i think unless I want to draw it all again in rhino. This is what im planning for a pattern, most likely the heart one arrayed along the top curve of the base.
