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...
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.
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!
