Mushroom Creation

Image
 Mushroom Creation     I decided to use an old sketch that I've been recently working on. I suppose you could call it a doodle page of cute objects. I was at first going to do it all but I decided as my first time working in grasshopper it was best I took it easier and worked on one of the mushrooms I drew. I decide to use the one mushroom at the bottom.                        I was not able to attend the class where the fill pattern was talked about and demonstrated. Usually from the community notes and videos I find I can figure out generally what it is I am suppose to accomplish. In this case I have no idea what I am suppose to do. I have my work done in Rhino and will figure out how to do the fill pattern soon. Here is my sketch, Rhino file and Grasshopper work. I'm sure there is a better way to be working in grasshopper but I am just starting out. Work in process. By the end of the semester I'm sure I'l...

My First HG Definition

               My First Project In Grasshopper           My first working in to Rhino using Grasshopper I think went quite well. It's definitely something new, however I enjoyed the challenge. I didn't run into many technical problems. The one problem I did run into was the second loft didn't quite work. I had taken it out but I do believe that was my problem. Not sure why it was like that.  My final design was suppose to be a butterfly but it looked really weird when I tried so I settled for an abstract version of 2 sets of frog legs. With my recent upgraded computer I found myself staring at the final render of how shiny it came out.

The final of the dogggggggg

      The final renders of my super awesome dog!!!     A few notes that I have to add about Keyshot. Since it's a new software I really struggled figuring it out. It probably took 2 1/2 hours of messing around with different settings to figure out what the heck I needed to do to even begin to figure out how to use it. I can tell how powerful the program is but I literally don't have the mental energy to be able to figure out all the ins and outs of keyshot. Usually I don't struggle figuring out a new software but this time was quite a bit different and I was surprised. Only thing I couldn't figure out is how to do custom lighting. It made no sense when I tried. So I'm hoping he goes over it in class so I can be more proficient at using keyshot.

Dog Update

Dog Update #2 This week I worked on the head. Again I have to remodel the legs because something isn't working right. Gotta love it. Next is the tail and fine details.

Dog Model

      Currently working on modeling the legs and body. This week I will be working on the head and hopefully I will have most of the modeling down my this week. Here are a few screenshots of my model so far. Leg definitely needs some work. Prototype 1 you could say.

Final for the pattern project. Used cherry wood cause I really liked the colour. Funny thing was after I got it cut one of my friends really liked the smell and she kept smelling it. However I didn't see why she liked it. Way too strong for me and I didn't like it.
