Repeating Pattern


    I took inspiration from downtown for my research. Made a lot of good memories with my dad who came with me. We had so much fun wondering around looking for interesting surface designs for me to take pictures of. I think my specific design took more inspiration from the Bow tower and the c-train indicator.  


   During the time I had for peer feedback I really enjoyed talking to my peers about our projects. Everyone had very different approaches to their ideas and had some very fun inspiration pictures to go with them. My original design reminded me of this one wallpaper in the sims and that quickly became a topic of conversation among all my chats. Really helped me figure out what direction I wanted to go and how I could go about doing that in Rhino. Made some really good connections with people I otherwise wouldn't have talked to. 

I have in total 4 drafts. I have to admit I really wasn't sure of what I wanted to do but as I started working on it more the more I became aware of what I wanted. That is how I work. I have a very basic general idea until I start working and I am constantly fixing it and refining it while I go. I just have to do it over and over until I'm happy with the result.  
                                        




I imagine my design being on a wall as a tile, quilt or maybe a shield design. Would be pretty sick for my design to be on something like that.

Paper Craft Hello Kitty    This is the entire post of my paper craft project. In my planning I was very confident in my model in Rhino. However when I printed it out my printer was being funny. As show in the picture below. It was printing landscape on portrait mode. I had no idea why it was doing this. No matter what I tried same results. With this slight error my design was approximately x2 smaller than it should have been.  Here is the rendered version in Rhino                                          Original model and deconstructed   First prototype  Second model and deconstruction   Changes to the first deconstructed model are adding more taps. I forgot to add tabs to certain areas so it doesn't actually fold together properly. Another issue I ran into was simplification of the body parts. In the original I didn’t simplify these areas enough w...

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.

Castle Assignment

Castle Assignment     WELCOME BACK!!! It's been a hot minute but excited to be back and to create some awesome things.  I really didn't have anything that inspired me to build my castle. It was more as I worked I came up with new ideas to add to the project. An example was the fountain. Without it the castle looks very bare and empty. I struggled with getting ideas for the castle. I saw so many really good reference pictures but didn't use any of them because I couldn't figure out how to recreate them. So I went for a more simply approach but I really enjoyed working on this. It was very fun and the trees glow in the dark. I wish I would have been able to create a better window with a glass pane but the frame was pretty good.
