 Trip Down Memory Lane

    While I was looking through things I could make a replica of in rhino, I stumbled upon some things that gave me nostalgia. Oh man stick bots where the bomb when my brother and I were younger. We would make so many movies and loved to play with them. They had a whole collection of pets to collect. We had pretty much all the pets apart from the cow, chicken, rabbit, rhino and hippo.  Really good memories. We also made similar memories with the Legos.




     The rubik's cube is my speed cube. My dad promised me after I could solve the cube in 50 seconds he'd buy me my very own speed cube. It's funny because I made 50 seconds with a really trashy cube. So now with my speed cube I get about 1 minute and 30 seconds because I'm out of practice and learning new algorithms.  Use to have speed challenges with people in my class and one of my really close friend who is like a brother to me. I beat him first lol. Defiantly not as good as the professions and I have a friend who can solve the cube in 8 and 15 seconds. Crazy cool dude, I got to say. I'm leaning towards the stickbots more because it seems easier to model and I really don't want to take my cube apart. Still on the hunt for my old cube cause I've taken that one apart so many times.

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.
