SURFACE DESIGN STUDY: LASER CUT SAMPLE]

Biggest take away from my last surface design blog is I had a massive panic attack when it came to laser cutting. I am new to this program and to add a expensive machine I should really take the note of less is more and the last min barfed out idea of this 










Less than 10 hours before my booking. Spent all afternoon, evening and night to try and clean up my other surfaces that I was supposed to print. 
Went to show the Rhino 7 layout for the one I did laser cut and I have no idea where the file went but I at least have the cut out to show. 

Once I have more confidence that I am not going to break the fancy machine I would love to laser cut this 

I am really happy with the one I printed because it showed me what the grey scale looks like with it all burnt on the wood. I definitely questioned my should of, could of, would of, other laser print ideas. I love how the one I printed turned out. So much texture, so much burntness. You can see the differences in texture and depth with the grey scale. I do dislike how the one layer to the black that was slightly less black got so burnt next to the crispy layer and the crispy cut out bits. I think my stress and anxiety turned out really well and I love the results. 

Little speedy video of the laser printer doing what it does.

BLOG POST: REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT: HD RENDERS AND EXPLODED VIEW]

Image
Part one, pick an object to dismantle. Part two, to stick dismantled object on to Rhino 7 by measuring it. Part three, this blog post -> the final part of this massive project. The assignment for part three is to make it realistic or in other words high-resolution. We sadly had class canceled so we had to watch two youtube videos on how to put materials like plastic and metals on to our Rhino projects. How to make a digital space for the background for the digital object. To add more texture and shape so it does not look fat how to add light to the object. Next is to learn how to assembled at lest 4 views to an object with 1200 x 1200 pix or high/final quality. Render one exploded view with same setting as before. last bit of this assignment is to create a blog with picture of what we need to do and a brief reflection of the project.  Rendering definitely beats up my old 2011 Mac book pro. Wheel of death keeps coming up while I try to add black and light grey opaque plastic mate...

First Uses Of Rhino.7 and making a Castle

Image
Welcome to my first blog post. This blog is about my first time using Rhino 7 for a class I am taking in university. Class assignment is learning the basics of making 3D and 2D shapes. To make the assignment fun we were asked to build a castle. How to move objects and join them together in to one shape.   Quick intro to my castle. It has three sections on the outer wall that are part of the "village". Six tall cylinders with a cone roof. Main uses is to look cool and all so have stair cases inside the cylinders with nice rest stops and room for the workers and soldiers. Tallest cylinder in the middle of the castle has large sphere, or donut at the top with a cone on it. Main use is for the "villagers" to have a nice 360 view of the land from a safe spot. Spiral pentagon middle for some pazazz and in side of it is rooms and space for what ever a king desires. On top of the spiral pentagon is made for a safe place for a market. A tinny ledge is for people to hang out ...
