My First Definition Laser Cut Parametric Design Slip Casting A Parametric Vessel Algorithmic Deposition Modelling Jeliane  Jeliane Zera Surface Modelling and Animation This semester was a ride. Grasshopper was a challenge because it takes me awhile to get used to the fussiness of it but I also enjoyed it because it makes creating variations of a design easier and faster. Another challenge was learning the 3D clay printer, I haven't gotten to use it which is sad but hopefully students have access learning more of it once this commotion has stopped. In my opinion, I think the biggest success I had this semester was being able to work and collaborate with other people. I was able to talk to few of my colleagues and learned from them.   I didn't enjoy the plaster mold project but it is really handy, with what I have learned during those weeks I will apply in making objects I

2020 IS CANCELLED (Animation Blog)

-
Image
Because of the current situation, I declare 2020 cancelled. I wasn't able to use the clay 3D printer and the last project is totally different than what it was supposed to be. So here I am making animated gifs in Rhino.  These were the patterns that I used to test the Grasshopper definition. Piped geometry takes AWHILE to process while surfaces were much faster but it was too plain for my liking.  I created a horn using circles and octagons then used loft which resulted to polysurfaces.  Using polysurfaces as the surface to map unto was a disaster. I tried it on a simpler shape and it still didn't work. So I used revolve instead of sweep and loft and it worked for this shape. Then I redid my original shape again using loft but with circles instead of octagons and it works better. This is what it looked like using the eye surface geometry: And this is what it looked like using the piped eye geometry: Grasshopper defin

Clay Printing

-
Image
My group and I booked the clay 3D printer last night and were able to print some models. Zera was not happy with hers so I think both of us will book for another time to print our models. Zera's Model Charlton's Model  Jeliane's Model My sample model needed a beginning and an end, so that's what I'm trying to figure out right now. The studio computer was laggy and slow so whenever it responds, we were relieved.

Sketches and ideas

-
Image
On my previous post, I wanted to print something abstract that I can use for different projects. Since we're using the clay 3D printer, I don't think I can achieve this form because it isn't planar and clay is heavy, so any part that is hanging will droop down. I thought of another idea and came up with this. I am aware that my sketch/idea is not a vessel/3D unlike the examples Bryan showed us however, I was thinking of printing multiple of these and bring them together after they're bisque fired. My group was supposed to have a meeting today at 2pm but everyone is too busy so we decided to update and share each others works and ideas through email and messenger.

Playing Around Got Me Crashed

-
Image
I wanted to play around with lines and pipes so this is what I initially started before I crashed I wanted to create something abstract that I can print and use for other projects. It didn't take me an hour but the crashing took forever. Until now, Rhino is still not responding. So I opened another Rhino window and did a similar thing but less planar. It's weird that I couldn't think of anything I want to add for this assignment.  Perspective View Right View But then it crashed again. And I can't open another Rhino window.  Neither was saved. Truly this has to be a horror story.

ꙮ The Making of a Seraphim Inspired Vessel ꙮ

If you have read most of my blog posts, it's obvious that I love eyes. Well these past few weeks, I found a Facebook group called "Many - Eyed SeraphimPꙮsting" and have found my my people. They post photos of art and memes like this: So yes I created another eyed item and I'm happy with it. Here are the definition for my vessel, the casting and the mold: Unaltered. Fresh from the mother mold. A failed baby.  Challenges: Plaster made my hands really dry and now my skin is shedding. Should've listened to Kayla about wearing gloves Too much bubbles in my mold, I didn't take air out properly maybe I have to wait for an hour to make sure the cast is dry. I didn't want to make another destroyed vessel When I removed my 2nd vessel, some plaster was stuck in it. I was able to get it out but now I don't know if there's plaster inside the slip. My vessel has a possibility that it might explode when fire

A love/hate relationship: Working with Plaster

-
Image
To be completely honest, my design isn't crazy or anything. It's basic and simple, I just want this mold to work. This form does remind me of the very first object I 3D printed on 2019 during my first year OBDF class with Greg Ball. My First 3D printed object! When I printed my vessel, the filament ran out. Luckily, someone reprinted it on another printer while I was gone. Thank you whoever you are!  First Vessel Prints. Half the size of the original.  When I placed my outline in the MASTER MOLD file, I didn't notice that it was upside down, again me being lucky, Kayla noticed and she laser cut another one for me! The vessel was to big so I cut off a bit of it using an x-acto knife Now it fits!            I was not confident in making the plaster. I'm glad Kayla was really great in helping me finish my mold! The plaster for the half negative went smoothly however as time was running out, we had to use the actual plaster room and co
