From thinking "I wanna make a minimalist ring cuz i hate wearing Bulky rings" to creating a "Wearable Sculpture"

-
I wasn't sure at first on what to design to make especially rings since I don't wear a lot of them and I like non bulky rings but then I find them too boring so I just sketched whatever went through my head. 

THE SKETCHES

   


I had to choose three concepts out of nine that I sketched for critique.

FINAL THREE CONCEPTS



During the peer-to-peer discussion, my group mentioned how they would like to see my designs in an organic manner. Instead of using extrusions, I need to use pipe. So that's what I did for my final design. I used my third concept and improved it to make it more organic and interesting.

Flat on the ground
Drew on 2D then changed the control points to lift petals

After using the Flow command and changed color of material


Now it was time to check it on Shapeways and see if I have any problems with it. The first time I did this was bad. The flower parts were all in red so I re-did the petals and made them thicker.

All Good!

Everything seems to be good! I added it to my cart and oh my god it's worth $30 because I wanted my ring in copper. All I have to do now is wait for my classmates so we could do a group order to portion the shipping payment.

HIGH QUALITY RENDERS THAT TOOK THREE HOURS

eye spy with my little i, a castle that can't reach the skeye and a lady who barely remembers how to use Rhino

I do remember the basics of Rhino but do I remember ALL of the basics? Nope. The idea behind my castle was an eye. First thing I did was drawing a shape of an eye using "Control Point Curve" and extruded it to which it became the outer wall of the castle. I wanted to make this outer wall thicker but I don't remember how and I wasn't in the Wednesday help time. This castle has 3 walls... ...unnecessary walls. For the inner wall, I used "Torus" in order for the wall to have density. I wasn't really thinking about this and I could've used "Circle", extruded the curve and then un-"capped" it so it would look more like a wall like what I did with the actual castle. But people make mistakes and I just realized it while I'm making this blog. This inner wall has a parabola-ish shaped gate. I used the "Cube" then "Fillet" the edges and used "Cylinders" to complete the look. Now, for...

More Brainstorming and More team mates!

Yesterday we were placed into a group of 5. My team consists of Sara, Mich, Lex and Shannon. We were told to plan for our last print using the ceramic 3D printer. When we grouped up, we took our printed design and showed it to the group. We started exchanging ideas but it was mostly Sarah and Michi who were talking. Me and the others contributed a little bit but mostly agreed on what Sarah and Michi were saying. Here are some of the concepts that I sketched for this project; We discussed that for the our final concept, it's going to have Sarah's base, using Shannon's Christmas Tree shape with the ends using organic shapes, like Lex's and Michi's form, and using the top of my form on top of the new concept. Sarah did the modelling for the final form, which she made in different colors! We try to include everyone's shape/idea in this model. From what we discussed, the base is a solid for so it could support the top parts, especially when there's ...

Eeny Meeny Miny Mo, Which Object Should I Manually Digitize?

I don't really own a lot of things that are dissectible and interesting so I chose objects that I can disassemble for the second project of this class. For this project, I have to use Rhino to "reverse engineer" an item that I (well maybe not just me, Bryan's also going to choose) selected.  Among the three items, I choose the box cutter knife mainly because it's the flattest item in the selection and as a person who is afraid of challenges and not being able to get a great mark, I think I can model it on Rhino in, or hopefully before, due time. But it's the lamest among the three, to be honest. The mini desk fan would probably be a pain but humans should always face their fears and challenge themselves in order to improve. So I guess my final item would be the desk fan. All I need now is to find a screwdriver so I can actually disassemble the fan. The nail cutter is just there because it's mechanical and I can't find anything else. ...
