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.

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...

Our topic for this week was paper craft. I am familiar with this type of art because I am a fan of modular origami. Modular origami is when you combine multiple geometric units formed from multiple sheets of paper to form polygons or polyhedra.  For this week's assignment, students were told to do a research of paper craft artists who inspire them. I have more than one artist that gives me inspiration on a design I planned to make. They are: John Edmark  Raya Sader Bujana Mathew Shlian Hari and Deepti Junji Ito Couple of these artists are not paper craft artists but because of them, I have the drive to create what I want. Here are some of their works. John Edmark  Raya Sader Bujana Mathew Shlian  Hari and Deepti Junji Ito Raya Sader Bujana , Hari and Deepti has the layering style that I am interested in. Their paper craft masterpieces gives off a wonderful three dimensional feel. Bujana's olympic figures were a pro...

Mandalas or Scabs (WARNING: MIGHT BE GROSS. PREPARE PUKE BUCKET)

On my previous post, I played around with the Polar Array tool in Grasshopper and got this as a result. For this week, we'll be using arrays to create a 2D parametric design. From what I have seen in other students' blogs, most of them looked like mandalas but when I looked it up on Google for some examples, most of them reminds me of scabs.  Awesome Design by Jean  Mandala I found on Google Parametric design I found on Google Scabs  So my question for myself is: "Mandalas or Scabs?" Before I answer myself that question, I looked around Youtube to see any videos about this topic, so  here's the tutorial I used for review. I changed some things from the tutorial like the end point for the line. Instead of doing what he did, I used another polar array for the end line. Results? Awesome parametric designs. There were new things I learned on this tutorial, like using Maelstrom and Bezier Span. These desi...
