Hollow Objects


For this project, I learned of new tools to create more organic 3D forms. The tool I mostly used for the creation of these 10 hollowed objects is loft and sweep rail, allowing me to create these organic forms. It was fun creating these forms and meshing them together with more geometric ones to juxtapose them together. With these two things combined, I think they created interesting shapes and forms for these hollowed forms. This was a very interesting project for me as I got to experiment with creating more rounded and shapely organic forms rather than purely solid geometric ones.

Reverse Engineer Project Process 2

 I added more to the sides I created last week! Using shaping tools and Boolean Difference, I decided to add some of the parts needed to click the side together. These bits also act as a place to wedge in a screw.  I also used a Fillet edge for this part, as this is where the screws go into and it is smooth on the actual model.                                          For smaller pieces within the shell, I used Revolve I tried to align things with the parts they were supposed to interlock at the best I could so it would make as much sense with the real object when it clicks together For the speaker, I first made a small radial pattern of circles. I did this with the help of an array on a curve so that I could make each hole very quickly and shift it with rotation on each row. I then selected each circle, extruded it through the side, and used Boolean difference. This is all that I have so far! I still need to get the very small and fine details of it, but that is a task for the me of n

Reverse Engineer Object Process 1

  Continuing from the last post, I decided to try and model the dog speaker within Rhino. I wanted to try and do the outer casings of the dog speaker.  I started with creating lines to map out the casing, using loft and extruded curves to create them To create the legs of the speaker, I measured the radius and length of the object and created them using the Revolve tool. Once those were done, I attached them to the side casing using a Boolean Union. I also used the shell to give dimension to the casing. And here's the casing! I'd have to duplicate it to create the other side. I want to continue adding more detail to it, especially when it comes to the inner parts, but I wanted to start off with this so that I have a main base to create for the other parts.

SURFACE DESIGN: LASER CUTTING

Image
 Continuing from the last blog post on Surface Design, we had to make our design into a laser-cut design.  Before sending the file to be laser-cut, I had to change the colours of the design. I had to change the values of each, making them shades of black and white. This would determine how deep each segment is going to be, black being the deepest while white being the least deep. The red outlines determine the parts of the design that will be cleanly cut off. We had to place this design on a 4" x 4" area. Once the file was prepared, I was able to transport it to get it laser-cut. I chose wood for the medium. Once it was cut, I was able to sand off the burns and as well as make some of the segments of the design lighter.
