Chess Set


My chess set was inspired by one which appeared if low resolution and angular. Each piece was constructed by twisting and stretching various pentagons. The end result, when exported with low tolerances, is a low poly version of the original chess set design.



Although the chess pieces turned out exactly as imagined the renderings did not. The renderings could use improvements, they don't do the physical 3D print justice.



This project taught me how to generate a 3D object and create a physical print. Some of the most important ideas to keep in mind are the orientation of printing. In order to create a quality print, minimal support must be used.



If I were to do something different in the future I would alter the original design of the low poly on one of the side. This would keep the design consistent with each "side" but breaks up the repetitiveness of the same design on both teams.

Head 3D Scan

In order to get a 3D version of my head into R hino , I had to sit in a chair for 30 second white someone walked a perfect circle around me. Frankie, my Professor was holding a 3D scanner plugged into a laptop. Multiple scans were done were done with different angles in order to get all features of the face. Once I imported the file into rhino I have an editable mesh of my own head. .

Rubber Duck

This prompt didn't allow much freedom of creation. I completed this project following the instructions but decided to render differently. This project taught me how to build using surfaces as well and rebuilding a surface. Rebuilding the duck body allows you to add control points which allow modification of the body shape. This assignment also taught me how to blend 2 different surfaces to create one seamless object. The final skill introduced in this exercise was rendering. The duck assignment teaches you basic skills to shape object organically as well as render them. Something I could have improved on with this project was the use of control points. With the use of only 8 control points on the duck sacrifices of precision were made. Something I will do differently in the future is the use of more control points. The rubber ducky activity used only a few control points to modify the shapes. Adding more control points will allow for more detailed and pre...

Reverse Engineered Project

This was the first project where I saw all the homework activities fall into play during this project. I started this prompt with detailed measurements of the phone case within .001 inches wherever possible noted on a sketch. Just like for the screwdriver and screwdriver assignment these measurements guidelines for all the lines in this project. Once the linework was down, I used loft/cap/ and extrude curve, were used to create the different colored surfaces which all together make the phone. I am most pleased that my this project turned out to be so realistic. At first, I doubted my abilities to recreate the phone case. With precise measurements and the time taking the task of laying out every line, the final product was worth it. I am most pleased that my this project turned out to be so realistic.
