Vinyl Tattoo


This project started off with rough sketches of what I wanted the final product to be. I decided to choose a dog with a receding fence to go across my laptop with my dog's name across the bottom. 



The next steps were to import a picture of my sketch into Rhino. Once the picture was scaled and locked into place I began to trace every single line.




Once all the lines were drawn it was time for a test cut. Many of the test cuts were unsuccessful due to complexity. So in order to still get a vinyl tattoo with my original design simplification was needed. Most of the smaller details had to be removed in order to have a successful tattoo.





I am most pleased with the final product of my vinyl tattoo. Once it was transferred to my laptop it looked awesome. Even with the changes to the design, I am still proud of the final product.

In the future, I would incorporate the position of the vinyl tattoo into the idea. In this vinyl tattoo, I could have ended the fence where the laptop ends to create a better flow within the piece. A more creative/interesting font should have been used as well.

This project taught me how to use rhino a 3D modeling software to turn a sketch into a vinyl sticker/tattoo. The most important step in this process is to have closed lines. Once its cut you have a physical final product to enjoy custom made.

Shapeways Ring

The idea for this project started out with sketches of archways based on art deco style. once I had the basic sketch laid out I used it as a reference to recreate the same design in Rhino using arcs. Once the line work is completed and connected, the design is copy and pasted into a seamless flat design.In order to ensure the ring fits the design is scaled onto a line that is the same length as the circumference as the sized finger. Once as the design has been oriented around the correct size ring into a cylinder a few simple commands are used complete the ring. I used the pipe command to make consistent tubing to create the solid structure of the ring. The final command used was Boolean Union which took the individual pieces of pipe and joined all of them together with no overlapping solids. The Final product is amazing, I am pleased with quality and detail of the finished product. The satisfaction is immense considering I started with...

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.

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. .
