Rhino Paper Modeling

Image
 Following the Rhino surface modelling lesson, the Object Design class was taught how to make flattened surfaces of our 3D objects into printable construction sheets.  The class was taught how to make our surfaces into 2D vectors, how to make flaps so that we could use them to glue our objects together, and how to print our object on Rhino.  From the way flaps are made in Rhino, I noticed that flaps are not that strong, and can easily break if there is too much stress on those parts. I decided that I would redesign my object so that each connection point is more secure. I decided to make the object closer to the octagon shape like the mouthpiece and made the joining points of the tubes at a 45-degree angle. After this, I added the flaps to each of my objects, then printed it out for the next class One thing I didn't notice while I was modelling in Rhino was that I didn't know that the objects were smaller than what I expected. I would like to try making to trombone lager, and e

 Following up on the paper modelling project from my object design class, the class was taught the first step into the process of making paper models.  The class was instructed about how to model in Rhino 7 with surfaces to create objects what we desire. We also learned the commands ExtrudeCrv, Explode, Loft, and Planar Srf to make planer surfaces so that we can later use them as the blueprints for a laser cutter when drawing the templates for the objects on paper. Aside from technical requirements, there were many requirements for this project.  The object itself has to have significance with the modeller's life. The object that I decided to make was a simplistic Trombone   Although this is not the first instrument I played when I took the required music class in seventh grade, this was the instrument I used when my jr high band teacher offered me to play in a community band. After that, I have played a lot of songs leagues beyond the material I was given in my high school. I'

Paper Modeling Intro

 In the coming Object Design class, we are going to learn about modelling in the 3D program Rhino. Rhino is however a very advanced program, so before the class works on Rhino, we are studying about Paper Craft as a Media for Modeling I believe a decent amount of western people don't think that paper is not a common medium of modelling. Paper is extremely common in people's daily lives, but most people only use them as a utility to put imprints like sketches, ink or paint on. However paper is still on its own is overlooked for its ability to model and make art. Our design professor gave us some articles to delve into to research and explore the paper modelling medium to get us inspired for the coming projects.  Although there are many different and interesting ways in which paper has been used to model, I personally am attached to the traditional media of origami since I grew up with it.  I have done a lot of origami as a child, and I have enjoyed making basic toys and fun mode

Questionable Finally

For the third and final part of the Remix culture projects. I finally have done high-quality renders of the Crawly Binky! Working in Rhino 7 was interesting. I found that the basic features were able to render synthetic substances like metal, paint, and plastic. This made the spider itself a bit harder to make since it was an organic creature. I decided t make the spider look tougher by giving a metallic texture instead of a realistic organic texture. I'm satisfied with my work this time, and I hope all of you stay well.
