Week 1: Objectified Response

Week One OBDF 110A: Objectified Response

For this assignment I decided to create a 3D design of a toothbrush. At various points in the documentary a toothbrush is shown, and I thought it would be an interesting object to re-create. I did not want to choose something too overly complex since I am new to 3D digital designs but I still wanted to make something that allowed me to experiment with the different shapes and tools offered in Tinkercad. I did not base my design on a specific brand or image of a toothbrush in the documentary but instead used my own design ideas.

Week 9 + 10: Papercraft Objects - Final Revision

 Week 9 + 10: Papercraft Objects - Final Revision Over a period of 2 weeks we are to finalize the design and create the final for our chosen papercraft object. I started off with adding and revising a few details: Cut and rotated the sides of the car to create doors Got rid of the fuel source on the back Made the top part a flat surface Added chairs, middle compartment, back wall with flux capacitor box attached, a wheel, headlights and taillights, and license plate Updated Folded Design: Renders: Printing Template: Here I added the few tabs that were missing from the previous design. Final: I had a lot more trouble putting this design together than the previous one for the prototype. If I were to redo it I would enlarge a few pieces. And I would also use multiple layers of cardstock on the body of the car to make it more sturdy since the final product is a little wonky. I am happy with how well it is all staying together since I used different glue.  Towards the end I decided...

Week 5: Papercraft Research

 Week 5: Papercraft Research For this research project I will be talking about  Illuminated Cut Paper Light Boxes by Hari & Deepti. Here are a few photos: This piece is my favorite: In order to create these pieces the artist couple cuts out intricate designs on watercolour paper. These cut outs are then placed inside of a lightbox which is lit from the back using small LED light strips. The use of layering combined with the lighting is what gives the art depth. Hari & Deepti are great storytellers and have discovered that the depth and layering achieved by using paper as a medium greatly reflects that.  The couple emphasize the duplicity of possibilities when using paper as a medium. Paper gives artists endless amounts of options of where to go with their work but it can also give them nothing or simplicity. It all depends on the ideas of the artist and where they want to take the piece. Hari and Deepti's work inspired me through their use of storytelling, which i...

Final Blog Post: Milestone Projects

 Final Blog Post: Milestone Projects Mesh Mashup: The original Tinkercad design for this was very different than the end result but I think that is what made this project successful. I ended up taking a bit of a mystical route in the design that gives the object an interesting narrative.  If I were to do this assignment again I would go back and smooth out some of the attachments such as the windows and lantern. In the final render the lack of detail got obscured. Or I would find a way to make the attachments on my own.  Papercraft Object: I had a lot of fun with this assignment and spent a lot of time on the details when working in Rhino. The only problem is that when printed some of the details were tiny and very difficult to piece together in real life. There were also a few structural and support problems when putting together the final design. I wish I had found a way to strengthen the bottom of the car in order to support everything on top better.  Hybrid 3D Mo...
