Refined Remix

My goal when mashing these three objects together was to create a new concept completely separate form the original designs. By combining the head and hands of a human with the body of a dragon I created a new creature that is even more unsettling. It could even be considered a juxtaposition of something like the Egyptian sphinx. There's just something incredibly strange about a large scary creature contrasted against something as familiar as a human head.

My original concept only had the face of a human, but after some deliberation with classmates they convinced me it would add to the effect if it had human hands as well. This object got the greatest reaction after viewing it, and all my classmates agreed that it held the most potential. That's why I chose this object out of the 10 previous ideas that I spewed out. It allowed for the most improvement and could be modified the most compared to the other ideas. 

Here is the process that I went through creating it.

Original Pieces:

I then combined the objects in Tinkercad to create a rough model

I then smoothed everything out in Meshmixer to create a tangible and coherent object that transitioned smoothly (while adding a few extra details along the way)

After it was all smoothed out I transferred it to Rhinoceros 3D and created some HD renders to show off the final product.

Papercraft Digital Samples

Image
The point of this project was to design objects in Rhinoceros 3D for papercraft. I did this by initially creating a geometrical 3D object, breaking it apart, and then unfolding just like actual paper. The papercraft objects I chose to design were mostly either inspired by my previous post about paper and light artwork created by Deepti Nair and Harikrishnan Panicker, or were parodies of the object it was based off of.  (Fig. 1) A sword, normally a heavy strong weapon used in combat, now reduced to a light harmless toy.  (Fig. 2) A tank, again a very heavy and powerful war machine, turned into something that can be destroyed with a handheld lighter  (Fig. 3) A small house, with some holes cut out and some drawing on the outside this would look very cool with a light inside, almost like a decorative Christmas village house.  (Fig. 4) A pencil is normally used to write on paper, something that I have done way too much. Now it is turned into paper,...

Hollow Form Printing Concepts

Image
Concept Generation Each of these objects is designed specifically to be printable as a shell. When creating these concepts I made a scale from fairly safe designs that should easily print, to incredibly risky objects that have a way higher chance of failing. In order to be a printable hollow form object, the design has to be able to support itself and at the same time fall within the parameters set by the printer itself. For a lot of these objects I designed I used the twist command because not only did it look great but it could support sharper angles without caving in, making a stronger hollow form object. Although the second design is my personal favourite, I think that designs one, four, and five are pushing the printer to further limits and my be a better choice to pursue. It will be interesting to see how well these objects print.

Objectification Inspired Computer

Image
The Customizable Computer This object was inspired by the documentary Objectified  by Gary Hustwit. A lot of the objects and ideas presented in the film focused on the functionality of an object. For example the interchangeable  heads for a toothbrush, allowing the user to replace the head and keep the body saving both the environment and the user's money. Another concept in the film focused on customizability, and making an object unique to the owner. This two main ideas are what inspired me to make the customizable computer. It's essentially a computer designed to be taken apart by the owner and put back together easily. For example if someone loved to play music they could switch out their memory for a smaller one in order to fit in larger speakers. If a person preferred to play video games they could completely remove their speakers for a larger processor as easily as changing remote batteries. This allows users to customize their computer however they want with ease a...
