Weekly Assignment 4 - Material Render

 

Project Material Render


I rendered six plates in Rhino, positioned on a wall like they will be in the final install. Above, a rendered image of the plates before any "damage." The material is porcelain, and the designs are paint. 

Above is the single plate that I created (then would later copy for the other 5) as well as the layers that I used. 


Back view of the plate, to show depth.

Project 3 Week 1

3D Printing Design Concepts       This project proved difficult to decide on concepts for because I have no attachment or familiarity with 3D printing. Once we had a demonstration, I recalled one of the artists from my inspiration presentation, Elvira Dayel, describing 3D printing as a medium similar to drawing. Through the demo I could really connect with her describing it that way. Coupled with our discussion in class, I'm going forward with this project considering the process of 3D printing to be the focus of this piece rather than the resulting printed object.     After our 3D printing demo and discussion in class, I've got a couple working ideas for a 3D print project. The deciding factor on which direction to go in will be determined by the print tests I have scheduled this week.      The sketches above outline my two paths of thinking for this project. Below, I will outline the two ideas and as stated above, allow the tests to be the deciding factor for which one I'

 Milestone Project Review Architecture Façade     This first assignment is a little funny to look back on, considering all of the new Rhino skills I've gained since then. It is easy to critique it and think of all the different ways I would go about building it now. However, for a first exploration into Rhino software I'm still satisfied with it.    Laser Cut     This laser cut project was one of my favorites projects from this class. I really enjoyed exploring the relationship between "home goods" or sentimental objects and the industrial process of laser cutting and engraving. As well, it was interesting to explore the limitations of machines in our modern society.       If I were to return to this project, I would continue with the theme of chaos vs control, but I would source a laser cutter that could actually complete the cut jobs.  Organic Object Model     This assignment was an interesting take on reverse engineering an object. It was a good use of practice of

Weekly Assignment 7

 3D Print Tests     After creating 3 different prototypes in Rhino, two to test planned failures and one to test contour "drawing," I finalized one of the designs and proceeded to print it.   I decided on the cantilever design, due to time constraints I believed it would make for the most interesting visual "failure." slow mo.MOV test print.MOV Next Steps The cantilever test worked as I had hoped, so I will be proceeding with this design. The next step will be to create a more aesthetic "base" for the cantilevers, and then proceed to print. I'm still awaiting confirmation on if I can use all 5 printers at once, but if not then multiple prints on the same printer should still convey the desired message.
