MILESTONE PROJECTS

Here are the 3 milestone projects that I worked on this semester. It was a wild and fun ride and I'm glad that I got to learn a lot of useful skills that I will use in the future to make more stuff!


Mesh Mashup: Ramen Ocean 





Papercraft Object: WcDonalds





Hollow Form 3D Print (Models and 3D Print): Gary the Demonic Snail

Giving Life to Animals - Origami by Hoang Tien Quyet (Papercraft: Research)

Origami Animals     Origami is a Japanese artform that has been around for thousands of years and is an beautiful piece of culture that is practiced all over the world. Hoang Tien Quyet, a Vietnamese artist, creates origami, but adds his own unique spin on it.   Quyet applies the wet-folding method to curve paper, rather than solely relying on straight lines, which is a technique invented by a master named Akira Yoshizawa. To use this technique, you must ensure the paper is a bit moist for the effective curves, and thick because regular paper is too fragile. He also adds personality and character to these animals by playing around with their poses.  In addition to the animals, Quyet also expands his subject by creating plants, objects and human figures.  There is also a sense of realism because of the round features that can only be done effectively with wet-folding. The level of complexity and precision really shows how much care and practice he has p...

Gary the Demonic Snail

For this project, we were given the task to craft a self-supporting object using concept designs molded by the bend, twist, taper, and/or stretch tool. It was a great pleasure working with Jenna on this project! These are the 6 concepts that I came up with when playing around with Rhino using the loft, twist, taper, stretch, and bend tools.  We have decided to incorporate Jenna's octagonal tubes with my snail-like design.   To help us visualize the final product, we drew some concept sketches.  We ran into some issues in the simulation phase before printing so we had to trim some parts. This is what it looks like before printing.  The final product is a fusion between the arcs and tube-like structures from our original concepts.

The Power of Rhino and Cardstock Paper

  Papercraft Objects: First Prototype For this project, I have decided to work towards a drink cup to reminisce all the times I went out drinking (I don't drink alcohol) with my friends. In the final, I would like to add a logo and another element to complement the cup.  First, I start of with a completed form in Rhino.  Next I unroll the individual components that I will use in the prototype which  includes the cup base and lid but the straw (similar form to the base) will be in the final creation. Finally before printing, I set it to PDF mode.  Here is what it looks like after cutting, scoring, and folding. Now here is the prototype after gluing.
