Replicated/Remediated Object: Progress 2

-

3D Print 

This week most of my efforts for this project focused on getting my object ready to print and printing both the full and half variations to make my mould out of. I first started in Rhino by making sure by design would fit within the 90mmx90mmx180mm box with an offset. After I added a spout to the top of my object. I then boolean split and boolean differenced by object inside the box space to make sure that there would be no issues when creating the mould. 

After this I created solid forms of both the entire object and halved version. I then went into slicer to get ready to 3D print my objects as hollow forms. 






I decided to take video of my projects printing and added some photos of both the final printed objects before parting with them and leaving them at the school. 






Laser cut 

Alongside 3D printing my final form to make my mould I also prepped by file to laser cut a match plate for my form. I am very excited for next week and getting to learn and do some slip casting!

Mile Stone Project 1Stacked Slice: Progress

I started this week by branching off of the in-class demonstrations. I enjoyed the loft demo and sweep demo the most so I decided to continue to work on those. I created to forms from those class demos that I then used with the contour parameter to produce the two works below   ( I struggled with the extrusion on this one but was able to get the contour lines, I think it is an issue with the geometry that I created in Rhino. I am still working to fix this issue with planar surface, etc. ) After creating these two forms that were direct interpretations of the class demo's I decided to explore what I could create using the techniques learned in the demo's The first is a bowl like structure where I used loft to control the inner depth. The second is a squared statue like structure that I created in Rhino, and applied the contour slicing to. ( I think if I continue with this square option I want to explore using different vectors to change the direction of the contours to create a

OBDF 310 Milestones

This class has been my favorite class this semester, and offered a nice hands-on project experience that I usually do not get to enjoy in my usual graphic design and advertising courses. I was fairly comfortable with Rhino going into this class as I had just completed OBDF210 last semester, but found the addition of Grasshopper both challenging and exciting. Grasshopper has really opened my mind and spurred my creativity towards what I can create in these programs. Since the school does not offer a 400 level OBDF course I plan on investing my own time over the summer and next year to further my understanding and artistic practice using the software.  My First Definition This was one of my first times using Grasshopper and while I was initially a little scared to learn a new program, I am so happy I did. After completing this assignment I quickly understood the possibilities  Grasshopper open to working in 3D space. I am still very proud of what I created for my first definition, and th

OBDF 310: Animation Struggles and Triumphs.

 This weekly assignment was a doozy. I knew what I wanted to create this week for my animation assignment, however upon opening grasshopper I realized I had no idea how to accomplish this, or how to word what I wanted to create. I spent lots of time this week exploring the various sections of parameters to find what I needed. For my animation I wanted to use the 3D populate parameter to create a cube where the inner forms would change.  After lots of exploring in grasshopper, and numerous google searches I discovered I needed to use a Voronoi parameter to create my desired pattern. After I found this parameter and used it alongside my box and 3D populate parameter, it just became a project of understanding what inputs I needed to have control over the cell-like shapes. My final algorithmic sequence looked like this.  The purple group is where I started my design, I used a box parameter to fulfil the boundary of my Voronoi. I also connected the box to the region input of the 3D populate
