Mesh Mashup

 For this project, I was tasked to mash two or more models from the website Thingiverse in order to create an entirely new remixed model in Tinkercad. I have meshed together ten remixed models that will be showcased here:

The first is a remix between an arcade machine and some mechanical robot legs. I wanted to combine both old technology with new in order to create an entirely new feeling to this creation.

Banana Pear is one of my more comedic models. I thought that combining two pieces that aren't typically mixed together would create an interesting result.

This was one of my more random ideas. I wanted to choose some of the leftover pieces I had from previous models to see what I could create. Combining the cup, the apples and the bear head resulted in quite the interesting composition.

This idea became a little more abstract, as I wanted it to feel as if the crystals were bursting out of the body of the teddy bear. It gives off a bit of a creepy atmosphere with the roundness of the body juxtaposed with the sharp edges of the crystal.

I discovered the fork model and the first idea that came to mind was to combine it with an actual hand. I always connect the prongs of a fork to the similarities to the human hand, so this felt like a fitting combination.

Another use of the hand model, but this time with an old-fashioned arcade controller. I like the idea of the joysticks being replaced with hands, as hands are usually the ones controlling it. I don't know how exactly I would feel if the controller was holding my hand back.

I saw this mushroom model and I immediately wanted to find something round to make up the spots on the top, so the first thing that came to mind were some soccer balls. While the two models aren't the most related to one another, I still think it brings forth an interesting visual.

The Octopus Ocarina is a remix that definitely gives off a very eery feeling when I look at it. The idea of long tentacles squirming in the holes of the instrument makes me feel tense just thinking about it. However, the visual is quite intruiging in my opinion. 

The mix between a single tentacle and a fire hydrant was an idea that caught my eye very quickly. I always associate tentacles with the deep ocean, so to have one hide inside a fire hydrant is quite unexpected. I think that combined, these two models create an interesting result.

This utencil castle is the combination of the classic fork, knife and spoon with a medieval-style castle. When I think of cutlery I sometimes connect it to royalty, so combining the two ideas made that connection even stronger.

3D Chess Set: Putting all the Pieces Together

Image
  For the final project, I was tasked to design and 3D print each key piece included in a chess set. I decided to implement my love of character design into my concept for the set, as I went with a theme of a sort of other-worldly and robotic set of pieces. I think each and every piece comes with a little bit of personality while still being unified with the other pieces. I am really happy with how all of the pieces turned out and it was really fun playing around with 3D technology! I took all the feedback from the peer review session into account when going into the final stages, and I am really proud of what I have been able to create. I'm looking forward to trying out more things involving 3D technology and 3D printing in the future. base models before meshmixer concept sketches bishop king knight pawn queen rook

PaperCraft Research: Hari and Deepti's Paper Lightboxes

Image
 When analyzing and reading the list of articles, I was immediately drawn to the work of Hari and Deepti and their visually captivating lightboxes. The couple uses the medium of paper to layer pieces on top of one another to create a stunning visual when put under a light. These boxes have a narritive element to it, creating a great sense of mood for the piece.  The simplistic style along with the way the light moves through the pieces speaks for itself. Their work is very illustrative in nature, and yet it brings in a whole other dimension by utilizing the material of paper. Hari and Deepti continue to create these works and have even created a narrative picture book using the style of their artworks.  The impact of the pieces when the light isn't utilized also creates an interesting work of art. Looking closely at all the small cuts and layers of the paper shows just how much work is put into every single piece. Every layer contributes to the mood and detail of the work. This sty

Reversed Engineering: Deciding The Perfect Item To Take Apart

Image
Here's the beginning of my planning for the Reversed Engineering project. I'll be honest when I say that this was a very difficult process for me. I had very little items that I was comfortable in messing around and potentially taking apart. I felt a bit restricted being in dorms as I only have the necesssities with me, while imagining all the cool and interesting objects I have back at home in BC that would be perfect for this project. But alas, I must work with what I have available. The first object that I thought would be cool to take apart and recreate was this power strip. I think recreating all the little grooves and holes in Rhino would be super fun, so this is the item that I'm currently leaning towards.  The next item is this headlamp that I found. I thought it would be interesting to look at the inner workings of it, specifically how all those small parts fit together, but it's definitely not my first choice. And finally I decided to take a look at my old com
