Reading Week Assignment: Bringing Roboppi Into the Third Dimension

The freedom allowed for this particular assignment was quite daunting for me at first. I could make whatever I want, so what should I do? Well, I decided to push myself and see if I can test out my 3D modelling skills that I have gained so far and try and create a model based off a character that I really enjoy. I've found myself really getting back into the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise lately and one character from Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS specifically couldn't leave my mind and served as a perfect fit for this project in particular. I'm talking about the adorable cleaning robot Roboppi! As soon as I saw this little guy I instantly knew I would love him. His simplistic form combined with the variety of shapes served as amazing practice for my current skillset in Rhino 7. Plus it's such an amazing feeling to see a character typically seen in 2D to bridge the gap into the 3rd dimension. I'm really proud of what I was able to create with this extra credit assignment.

I decided to model a simple set of emotions for Roboppi based on some of the emotion he makes during the show. I think it really brings out Roboppi's personality and I had a lot of fun recreating this funny little robot.

I had a lot of fun experimenting with lots of tools that I haven't been able to use before, and I think I really pushed myself to make something that I'm really happy with. I hope to make more awesome projects like this in the future!

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

Reversed Engineering: Final Power Bar Model

Image
  The final touches for the reversed engineering project have now been officially completed. I tried my very best to replicate my model to the original design and measurements as much as possible, and I am very happy with the final result. This project was extremely time consuming and with the amount of issues that I had to deal with along the way, I am just glad to move onto other projects. It was quite frustrating modelling a specific piece only to realize I measured it wrong. Despite that, I do feel like I learned a lot from this project that I wouldn't have otherwise, so I am glad that I took this on. A part of me wishes I chose a simpler object to model, but I am glad that I challenged myself and learned so much along the way. I am proud of everything that I was able to accomplish with this project. Exploded Model

Surface Design: Final Lasercut

Image
  Here is the final lasercut design for the surface design project. I played around with the values quite a bit before cutting, so that I'd get the perfect result the first time around. I am super happy with how all the different values translated into the wood. It created a visually interesting final product that I am extremely happy with.
