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

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
