Surface Design Research and Final Product

Over the past two weeks I was tasked with researching and creating my own surface design using the 2D tools in Rhino such as layers and hatching.
 


From the research I gathered, I knew I wanted to go with a floral design, but I also wanted it to be a bit playful. I really liked the camo pattern I found on one of my jackets, so I took a lot of inspiration from that when it came to the background of my design. I wanted it to sort of represt either clouds or patches of water, but also represent the camo pattern in the core design. I really like both the floral and aquatic feel my design has, giving it a bit of a unique twist. I honestly could see it being a great pattern for a dress.

Here are all of the surface design inspiration images I found while doing research for this project:













Looking at all of my images, it's clear to me which ones inspired my final design the most, and I'm quite happy with the result!

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.
