Jasmine's 3D Object Design Blog

 I'm back again with another 3D Rhino Model, tasked this time with creating a castle. Immediately I wanted to try something a little different, and really push how far I can go with a design and still make it represent a castle. Now because I love steampunk, I used that as a major inspiration for my design. I integrated gears and pipes all over the structure of the castle, and I think it added somer really nice touches to the final design. I mostly used the extrudecrv tool, since it was much easier to make all my original shapes in 2D, and then transform them into 3D objects. I also placed some other abstract structures using the loft tool that surround the main castle, which resulted in the gear tower in the middle. I like how striking the large gear became, it really brings the whole thing together. Overall I am really happy with my work and I'm excited to continue working in Rhino 7 this year!

For our final 3D printing project, me and my partner Emily created this abstract structure by combining the concepts and ideas that we generated separately into a brand new form. By analyzing our models and working together to create a brand new design, we were able to sucessfully create a unique and interesting 3D-printable structure that combines both of our artistic voices into one.     We first started by examining the models we generated from the idea process of this project. We took each model into consideration as to how it would form into a proper structure, and eventually settled on the hourglass shape that I had created, and the twisting support beams that Emily had created. We also originally wanted to incoperate Emily's heart-shaped design and the arch, but they were both cut due to not being easy to print. We did however split the arch in half, which can be seen in our final product. My Models Emily's Models We did some early process sketches that aided us in crea...

 I have finally finished the papercraft model of my original character Ezrab. I had to deal with a lot of technical issues with this project, but I am very happy with the final result. I completely remade my prototype model in order to really push myself to make something incredible. Unfortnately, I ran into quite a few issues when building my model. For example, for my final model I wanted it to have a spherical head, however I had to scrap the idea last minute due to it looking messy and not fitting well together, I do think the final product looks better this way though. I am reallyhappy with the result and seeing this character that means so much to me come to life right in front of me is one of the coolest experiences ever. I'm very proud of what I've been able to accomplish. Final Object 2D Pieces Scrapped Spherical Head

For my prototype build, I decided to recreate the model I made previously into cardstock. I cut out all of the smaller parts and glued them to create the final product seen here. As for where I go from here, I definitely want to go back and add a lot more detail to the model. I want to replace the polygonal prism with a more spherical build along with adding a lot of extra details in order for this model to match the character I created more closely. I also would probably practice working on my gluing skills, as there is a lot to improve on in that front.   

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.

 For this assignment I was tasked to create an object with eight unique forms in Rhino 7 that can be unfolded and recreated in paper. I was having trouble coming up with an idea for an item that would be meaningful to me, so I decided to take this project in a slightly different direction. I wanted to create something that would have meaning in my life, so I decided to create a simplified and more cubical version of a character I made around two years ago. I've used this character for a lot of my personal projects including a 60+ page comic script that I created almost a whole year ago. The character was originally a lot more spherical, but I was running into a few issues in the creation process, forcing me to simplify and work with cubes and polygons instead. If I were to go further with this idea, I would love to add more detail and make this design truly shine.
