Part 1: I made the sketches above to help me visualize what my final product might look like. I enjoyed unrolling objects, and so I decided to do something similar for lab 4, and so for my final project I decided to create what I made from lab 4. To do this I will needContinue reading “Final Project (All parts)”

My idea for my final project is to make something abstract using the skills we learned from unrolling. We cant use any laser cutters or 3D printers, but I can still find printer paper and make unrolled objects. Cubes are simple to unroll and simple to make, so I decided to use cubes as aContinue reading “Lab 4”

For this part of the lab I modeled a banana, a banana holder, and a sink. Modeling the banana was definitely the most difficult. It was deceptively hard to get the right shape and texture. I had to use the ExtrudeCrvAlongCrv command to get the initial shape of the banana, and then I had toContinue reading “Lab3 C”

Part B of this lab was the most fun. I decided to make the octahedron from the file provided to us. It was really fun to print it out and fold it together. As you fold it you can really see the shape come to life. In one of our recitations we folded an unrolledContinue reading “Lab3 B”

Part A of lab 3 was very interesting. I made three objects with the intent of unrolling them. I started out by making a snowman because I was interested to see what unrolling three spheres on top of each other would look like. To make it look more like a snowman I added some armsContinue reading “Lab3 A”

Lab 2 part D was my favorite part of lab 2. It felt really good to work with wood because it is so much sturdier than cardboard. But what I like the most about this part of the lab is holding and playing with the finished products. There’s something so satisfying about putting the jointsContinue reading “Lab 2D”

The original idea behind my object was to be a staircase. However once I finished modelling it other things started to jump out at me. In my eyes it went from a staircase to a chair, to a bench, to a shelf. But one recurring theme behind all these items is furniture. Whether a stair,Continue reading “Lab 2C”

Lab 2 part B was really fun. Thinking about what object to make wasn’t as simple as it sounds. Not only do you have to think of something interesting to model, but you also have to think of how it will slice. I decided on making a curved “stair” like object, for the reason thatContinue reading “Lab 2B”

For my real life object I chose to model my water bottle. It is a simple model, essentially just a cylinder, however to make it look accurate I had to fillet the edges and add a loop. Filleting the edges was not a problem, however the loop had some difficulties. Extruding the loop in theContinue reading “Lab 2A”

Part C was my favorite part of Lab 1. It was fun to finally work with 3D objects, and the tools are surprisingly more intuitive than the surfaces. My favorite tool is the cage edit. When I first used cage edit I made a super crazy object. I pulled the points all the way toContinue reading “Lab 1 Part C”
