Object to Build of Paper

 To find an object of significance, or just an object in general to represent yourself can be difficult. I was feeling a little reminiscent when I decided on my object - A Bird of Paradise, which is a very beautiful topical flower. The flower holds significance to me as it was my mom's favourite flower and she was and still is one of my biggest inspirations, I really owe a lot of my creativity to her. At her funeral last year I was reminded of what a beautiful flower it really is, and I have incorporated it into a lot of my works since. To make it out of paper will be an interesting challenge and I will be hoping it turns out well!

Final papercraft

Image
     This project was to make an object modelled in rhino into a paper object in real life, I struggled with the final rendition of this project. I chose to work with a slightly thicker paper than card-stock, and because of this the laser cutter caused a lot of my pieces to just break off when I was folding them. I only chose to do this so I could scale up my object, and so this frustrated me while building. A lot of the pieces that I made originally 3 dimensional, had to be flattened as they kept breaking.

Rendering

Image
 To continue to build on the mashup project we where asked to take one of our concepts and render it. I chose to use my concept of a village inside of  a street lamp, I developed the concept to glass figurines of a city in the lamp to make the idea that the village creates the light. I started with this, and I really liked that the light came from the center of the village however rhino did not like it as much, and all of the renders from this light perspective became blurry due to the refracting light of the glass houses.  I then moved the light to outside the lamp where it was not as extreme and the render became much more clear. from a distance the render was blurry again.  after spending 5 hours trying to un blur the blurry render I realized that I still have alooooot to learn in rhino, and I am excited to learn more about it and maybe learn the root cause of the blurry images.

      This project is to mix objects with one another, finding the objects on thingverse, we are to mix objects together and alter their meaning.   this is my first attempt at mixing objects, I mixed a bolt with a star and I made a star-bolt, now I don't know how functional it is but its cute! ;)  objects used: Big Bolt - Lethal Company - actually game model accurate by MichalMazurekProps - Thingiverse Christmas Tree Topper Star by Guillermoqs - Thingiverse   The idea for this object was a village in a lamp, I always thought of little cities that might live inside lamps when I was little and this time the thought was something I could make into an object!  Objects used:  Miniature Streetlamp by MikkelT - Thingiverse   Little Christmas Village by yeg3d - Thingiverse Courtyard Fountain by BrentNewhall - Thingiverse A mining cart filled with a rose, twisting the meaning of a typically very dirty and grungy object and making it beautiful and delicate by adding a rose.  Objects used: Ro
