Toy Hammer

Designing a Toy Hammer

Designing the Toy Hammer:
I had a really hard time designing the hammer. I couldn't get the edges to join properly and did not hide my extra lines at all. I received a C on this project and probably because I didn't spend enough time on it. this model contained a lot of attention to details. For this project we had to make a lot of layers, so I did that. I had to make sure all the dimensions were correct, so that took a little bit. We first had to create the claw. I used the circle and curve commands to make the claw. Then you extrude this. Then you created the head and revolve it. To add the head to the claw, you use boolean difference. Then we created the slit in the claw. Next I worked on the tang and handle, and then came the hole for the handle. By now I was getting used to the boolean difference command. We didn't have to render this assignment so I didn't. 
What Could I Have Done Better?
I definitely could have worked harder and tried to attempt the project sooner. Due to the fact that I didn't my assignment showed. I couldn't get the handle edges to join for the life of me, but I'm sure that if I went back and attempted again I could make them join. I would have also made sure the layer curves were hidden. 
Aspects of the Project I was Happy With:
I was happy with how my attempt turned out with at least a pretty similar model. I was happy I tried and at least turned something in. I did the claw right so I'm happy with that also.
What Would I do Differently in the Future?
In the future, I would probably take more time to work on the assignment, or ask for more help. I would definitely problem solve better too. I would even email my professor and ask for his help too. I would put my layers in the correct layers also, and make a page for hide so I can hide certain lines.



What did I Learn from the Project?
I learned that even though an assignment can be tough, to still work through it and ask questions. I learned that if you can't figure it out, at least turn something in. I learned how to use layers even more, and how to use boolean difference.

3D Head Scan

3D Head Scan How I Did The Head Scan This was one of the first projects we did, along with the homework. Frankie took each student out in the hallway and scanned their heads and upper bodies. This process took a while, because the scans had to be pretty much perfect. I remember I had to redo mine because I thought Frankie was done with the scan, but he wasn't. I had to redo my scan a couple times. I didn't want to have my scan done with my glasses on also.  What Could I Have Done Better? I could have remembered to dress up the day we took the scans instead of forgetting and having to wait to retake it. I also could have sat more still during the scanning process so my instructor didn't have to restart it.  Aspects of the Project I Am Happy With? The project is definitely a unique one and I am happy that I got to even have a scan done of me. I am happy with how it turned out and that I can put myself in Rhino or Sculptris and manipulate parts. I think everyo

Chess Set Project

Designing the Chess Set Designing the Chess Set: I came up with a really unique idea for my chess set. The previous night I had watched the film, "Coraline." This 3D animation film is a Tim Burton movie, and I love 3D animation. I wanted to create little animated monsters for the pieces of my chess set. The monsters would look really cute and playful, while also being monsters. My idea towards this game was to be more kid-friendly. My best friend in this project would have to be the rebuild command. This made it to where I could move around the control points to mold my little creatures into six unique creatures. The knight was a rabbit looking creature, the pawn looked like a cute robot, the rook looked like a little mushroom guy, the queen was a crocodile dinosaur looking creature, the king resembled a larger monster with a circular head and body, and lastly, the bishop resembled an alien type creature, with only one eye. I hand drew each little creature. I made one si

Introduction to Rhinoceros

Introduction to Rhinoceros Vinyl Tattoo Project Hey there! I'm Hannah and welcome to my blog. I was first introduced to Rhinoceros in my Intro to Studio Art and Design class. Before this class, I had only been into painting and drawing. I had never previously worked with a software before, so it was really challenging for me at first. But nevertheless, I pulled through and really made a significant difference within the last couple projects. I struggled with the homework, due to the fact that I was just getting to know all of the different commands, and how to do certain techniques. I feel that I really could show off my unique style through the different projects we were assigned, such as the Vinyl Tattoo Project, as well as the Chess Set Project.  Ring Project Chess Set Project Artistic View Chess Set Project
