Castle Assignment

Image
 Final Model For this assignment, I created a small castle with windows inspired by European architecture, while aiming for it to look like a mansion someone could be living in. This building has a lot of windows, so I imagine that if it was real, it would be surrounded by a scenic nature view.  Here's how it turned out:                                 And here are two screenshots taken based on how the point of view of a person walking around the castle would be like:  Creation Process: To make this, I first started making rough sketches of the general layout while looking at castle references, and once I realized I wanted there to be a lot of windows, I came up with a few designs and variations that I would use throughout the model.       I figured I would really be able to visualize my concept if I started working on it and sorted the rough edges along the way, so I didn't sk...

Laser-cut Paper Vessel Model: The Coffee Pot

Image
For the next step, we made a model in Rhino for how the coffee pot would be based on our sketches. Here is the top part, made by Talia: Here is the complete coffee pot model, after I made the bottom and changed the lid: The lid comes off so that we can store coffee beans inside, and the top part also comes off to create a second compartment—maybe to store a different kind of coffee beans or even sugar. After the model was complete, we disassembled all the individual parts and used the commands Explode and Rotate3D to flatten them.  After this, we added tabs to the flattened surfaces and recolored the lines for the laser cutter to recognize which areas to cut completely or partially. After this, we printed off the final version with the laser cutter and assembled it.

Laser-cut Paper Vessel Concepts

Image
The idea for this next project was to create a vessel for something with cardboard paper. To do that, we can create a model in Rhino, use the command explode, flatten its surfaces, add tabs, laser cut it, and then assemble the final product. My assigned group was Cormac and Talia, so we all worked together to create concepts for this project. In the end, we came up with the idea of making a mock expresso maker that could store coffee beans. Here are Talia's sketches: Here are my sketches: With this, we proceeded with the creation of a model in Rhino.
