3D-PRINTED CHESS SET

These are my sketches

everyone told me in the peer-to-peer to go with the indigenous one because it will be more challenging and unique. A lot of people help me come up with how to print the objects. like, putting some of the objects on its side to print to make it easy on me later.

The Pawn is a Cree drum

The Bishop is a hunting arrow

The Rook is a Teepee

The Knight is a jingle dancer

The Queen is a dream catcher

The king is a bison

this is the entire set Mocked up on a chessboard

SURFACE DESIGN STUDY

So, this project was time-consuming and very challenging for me. After finishing this project, I am more confident in problem-solving in rhino. 10 examples of surface design ( I put all the photos together so it would be easier to look at in rhino ) I decided early on that I wanted the design to have a pattern on each side so that when rotated and copied, the pattern will have different reflections in it. Then I went into rhino and started out with basic shapes before using arrays. I selected this shape because I really like the dimensional attributes that came with the design. Using different values, you can play with your eyes to make things appear either in the foreground or background It took me a while with this shape, but I slowly found a pattern in the array tool to make it easier to edit. The shape was inspired by the textures that weave between knitted sweaters. I used the mirror tool to replicate the shape over the to...

REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT

In OBDF 210 the assignment this week is to choose objects we would like to reverse engineer. I think this project should be fun and challenging. I should be thoughtful When choosing an object because I will be staring at it for three weeks. The first object I selected was a saltshaker that I "got" from my old job it has a mechanical top. I think it would be interesting to recreate because it does have a lot of character with these little details everywhere. I also think it would be fun to recreate the salt particles all over the shaker. The next object that I thought about reverse designing was a can opener. I think it's a good object to select because it's very easily recognizable. the opener has some character and will be easy to take apart. the last object that I picked out was my first car's fob. The fob is held together with sports tape because it fell apart at my soccer game once so it's a perfect object to dissect. I think recreating the inside of t...
