3D model   Objectified Response Mesh Mashup Papercraft

Over these 2 weeks, I created the final version of my wii remote papercraft For the final version of my wii remote, I first started by figuring out what changes I needed to make to the prototype to get a better end result. I stumbled upon this photo of these cool stylized wii remotes and decided that I was going to use the Princess Peach themed one as inspiration for the colour of my own.  I also decided to split the wii remote into two parts. This was mainly for two reasons; A) the Peach remote was separated into two different shades of pink and B) the wii remote actually has a noticeable line of separation between the top and bottom half. It also just made it easier to construct to be honest. I decided to cut out the cross and "A" button from the top base and connect them from the inside as suggested in the critic session. I reduced the smaller buttons purely to flat pieces rather than trying to fold them.  I started with the bottom base. Because I sorta like the process of

 This week we were tasked with making a prototype of our paper project to practice getting the form and details of our form right. For this, I am designing a Wii remote (as I'm sure is evident by my other posts lolol) I started off by taking the base model I designed last week and added the buttons that I was planning to add. Then I proceeded to unroll everything and prepared it for printing.  Unfolded buttons  *Some of the buttons in this page specifically are way too big. I did resize them but theyre still a little big on the prototype. I will fix this for the official model, however I struggled a lot to fold the smaller buttons so they may have to remain oversized in order to keep their form. Constructing the base! Went fairly well, except for the top sides. I realized I screwed up the way it should fold together a little so again I will fix that later on. I used the blunt backside of some tweezers to score the paper and it worked super well.  Final Model! As you can see, the bu

I'm not entirely sure if we had to blog this but I've done it now and I think it's a fun record of my progress ٩(˘◡˘)۶   For my paper replica, I chose the main base of the wii remote to model. I thought this was the most important component to experiment with since it is most of the design. For the first step, modeling the remote, I actually didn't have as much trouble as last time. This version is definitely better then the last one and unfolded into a more functional form that can be easily refolded. Unfolding also went smoothly. For some reason last time I was stuck in the idea that the unfolded version had to be one connected piece, which definitely screwed me up for a few designs. Here the triangle ends meshed with the small triangle folds below it so I separated them. It's not shown in this photo, but I realized that the small corner rectangles (on the right of design) had to come off too, so they are also separated as shown in later photos. The unfolded desig
