For my mesh mashup I decided to choose my fish gumball machine to make into a final render. Originally I had planner to have more fish in the tank, but as I was working on it I found that Rhino was having increasingly more trouble rendering and just running in general. I have a pretty decent gaming computer but I think these fish models I grabbed must have been straining it. So in the end I decided to just keep my three fish in the tank. I grabbed these nice free fish models from sketchfab. They had some really good high quality ones and I think they look pretty cute here. Though original model for the blue fish is actually orange. I'm not entirely sure why it went purple, but honestly I liked the purple colour so I just left it as is.

  Remix Project What is remix culture? To me, remix culture is taking one object and merging it with another to create something new and interesting. There are various ways to remix, one example being through juxtaposition. Remix culture is incredibly important as it allows people to expand on others creativity to create limitless ideas and creations. Butterfly Skateboard For this creation I was thinking of different ways to remix a skateboard. It occurred to me that the board of a skateboard could look like the body of a butterfly, so I added wings. I feel like this sorta follows the feeling of "taking flight" when doing a jump when skateboarding. Skateboard by Nambler - Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4434080 Deviled Egg This devil egg was an attempt at making a more literal version of a deviled egg. I modeled the egg and the tail (hard to see in the picture but the tail is on the backside) and then remixed it by adding horns and dragon wings (which I used as ...

For this project I choose to model one of the cameras shown during the documentary. My choice was inspired by Karim Rashad's section of the video where he speaks about the design of the camera, and how we tend to design around old models despite the old design no longer relating how how the object actually functions today. I also thought that a camera design would just be fun to build since cameras are pretty layered. The brand of camera is not named in the documentary, but the label on the actual camera within the film says that it is a Silette pronto camera.

 In my first object design class I was introduced to Tinkercad and made my first project.
