3D Object Project

 For this project Araya and I worked together to make an interesting 3D model design. I've never 3D printed something, so it was very exciting to see and experience the entire process of this project

Here were my 6 models that I made 

(Design we chose for the final)







(Araya's models)

(Design we chose for the final model)




Here were some sketches of some of the combinations we tried out. We eventually settled on the last one of the little creature guy which I personally think is definitely the coolest one. It was worth trying out so many different combos to get a good final design.


First combination! We decided to use my weird bulb shape model and Araya's twizzler looking spiral model to create something that resembles a little jellyfish/creature guy. We also had to adjust each of our models a little to make it fit better into the concept. To make it more creature like, we added the two eyes onto my base. I think this design is really interesting because we managed to somehow make something resembling a cool creature out of two completely random shapes which is really neat. The bottom of this version of the design specifically was too steep and probably wouldn't print well, so in the final model we used a thinner base.
Final Revised Design

Printed Model!






    I was really happy with how this one turned out! There's not too much I can reflect on honestly because this project was surprisingly easy. We did definitely have to change a couple things around to make the final design work (Araya stretched the base and modeled the legs to fit the creature better in the final model which was awesome). I'd say the most important thing I learned from this (other then just learning to print with the 3D printer) was not to use the group function when I was trying to join things😭 that could have screwed me over in the future. In the end, I had a lot of fun with this project and it felt like a very nice way to leave off this semester.

Objectified Response

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.

Remix Project

  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.

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

Paper Folding

       For my paper folding project, I'm thinking of making a wii remote. The wii console was a big part of my childhood so I think it would make for a good model. For this project we were tasked with creating 8 different unique forms to create and unroll, so I thought this would be a really good opportunity to try and create a model of each part of the wii remote. (Remote main base) Immediately, I kinda ran into some problems with modeling. The lofting tool wouldn't work for me, it said "the curves are not connected" even though I tried multiple times to connect the curves. Hopefully I will figure that out in the future but for now I just used the surface creating tool. It was a bit finicky but it did help me get the models done. I think this base needs a little more shaping and I will definitely fix that for the final model. (Back Button) I think this back button looks pretty good! The only thing I would change is that the curve should be fully curved instead of the
