Castle!

 Makin' the castle: 

      The castle seemed a bit tricky at first until I figured out more of what the tools do and how they work. I looked on YouTube for some tips making the wall around the castle. My idea was to make the walls have bricks at the top. I ended up found a video on making gears that showed me the how to work the ARRAY and OFFSET command on a basic level. I also messed around with the BOOLEAN SEPARATION to create the four windows on the tower, just applying what I know from Blender and Cura.

      I had a lot of fun though working on the castle, it never felt too confusing trying to navigate the Rhino program or figuring out the tools (alright some tools are still a bit odd to me). Here is some screenshots of my end reslult:

    I love the small scale of this, tells a great story. I imagine there's an ex-king who lost his kingdom, but has walled himself in a tower, holding onto their kingdom with the tall flag.

    I'm impressed. Rhino is totally odd. I find it difficult to set my mind in any digital program/ecosystem especially because I work so much with the adobe programs.

Milestone Projects!

Milestone Project 1: Castle For the first milestone project, it was lot of me just trying to figure out the Rhino program because I had never worked with it before. Honestly, it felt frustrating trying to figure out the tools and how they work within the program. I think I was trying to work it like Blender, which helped in some aspects. But it did not help in others, they do both work differently. I did have trouble with orientation and perspective, moving around on the field needed some getting used to for sure. I think once I figured out that the program basically runs on commands you give (and how it shows you these on the top bar), things made a lot more sense and wrapping my head around making the castle felt more free. I know for the castle, I wanted to make it simple but still have interesting aspects to it, I enjoy the feel of making the tiny structures, and personalizing them. My main idea was to make the castle cartoonish by minimizing features and keeping some parts simple....

Reverse Engineered Object

  Reverse Engineered Project Progress so far + finishing touches For the last stretch of the project, there was a lot of hurdles I felt like I had to jump through. This time I was tackling more of the complicated geometry and shapes in the helicopter toy. The rails, the blade, and the gears were all the parts of the helicopter that I had just finished. It definitely looked easier than it was implementing these measurements and making them into 3d objects . I did have some moments where I had to just start over on some parts of the model because I had went about bringing the models into 3d in a way that really didn't work for the forms I wanted to create. A lot of the time, when I'd bring these models into 3d, there was a lot of trial and error in figuring out how to continually work on the shape until it resembles the real part. This is how I managed to to create the rail and helicopter, a lot of fine tuning the object until it's true to the measurements. The gears are so...
