2D Pattern Week 2

 Week 2 + Feedback


In our conversation, the feedback I got made me feel like I was heading in the right direction with how I am approaching my project. I showed the linework for my code.

Got feedback on what colors I was going to use, I wanted to use either electronic colors (greens, blues, very matrixy) or warm earthy colors that resemble more the Pendleton designs. Warmer colors are what was recommended and I think I will give it a shot with all different types of warm colors, maybe one with the blues. I also shared my ideas of the all black and white and they thought that would too.

After some thinking and determining what would be best for my project. I deciding the black and white would look a lot more subtle, and would add to this idea of indigenous ideas kinda being hidden away or unexplored. 

Going through this project inspired me in many ways, I am even thinking of taking this QR code idea further and actually making codes that lead you to certain website. Maybe a code that will bring the person to a site with Blackfoot resources.

In week 2, I had to restart my project for personal reason. So I made a completely new code. This time I even approached the center design more differently. When recreating, I tried to make the code interact with some of the dots more this second time. Then I started the coloring process, making the parts black and white, even adding in a kinda "frame" for the code.

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...
