Reverse Engineered Object: Progress I

For the first big chunk of this project, I worked mainly in the front viewport, switching to the other ones when necessary. I had fun working this way--it kept things pretty straightforward and easy to understand. I got all of the measurements for what I think are the main bits I'll need to start extruding some curves. :)

Surface Design Study

Image
When it came the planning stages for this project, the very first picture I took determined the theme of my design:  I love incorporating animals/creatures into my art, so when I saw this wallpaper when I was waiting in a Tim Hortons, I got super excited and immediately started planning in my head while I continued to find examples of surface design. I didn't end up incorporating everything I found, but I did use aspects from these images (below). The first image was the inspiration for the top of the hat I put on my goose, the second image was the inspiration for the hat as well as the stars, and for the third image, I took inspiration from the way the white portion from the bottom trickles up into the green portion with leaf-like silhouettes.           (My favorite, after the geese)

Reverse Engineered Object - Progress II

Image
 I've started to turn the geometry for my object into 3D forms, and it's going well for the most part!  So far, everything is looking the way I want it to, and I'm really having fun with the shell tool. But there's a specific piece of the object that I'm stuck on, and it's this part:  I've been trying to get rid of the part beneath the wavy bit. The waves are supposed to look like this:  I've spent a long time on this part and tried all sorts of things--I tried using the split command, boolean difference, and overall a lot of moving things around and trying things a bunch of different ways. I'll have to come back to this part, but all in all I feel myself becoming more comfortable with this program as I work on this object. :)

Milestone Projects

  - Castle - - Surface Design Study - - Surface Design Applications - - Reverse Engineered Object -  - Wearable Object - This semester was my first experience with any sort of 3D modelling, and I was able to achieve one of the goals I had set for myself after the castle milestone project: learning how to create organic forms. I have learned so much and look forward to applying what I’ve learned to personal projects now that I’ve discovered how fun 3D modelling is!!
