Week 3: The Models

 

WEEK 3: The Models


This week was just about working in Rhino. Like a baby I had to learn to walk, but once I got my hands on it again everything started to come back and what helped the most was Google Chrome.



 I started with line tools, this part could have been done a lot faster I am sure but I created a line frame of the dimensions I wanted and created polysurfaces using Osnap on the points.



 I ended up with this:


Then I brought in my designs into Rhino and set them as the background. Then traced it with the line tool. I made some changes to Mayari and removed her scar but kept the eye closed.



Now I needed to create the stem for the key cap, and I needed to get some measurements for it.


At this point I was thinking of the future and thought of the project a lot more modularly so I can make adjustments as needed. So I made sure to keep copies of everything. I filleted the edge aswell.




Then I extruded my designs capped them, saved a copy of this, then I went in and boolean differenced it from the keycap


Then I boolean unioned the stem under the keycaps, but I found an issue, so I had to make a few changes. I just cave the parts that exposed the stem and filled them and raised it up.



I then filleted the edges and I ended up with this at the end:

Week 7: THE FINISH LINE is right around the corner

Image
  WEEK 7 It is a week of working in the real world. Process Before anything I had to sand down the surface. I did not take a picture of the first layer of paint we did which was black to try to absorb the light a bit more, then we did a final layer of white which I wanted because I wanted to play with the light bouncing off of it from the projectors and the phone itself. The phone is a bit loose on the sides, I swear I measured it properly but I am using a bulky case. Anyway the light seems to shine really well in the dark. I need to cut or find a way to get the wire to run out of the sculpture without lifting it up, I will probably trim it from the back. A phone case will be hot glue gunned, so that I can remove and charge the phone when needed. Anyway I am pretty close to finished. I just need to refine it a bit more.

The Journey

Entire Journey: The Final Week This project started as a simple very surface level fan art about monster hunter. But I brain stormed a little bit more and made it more personal. I came to Canada at such a young age that I practically grew up here, and what came with that was the lack of Filipino Lore that I missed. This was time to catch up on that by creating keycaps that are about Filipino Mythology that does not discriminate meaning as long as the myth sounds interesting I will look in it even if it is from the South of the Philippines where I did not grow up.  Research It all started with research where I got to learn more about the myths that span the Philippines and these were the ones that I found were the most interesting and most relevant. I read the up on the myths and searched up images of them and classic symbolisms of them and created designs for each one. This process was the most important to me and the most fun as I got to again learn about myths. My favorite design...

WEEK 8: The End

Image
   WEEK 8 It is now the end... There was a descension that I had to make to either allow there to be a gap to access the side buttons or make it more cohesive, I decided on the latter. I got some clay and covered the gaps. In addition I decided to add a support beam to make it more practical and my thought process around this was that it is meant to be seen in the dark and this will not be visible. Anyway here is the finished product
