Reverse Engineered Object: Progress I

Reverse Engineered Object: Progress I March 4th, 2024 This week I started to measure and model the paper clip earring I had chosen in my last post. I completed all of the measurements and rough sketches (although I must admit that my measurements page is pretty disorganized). It was a difficult object to measure as it is so tiny, but I tried to be as accurate as possible. Some issues I have run into so far: How to model springs? For some reason, after creating the structure of the bead, I was unable to create the open cylinder in the middle with the Shell command. Maybe some of my curves aren't fully closed? I'm not sure. Trying to wrap my head around how to model the organic curves of the paperclip. Earring Hook:  After modelling the structure of the earring hook in top view, I started to extrude the separate pieces. Then width of the wire used for the hook is 0.24mm, so I used the circle tool to create a circle with a diameter of 0.24mm, then used the sweep tool. Then I added

Reverse Engineered Object: HD Renders and Exploded View

 Reverse Engineered Object: HD Renders and Exploded View March 17th, 2024 Here we are, the final blog post on my reverse engineered object. The earring has been completed! Exploded View:  Wasn't exactly sure how to format this exploded view as everything is pretty much just strung onto the wires, so I hope this works. The renders were on a high quality but still seem a bit grainy for some reason, not quite sure what’s going on with that.  Full Object View:  Sunlight at 0.50 with a pin light above.  Close-up on beads:  For the close up of the beads, I used a blue point light on one side and a purple on on the other side which created a fun gradient on the beads. Close up on safety pin:  The safety pin close-up close up has both a purple point light, a pink point light and a spotlight up above, I liked how the pink light could be seen on the inside of the safety pin. Earrings on display:  For this render, I decided to put the earrings on a little cardboard backing, as if they were

2. Surface Design Study

Project 2: Surface Design Study Research:  My friend and I went to browse Walmart to see what we could find. The bedding section really inspired me. I didn’t feel very connected to any super complicated patterns or many with curved lines. I found one bed spread with a detached hexagon sort of pattern, and I thought “I wonder what that would look like as a diamond shape, so that’s where I drew my inspiration for the more geometric part of the pattern.  When we reached the clothing section of our design scavenger hunt, I found this cute little dinosaur pattern. I thought “that could be cool” but I doubted that I would actually be able to construct a dinosaur with my limited experience with Rhino. I couldn’t get the dinosaur idea out of my head, so that is what I decided to go with. I regret not getting a picture the original pattern, but it was just a very simple dinosaur pattern on a pair of kid’s pajamas.  This project really proved to be a challenge for me. It was very beneficial t
