Mesh Mashup: Refinement ("Soul transfer")

Image
  "Soul transfer" "Soul transfer" is a piece that is a representation of the ideas of life, death, and reincarnation. The skull represents death and past life, On the other hand, the head represents life itself and in turn, new life. What blends these 2 things together is the liquid pouring from the eyes of the skull into the head; a movement from the past life to the new, the 'soul' if you will. The black and the white contrast between the liquid pouring is the bad and the good that was done in the past life moving on into the new life. It is a look at the concept of karma but also the balance of yin and yang. The gold liquid in the head represents the purity that occurs when you blend good and bad as all people are born pure, but not perfect. I used 3 objects from Thingiverse to create this piece, this is what they looked like on the website: Critique response: When doing the critique, the work that the majority of people chose as the most interesting for ...

Papercraft Objects: Digital Samples

Image
This week we jumped into the creation of 3d objects and deconstruction them into its flat net forms! This a process done through the "unfolding" of the sides of every object that gets put together to create whatever item is being emulated! "Light Saber"  This is a lightsaber I created using 3 objects:  2 hexagonal prisms (dividers) 1 octagonal prism (handle) 1 decagonal prism (blade) "Simple Perfume Bottle" This is a simplifies perfume bottle made with 3 rectangular prisms of differing sizes stacked on top of each other. "Sophisticated Perfume Bottle" This is a more complicated and sophisticated perfume bottle design made out of 3 shapes: 1 hexagonal prism 1 rectangular prism 1 trapezoidal prism

Papercraft Objects: Printed templates

Image
This week was a ramp up in the papercraft assignment with the creation of the prototype printed templates of our final object idea! I took inspiration from the papercraft research I did and decided to create a lightbox scene. My significant object is my notebook/journal! I have kept one since I was in middle school and it keeps all of my secrets, grief, and happy moments safe within its pages. the concept is that it will open like a book as a 3d object and then it will reveal the 2 scenes within it as it lights up! These are the flattened and net versions of both sides of the diary for print. I miss calculated on the spine however as I needed to add 1 more rectangle for it to fit both boxes together properly. And finally all of the digital CAD work printed out onto cardstock ready for class! I am greatly anticipating the pain that I will experience in attempting to actually cut and put this object together! Wish me luck!
