Project 8 Submission : Papercraft Objects: Final Revision

 From last class, I got abundant ideas of how I can improve my object. The main goals were as follows.



1. Making solid connection between objects.

2. Re-design parts with short height that couldn't be assembled as three-dimensional parts. (Scale issue)

3. Add decorative parts for more realistic look.

For the first matter, I received a feedback of making extensions on one side of the neck which can be attached with body more securely. Also there was another opinion saying lengthening neck and attach with bridge part that will come out from a whole of the guitar body. And as a solution, I combined these two approaches. I lengthened guitar's neck and made it sort of penetrate the guitar body all the way through. With this way, the body and the neck were securely connected. Also, the sturdiness of the body was enhanced since lengthened neck worked as a skeleton of the guitar body. And to make this happen, I adopted a larger paper to lessen the number of the body pieces. It used to be 3 pieces to fit in smaller size of the paper to be printed on. This time it was 2 pieces and it newly had a hole and new taps to allow neck to go through the body and be held in it.

Right : neck and it's tail attached inside of the head piece.



For the second matter, I printed many of the same shape and stacked them together to build heights. The machines sits on the head gear and pickups were made in this way.


For the third matter, I tried many approaches. Firstly, I added frets on the neck. Secondly, I attached a nylon string to the bridge and the head machine to express strings of the guitar. Thirdly, I installed a wire inside of the knobs on the body so that it could actually be turned. Lastly, nut was newly made in installed at the end of the neck and below it, there are additional angle made so that the head will be attached in angle. It used to be attached flat to the neck and it didn't represented guitar's real look.


Besides these, I found that the glue that I used was not suitable for these projects, so I took advice from Molly and equiped with a stronger adhesive and wood sticks for even apply of the glue. I also found poster boards that is slightly sturdier than card stock papers and adopted them. I had to cut 2 times because of their thickness, however they definitely helped objects to be held stronger than before.

Some pieces were edited to have wider taps or the taps were moved to other spots for secure holding.

The Final Look





I also paid my attention to make it playable.

Project 2: Reverse Engineered Object (Week 1: Select)

이미지
 The second project we'll be working on is to reverse engineered object. To provide more information about the engineered object, it is a mechanical object that is complex or multiple parts and inherently made up of several components and assembled. Additionally, it should contain moving parts that interact with each other. This week, I will select few items and take a look at their parts and decide whether they are adequate for this project. After selecting an object among them, I will measure this object as precise as possible using caliper and re-build this each part of this object as 3D file using Rhino and eventually assemble them into a holistic piece. In this post, I am taking a closer look to figure out the objects I chose will be adequate for this project. I selected 3 items that are a ball point pen, a stapler, and a circle cutter. The reasons why I chose them are as follow: They are mechanical objects that are made up with some parts that interact each other. And their s

MILESTONE PROJECT 1: Stacked Slices Model

이미지
 For this week's project, I thought with the slices, I can probably make cylinder type light shade. Below are the inspirations. The second, fourth and fifth one shows somewhat continuous changes on each pieces, so I thought I can make a extruded surface (think of something like a carpet, with uneven surface) and let its one side serve as outside and the other side as inside of the figure, slice it and place it along the base shape of the cylinder.   I was drawing a free line, which will be the starting point of the uneven side of the surface. However, the line I drew really didn't reflect the shape I am imagining, so, I looked up some videos again.

ALGORITHMIC SURFACE MODELLING + ANIMATION

이미지
  This week, we are assigned to use algorithmic surface modeling, using surface morph, brep, divide domain square and extra. Process While finding tile examples, I found this peacock feather pattern and built line work based on it. And I made a brep, using a star shape with 16 lines, that are rounded. I used "loft" to make shape, and gave a bit of twist.  And found out that my surface morph is not happy with something. So, I tried to give bit of volume to my line work, and couldn't satisfy it. I tried to fix problems, now my divide domain square was not happy either. I thought maybe it is because of the twisted shape and made another brep, with no twist, and finally it was happy. I came back to the surface morph's problem and check what is bothering it. It seemed that my  reference line work being flat is causing the problem. I thought my instructor showcased making pattern with line work, however it didn't work with my line work. At first, I tried to pipe the lin
