Reverse Engineered Object: Render

Finally finished with this project, there's still areas I would have like to polish more, but the clock is up so here we are. Overall I'm happy with how this came out, every problem that I didn't quite have time to resolve is a problem I'm absolutely confident I could fix with everything I have learned so far, which I think is a good place to be in terms of having unresolved little issues.

Now, on to the renders, this particular object doesn't have a whole lot to take apart, however it is quite dynamic and changeable, so for each render I manually re-arranged the parts to get different looks and to try to make something as plain as a soldering third hand fun to look at it, hopefully I've succeeded in that to one extent or another. This object also turned out to be a fortunate pick in that exactly the textures I wanted for it were already loaded up.

    Wow. These renders approach photo realism. Well done.

PROJECT 2: 2D Surface Design

Image
(apologies for the poor photo quality) Initially I had no idea what to look for  in terms of  inspiration for this project, but then I remembered my mom owns a bunch of weird decorative nonsense so I scoped that out to find some inspiration. The first piece is a sort of decorative cage thing that frankly I have no idea what it's for, while flowery, I found it also had a sort of 'solar' quality, particularly in the light, that was a seed of the ornamental design I eventually came up with. The second is from a table cloth, I liked the radial forms, which I drew from but tempered with the simple shapes and the colour-on-black of the third, which is from a blanket.  Initially I had a few broad  concepts in mind (solar, geometric, radial, colour) , drawn from the sources that inspired me, but had no end goal in mind, in contrast to the previous project, where I knew what I wanted from minute one. in lieu of a concrete concept, I goofed around with colour...

Reverse Engineered Object: Selection

Image
I was feeling rather indecisive about this project, obviously there was a lot of options to choose from, and no immediate choice came, so I poked around and picked three options that I thought could be fun The first option is maybe a more ambitious or hard mode option: the TRS-80 MC-10 a RadioShack (colour!) computer introduced in the 1980s, I tragically do not have any cords to plug it in and see if it still works (and I put the D key back in wrong after reassembling it) but it looks cool. Personally I love the chunky aesthetics of early home computers, the futuristic fonts, and the beige colouring, they're much more fun looking, though far less practical, than contemporary sleek future boxes, and often much easier to open up. This thing is mostly simple shapes, but there is very many of them, which makes me wary, no one aspect presents a significant challenge on it's own, but I think many little challenges can grow into a massive undertaking if you a...

OBDF 310: Final Post

Image
Well I cleaned up the mesh for the candelabrum and tried again at the intended scale, thinking that everything would go smoothly this time, but unfortunately, it went very poorly.  The printer didn't even finish the final part, instead spitting out a bunch filament all over the place, so far that's a problem but not unresolvable, a single element not printing properly isn't a big deal right? oops no all the problems I had thought that I'd resolved just recurred at a large scale. I suspect this must be an issue with the actual construction of the object on my part, because I've printed it on two different printers, and the previous ones were printed alongside the claws which were perfectly sturdy and functional. I'd like to print another one if I was sure how to resolve this but it's been a week already, and quite honestly I've got not good response to this problem, so unfortunately I'm going to call it. I suspect the meshes of the object are...
