Mesh MashUP : HD Renders

In this weeks project students were tasked in creating 6 HD renders of their mesh models using Rhino 7. Compared to last weeks project I utilized image textures to generate a somewhat more cinematic rendering, rhino offered a bolder material rendering so I had change most of them using preset options in the suite.

Last weeks material exploration (in Blender).

Rhino had a different but rather robust approach to simulating materials. I wasn't too familiar with the options and how to manipulate them. I mainly used "Plastic" option because it allowed me to manipulate Reflections, Transparency, and Polish of the material and how light affects it.

Below are HD renders of the object "Helping Hands Bottle Opener" there's a few renders with different types of lighting. It was a fun project, but it also gave me an idea on how hardware and resource expensive 3d rendering is( took an ample amount of time to render).

OBDF310 Milestone Project 1: Stacked Slices

My current sliced model for this weeks blogpost. I wanted to test modelling an object in Rhino first and using the mesh as the starting point for the contour slices in grass hopper. I ended up experimenting on different extrusion depths and the vector direction for the slices. Modularity of grasshopper allows for rapid iteration and gives me a couple of choices to pick from. I decided on the vector slices along the y-axis which gave me a very simplified version of the bird but still recognizable. Rough model doesn't need to be detailed because the contour slices simplifies everything else.

REPLICATED/REMEDIATED: MOLD POSITIVES & MATCH PLATE

Last Supper 2023 Medium: Optimistic Students, Instructor, Acrylic, Plaster, Tape Site-Specific Performance We reached the end to this project and were building plaster mould's and finally some traumatic experiences with slip casting and lots of waiting. Good soup <3 We agitate plaster in water to facilitate an exothermic reaction that would lead into it solidifying. Its a great experience like making chowder or adding starch into boiling water except the water is freezing. Finishing this plaster mould. Before slip casting ensure that the mould plates are fully dry, once that is complete start pouring up to the rim and wait for the clay to precipitate. On the first try the clay did form around the plaster, mine but did not really dry but the first once is always di...
