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).

PO1 : Final Installation

Black River Media Installation Audio & Video Sculpture Black River is a media installation exploring displacement and the longing for a deep connection towards a kind of homeland. At its center is an Inflatable Crocodile—a puppet trapped in an unending karaoke performance, forever singing a song about its life. Though it has no voice, its presence suggests an eternal loop of longing, echoing unheard stories of loss. The work humanizes this fictional creature, evoking empathy and prompting reflection on our own connections to land. It investigates shifting ecological baselines—the way in which each living generation perceives nature’s decline as their “normal.” As ecosystems collapse, what we consider natural keeps shifting, obscuring what we’ve lost. Within this narrative , the crocodile longs for its polluted homeland and to be with other mutated crocodiles. Dwelling in a post-climate apocalypse where remnants of human industries remain and pollution becoming our final lega...

PO1: Draping and Construction

Draping is the technique of using fabric directly to conform to solid forms, employing pins or adhesives to create a 3D pattern. Originally, for the pattern construction I wanted to do all the processes within Rhino, but because of time constraints I needed to instead use draping to create my cutting guides. I initially 3d printed a small scale version of my model, and I wrapped it in masking tape to get a kind of reference of its surface. Once I have it fully wrapped, I traced sections of where I want my seamlines to be and used its outline as a guide for cutting my fabric. This process has been developed by dressmakers and often used by cosplay artists to make their costumes. After a tedious time cutting the fabric, I begin to start sewing all my cut panels together. Manually cutting the fabric alone, took me an entire day and a few bruised knuckles mostly from fatigue. Sewing all the panels together took 2 workdays including reinforcing each limb. once fully stitched, I then us...
