Progress Over Perfection: Rev. Eng. Object HD Render and Exploded View


These last few weeks have been tough with family, so I'm embracing the advice of progress over perfection. I plan to find the time to figure out everything that didn't go well at a later time. For now, here's the pencil in all it's glory.

Summit - Vinyl Production

Image
Producing this presented me with both more and fewer challenges than I expected. I suppose that's just a way to say it could have gone worse. Here it is: This notebook that I carry with me every day now represents me. It's a nice feeling. The design is reminiscent of an islamic pattern, organized and abstract. I see it as a set of interesting stairs, representing the hurdles I have overcome and also the ones that still lie ahead.  The emotional-rollercoaster-process:  Step 1: Enter Thing Tank. Turn on this mac.... It took me FOREVER to figure out there was a small button at the back in the bottom left corner.  Step 2: Set up SureCutsALot and load file, press cut.  Step 3: Panic. Everything was peeling up when it was being cut. I re-started and made sure to slow down the cutting speed on the machine.    Step 4: Chill.  The beginning was still catching but things started to work themselves out Ste...

The Process Is A Processs - Vinyl Design

Designing a Vinyl Object Tattoo: Step 2 The reality of designing something real that will exist beyond the ephemeral digital universe feels a bit paralyzing - and I wasn't expecting that. Where I left of last week was with my top 3 approaches shown below: (unfolding cube, typographic play, and woven islamic patterns) Continuing from my last post I also explored what I didn't pursue last week: abstracted architectural lines from architects that inspire me. But, I found these to be too illustrative and not shapes that utilize the tools we are working with in a powerful way.      I went back to the geometric approach that could become a pattern, and I thought it would be cool to use the vinyl and incorporate the quality of light and how it plays with the pattern when casting shadow. Two ways I thought of doing this: a lampshade and a window.  The critique from peers in the class was encouraging and they felt a patterned geometric approach ...

The Eudaimonia Castle - Building in Rhino

Image
Welcome to my first post for CAD and Digital Fabrication! I've been listening to Cal Newport's book, Deep Work, intermittently for the past few months as I felt it would help me prepare for the increased workload that would hit me in September. It turns out, I started listening to part two at the perfect time. Cal begins this section by explaining the Eudaimonia Machine, a theoretical place specifically designed to facilitate a state of maximum human potential. One such place was designed by architecture professor David Dewane and described in the book. So, naturally, I thought I could have some fun with this castle and turn it into the ideal place for working deeply. I began by researching castles and looking for inspiration while trying to consider the sort of forms I learned how to build in Rhino during class.          I was inspired by the use of a site with cliffs - isolated yet prominent, and the simple, striking geometry of islamic architec...
