Lab 2

Part A

I ended up modeling my sunglasses. This proved harder than expected, but taught me plenty of new ways to think about how to model. Wearing the sunglasses later, I realized I didn’t get everything exactly right but it was a good practice for me.

Part B

I decided to do a UFO for part B. I didn’t expect it to take as long as it did to engrave and cut each piece for my UFO. I also forgot to make sure the thickness was correct in the slicer and so the UFO ended up being rather elongated, but I actually liked it more because of the elongation. I had a hard time deciding how to design the UFO, but my friend helped me make it “look less like a lamp.” I enjoyed putting the pieces of cardboard together, although it was tedious.

Part C

I had a bit of a hard time thinking of what to do for my second two objects mostly because I feel that the UFO is a stand alone object, but I decided to do its home planet, and the alien that would drive it. I had a lot of fun making the planet.

Part D

I did not know what I was doing with the joints. I had the hardest time doing the 90 degree angle. I thought that it was good designing it in rhino but when I ended up cutting it out it was very poor. Alas, I thought it was fun to try to mimic what was in the 50 digital joints and also take their ideas and do something that I thought would be more fun.
