The Shapes of All Time



The Shapes of All Time

 And the texture that defines them.




Behold my babies. 

My digital journey has lead me to the creation and stylization of 3D objects; freshly created, AND RENDERED, in Rhino.  They are adorned with the latest texture I dropped last week. 

As stated in my previous blog, the design was inspired by classic Persian rugs, like the one my parents used to own many years ago. 

The sphere does not have much in common with the design itself, other than they are both circular. The "rug" (top image) wears the pattern nicely, and is on it's way to becoming a "true rug". One day... when my digital creative prowess reaches rug status.... 
Meanwhile the "tent" is... well a tent I guess. I wanted to use a prism to begin with, but rhino chose a octagonal cone instead. From there I created like 15 points in all three dimensions and started stretching it. I think I've created like a circus tent that has a couple supports collapsing.

Teching This Deck Till I Flip

Teching This Deck 'Till I Flip My Process  As usual I have chosen a project that is probably a little out of my skill range, but if I can pull this off my skills will grow immensely. I'll officially be better in Rhino than I am at Blender.   For my biggest project yet, I've chosen a Tech Deck that I have to recreate to high accuracy in Rhino. The deck itself is highly nuanced with it's curves, so a simple shape wont cut it. It will take some surface modeling to get the job done. The rest seems fairly doable, save the trucks which will require a little surface modeling.  For some reason the picture resolution looks like dog s**t, but hey there it is.  To make sure my object actually look like a real tech deck I've have to figure out all the little dimensions involved. I have to form the deck, the trucks and their base, then the little screws and hex nuts. The latter few will be a breeze to model.  UPDATE November 14th, 2024 ~ Reading Break I've been locked in.

Castle for a Rich Snob

Image
I have been waiting a long time to get my hands on a computer powerful enough to run Rhino. The time has finally arrived, and this is my first creation. Our in-class prompt was to make a castle out of simple shapes using the basic skills we learned in our first class. Luckily for me, there's been this little design floating in my mind for a while... actually my first architectural idea ever, etched somewhere on the side of some random piece of paper buried in my closet. This idea has been living loosely in my head for almost two years, as I'm unsure how to capture an idea so accurately with a pencil. I wanted to capture the functionality of a temple, with the rigidity of a castle; a head of mind and state at the same time.  Rhino offers an accurate representation of reality that aids my design process. I used my preliminary two dimensional idea to establish the basis of my three dimensional design. From there the structure builds upon itself as I experimented with the software....
