A04 - Final

A04 Final - Process

I had to use the Rhino Render for these renderings because the vray renderer was not working. For the final I will be using the vray renderer.

A03 updates

So I made two different structures and I'm having trouble deciding which one to use:

1.

 

2.

Surfaces Exercise

For the first box, I used the rebuild command, but varied the amount of U and V points each time. 

To create the surface of the second box, I extracted the wireframe and drew my own curve. I then manipulated the surface by rebuilding it. 

On the third box surface I used a contour cut to create the points and then rebuilt it in the last step. 

For the fourth box I found that when I drew a polyline and lofted the curve, I could not extract surface points from it. So to change the surface again, I had to extract the wireframe and loft a curved line rather than a polyline. 

Lastly, the fifth box I experimented again with the rebuild command and tried to make less drastic changes. In the last step I used the loft command. Rebuilding seems to be the most useful command for me because it is simple to move the points and it can be used for large or small changes.

A01 - The Cube

This assignment helped me understand basic rhino commands. My cube has a simple manipulation each time but the ending product was inevitably complex due to the fact that I wanted to perform a variety of commands. The void part of my project was difficult to figure out. The boolean difference command failed multiple times because a lot of my cube is not intersecting. 

I managed to find the void of one side of the cube and then created the other voids from two easy boolean difference commands. 

However, the middle part of the cube kept failing even though I tried separating the cube and doing the boolean difference command in multiple parts.
