3d object design

 For the final, I touched up the design of the arches and fixed places with missing tabs. I also drew some form of texture on the paper inspired by the pen and paper games that help give me this idea.  My final product includes three arches, two pillars and two trees. I really enjoyed doing this project as I felt it was sort of relaxing to just sit down and construct the terrain. what I got from the peer review was mostly to fix up the arches to make them more seamless from the top and the supporting pieces. here is the rhino renders Here are the print layouts And Finally here are the pictures I took of the final pieces. Which I had a lot of fun Taking.

 I made some duplicates of pieces because I thought it would add more to the interest. I had also designed and printed another piece but it had a major design flaw so I plan on redoing it for the next part possibly. There are a few flaws in my designs. One of which is that I think they are too simple at this moment but also specific things like how the pillar caps need a few extra tabs and the tabs on the trees are too large and impede on the construction but that one is not that big of a deal.

      Initially, I was going to use my book design from before but when I printed it out onto paper I realized it had pieces that were too small and detailed to be folded and put together using paper. I didn't really like my other designs so I created something completely new.  I decide to make terrain for tabletop games after I was talking to friends about how little we had. I plan on adding more like walls with windows and doors, maybe a bit of furniture as well.  here are the templates for some of what I created so far this last one is a tree that is not in the next pictures. 3d model used to scale to tabletop figures is  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:945822/files  by Efgar on thingiverse

 For this project I had to create 10 forms then unfold them. the 10 forms amounted to three objects for me personally.  The first was a book or tome that I thought would look cool but would also be the one with the most forms Next, I did a Computer monitor which was inspired by the one I look at every day this one is not at all as complex as the last but still had one complicated form to it.  Lastly, I made a sword that is a little simple but still does the job. the handle is made out of a ten-sided polygon and everything else is just rectangles.

       The French-based artists Zim and Zou (Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann) create beautifully detailed colourful sculptures made from simple materials such as paper. Every inch of their work is meticulosity put together and a joy to look at. the pieces they made recreating retro technology in the vibrantly coloured paper is my personal favourite.       Out of the many creations, they made the camera from above is by far the coolest to me just because of all the detail especially the purple grip part. On their website, they have a video timelapse showcasing the creation of much of the collection. The process involves them taking measurements from the real-world counterparts and noting them so when they start cutting the paper they can get to be the same size as what they are recreating. all the process shown in the video is them sitting down at a cutting mat meticulously cutting paper into the correct dimensions or shutting out tiny details...

 I really enjoyed playing around with the textures and tools available in the rhino program. I settled on using a plastic texture because I wanted my object to look like a weird cheap toy. I had also toyed with a metallic texture as you'll see

For my Refined project, I combined the first idea with the alligator toilet mixed with the tower from the elephant concept. the idea behind the more refined version is both alligators in sewers and great dragons at the top of towers.     when it comes to the advice I was given from my group I Used most of it. the first thing I was told to do was to scrap the CRT monitor from the back of the toilet. I did that initially because it was covering up a broken model so for the final, I also fixed the toilet model for this to work. The CRT monitor really made no sense in the whole concept anyway so I didn't mind removing it. the broken toilet model really just fixed itself when I imported it into MeshMixer.       I used the concept of mashing up multiple ideas to create this object. the concept of alligators or crocodiles in the sewers is an urban legend and then I thought that since alligators are reptiles I could use them to replace a dragon on top of a tow...
