Valeria Cavazos - 3D Printing

Concept:
    My concept was based on a character I designed for a children's book as a Graphic Design project. This rock is one out of five and as the leader of the group, I chose to make a scene depicting him walking through the some grass with his mini hobo bag. 

Techniques:
    I first started with the base and the tried different styles before choosing the one in the picture in order to keep it simple yet show that it is a base. It was made with a truncated cone and a extruded circle to simulate dirt. The grass was drawn with the Curve tool to get two different styles, extruded both, and placed around the rock, along with a thin triangle. The actual was was created using a circle and adding small triangular pieces to make the rock look less smooth and more ragged. The gems on the rock were made with a hexagon from the Shape Tool and tracing the shape with a line tool in order to create a triangle for the points of the gems. After making one, I just copied, pasted, and scaled four more for the limbs.

Material:
    The bases material was made to look like wood and the base that simulates dirt was made with a leather material. The rock was made using a granite rock but I changed the colors in order to get a grainy appearance but not get lost in the material and the gem was a yellow gem. The grass was a result of playing with a miscellaneous material, Matte White, in order to get an organic look but not cartoonish or too fake. Metal was also too shiny to get the organic look of the grass but the front blade of grass with holes is actual metal colored green with properties such as the roughness and the Material Type.
