Denise Lion : Week 16 final 3D Printing


My first thought about my direction for this semester was to design different models for the vases. I did not look for outside inspiration for the design, because, first I wanted to get the feel of the direction that I wanted to take for the vases designs such geometric, organic...   I wanted the vases to have the look of roundness, curved and somehow and organic shape, and yet a simpler line. The design was done in Rhino using curves and points, Boolean difference and surface extrude. The Output for the models were from a 3D printer, Final touches for the models, I used gesso metallic and acrylic paint, and different textures to give depth and uniqueness.
The model vase long was somehow puzzling because what I wanted to do a design that I had in mind, however , I had difficulties design it in Rhino.So I did some researched and download some models that were similar to my design , than exploded/ reverse it, so I could see in details how was done, and  then I executed as I learned. monkey see monkey do. For the model Vase Long, I used Rhino software copy, patch, Boolean difference, curves, extrude, solid tools. I also took to mexmixer for a smoothing look

I did change my directions from vases to romantic figures, I had the need to explore, experiment, and create such forms.
Amour- This is a part of an amorous sculpture series. I have been always fascinated by The Kiss from Rodin and Brancusi, so is from their art pieces “the kiss” that I got an inspiration for my design. I wanted a very organic curves look for my piece. I wanted the shapes to represent the emotion felt on a passionate kiss such the feeling of when you are protected in a cocoon of untouched bliss.

Amour II- In this piece, I use the same design of Amour, however I wanted some kind of pieces/ texture to represent the emotion and roller coast that the human body experience during of a passionate liaison. For the texture I use Auto Desk Meshmixer pattern called lattice to accomplish the idea of the enchanted chaos that takes over body and mind during passionate stage. I designed these 2 series pieces using Auto desk software meshmixer. I started by creating the model with a sphere, and using different brushes from the sculpture mode. It was very difficult process because I never have done a digital sculpture using digital clay tools. I am very happy with the outcome; however, I will need to work a little more on the mesh part of it.

Long Kiss- No explanation needed . I design the model in Rhino using curves tools and bending tool.

Chaos – To infer the chaotic stage in the passion emotion where so many altered   thoughts are going inside head, and all different sensations going through the entire body.  This piece was created using clay tools in Autodesk  mesh mixer.
Creating this piece was very challenging for me, because that was the second time using digital clay sculpture creator. I wanted to push further by giving a manual texture to the figure, however doing with a mouse was a little difficult, but extreme  fun.

The circle- to infer the connection during intimate state of bond where a feeling of unity happens. I created this model using Rhino circle lines, and deforming points, and bending tools.

Intimate Perception-To infer the Insight how we interpret these intimate sensations, and consequently make sense of what is happening. For this model I use Rhino to make the basic shape with lines and points, at that point I exported to Autodesk Meshmixer software. In Meshmixer, I used the clay tools to smooth and design a more detailed organic lines, then I used a texture tool in meshmixer to give a more interest to the design.  The final output was a 3 d print

Flame- this is also a part of the series Amorous. I design a flame shape object to infer the body heat that is felt in a passion situation. The hole in the flame represents the emptiness when the desire felt during the stage of passion is not fulfilled. My inspiration for this design was from Barbara Hepworth sculpture called curved. I use rhino software to design the model. The tools I used was curves, and Boolean difference manipulated the shapes with point tool. The final output was done on a 3D printer and finished with acrylic paint.

 Photogrammetry

 This model is a portrait of my father and was done using a method called Photogrammetry.  Photogrammetry    is the science of making measurements from photographs. The output of photogrammetry is typically a map, drawing, measurement, or a 3D model of some real-world object or scene. Many of the maps we use today are created with photogrammetry and photographs taken from aircraft.( http://www.photogrammetry.com/)
  I was fascinated with 3D scanner that Professor Scott used to scan my face, so I decided I wanted one. So after looking in the Net for scanner qualities and prices, I founded the price to be unaffordable. However, I remembered that about 5 years ago I read about photogrammetry so I went on 3 days’ hunt till I found a software that would give me a close result to the Scan machine.  I found many different softwares that would allowed me to stitch photo together for a 3D output, and I end up using Modeler. After I the final work I took the model to meshmixer to fix meshes. I was very impressed with final work. I Learned that to use photogrammetry I would need to take many photos from many different angles and heights, a minimum of 300 shots is needed ,  and a tripod in order to achieve a perfect look.
