Vee Valavil: Week 5 Hammer Project

Vee Valavil: Week 5 Hammer Project

Inspiration/Influences

I designed the hammer with parts from a Gavel (popularly used by judges in court) and a sledgehammer.

I included the design aspect of the face part of a gavel and the center head part of a sledgehammer.

Modeling Techniques

I created the face with two rounded parts on either side of the head. I used fillet techniques to fillet the edges of the truncated cone and make the edges rounder.

The head is the green part of the hammer which is intended to be the heaviest part of the hammer. Within the head is a cylinder which is made of metal to add weight. Around the inner cylinder and between the face and green head are some patterns of sticks in a crisscross form. The yellow sticks are entrenched in between two deep red metallic rings and the green head. I used the Revolve Command for the sticks. This pattern surrounds the inner cylinder and adds a variety of design to the hammer.

The neck (glossy red color) connects the green head to the remaining handle with stacked golden and red truncated pyramids. I scaled the truncated pyramid that connects the head to the handle for better support.

The grip (or base) of the hammer has a repetition of the hammer face part. The grip also has the same pattern of the crisscross yellow stick design. The yellow sticks are entrenched in between two deep red metallic rings.

Scaling and rotation were used for most of the parts.
