Jonathan Holt Week 11 Polyhedra

DC comics Motherbox

Concept: For my polyhedra design, I wanted something I could use. So I decided to make an objective marker for a DC game that I own so I made the motherbox from DC comics. I will end up cutting this out again at about 1/4 of the size to make it to scale. I made it larger to get a better picture.

Motherbox Illustrator file

Techniques: I used a box file online as a template to create the vector files on top of it. I then drew the designs in using the pen tool. I made sure to add different layers with the different colors to give outside and inside cuts.

Materials: I cut out the motherbox out of e-flute cardboard. When I do it again for the board game I will probably use card stock to keep it small and easier to put together. I will then paint it to look metallic.

Jonathan Holt Week 11: FlatFab Laser Cut

Dino

Concept: I found a tutorial on how to create the dinosaur model. I chose this one because dinosaurs are awesome!

Process: I went through rhino after creating the design in flatfab and fixed up the slots. I then put it in Illustrator and sent it to my buddy who owns a laser cutter.

Material: We used .06 thick cardboard and glue to create our designs, but I thought about using a clear acrylic next time to give it a fancier look.
