Object Design 210

 Megan Janett OBDF 210 October 27, 2020 Final Object     For this project I decided to recreate a precision knife. It was interesting to take apart and look at all of the different materials that it was made up of. I started with the blade part as I figured it would be the easiest. And for the most part it was besides when it came into filling in the sharp edge. That took a little longer than expected. I then moved On the bigger handle part as it is just a cylinder on the outside. There was a small dome piece at the bottom that had flat sections cut from it and the middle was metal rather than the plastic and rubber outside. At the top there is a metal lip that extends further than the rest and that funnels down into threads where the screw part attaches to. The top part is where I went with next. It started off as thick as the rest them funnelled smaller and slightly bigger again. Through the middle it was a hollow metal cylinder. The center screw was one of the har...

 Megan Janett OBDF 210 Reverse Engineering This week I mainly focused on finding all of the measurements for my object. I decided to go with a precision knife as it was something that could easily be pulled apart and has many components to it. The hardest thing to measure was the patterns on the sides that are pretty basic in shape but they curved around the outside of the spheres. I also started to construct the blade in Rhino which was pretty simple until I got to the part that narrowed down to a sharp point. The sharp part to be exact. It took some trial and error to figure out how to fill the surface as the planarsrf function would not work, but in the end I figured it all out.

Megan Janett OBDF 210 October 6, 2020 Final Pattern     The purpose of this project is to create a pattern and then add color to it in Rhino. After some planning and discussion I decided to add a couple of my designs together. I used one square to create it and then used the array tool to copy it.  One of my main inspirations was spanish tiling which typically have a flower shape in the middle with a pretty boarder around it. I decided to make the boarder only have a pattern on two of the four side allowing for a grid like pattern to be seen. I also decided to use mainly cool toned colors as I found having too many vibrant ones was painful to the eyes. The main tool that I used to create this pattern was arraypolar, array and interpcrv. One of the mistakes I made was that I used the array command before adding color so I had to go back a few steps and add the color before copying the original square.                     ...
