Recreating OBDF 110 - Papercraft Objects: Digital Samples

Papercraft Objects: Digital Samples


The first and most detailed object is a little ceramic house that I got from a trip to Holland. It was a bit of challenge unraveling all the parts, and I probably could have simplified the number of windows!

  

 




The second object is a little replica of a canopic jar, another souvenir from a family vacation. It was a challenge to design/flatten the face so I could unravel it but it worked out in the end by breaking it down into mesh planes. 




The next two objects are not as interesting or challenging but they are based off small glass jars/bowls I have in my kitchen.




Next I chose to replicate one pair of the many scissors I have lying around the house, mostly because of the irony of having scissors made of paper. 


  

This one is a little ceramic lama I have in my front entrance, its just a little candle holder but I have always liked the simplicity of the shape of it.

 

The lighthouse is inspired by a drink stirrer stick topper. I have around five of them that I brought back from Nova Scotia. I have never used them but can't imagine throwing them out. I choose to radiate the sides from the bottom so the attachment point would be a large surface. 



This next object is a picture frame with a rabbet in the back, it is unfolded from the mitered face and the second object is the backer for the frame.















Next object is my favorite teapot, I had to redesign the spout to be more square because I was struggling to unravel a round object and have it turn down at the end.

And lastly a Halloween decoration that I made out of papier mache ages ago.  


Hope you enjoyed my objects, I had fun making them even if I probably put too much time in!!

Recreating OBDF 110 - Papercraft Objects: Final Revision

Image
Papercraft Objects: Final Revision So I very foolishly, and accidentally, deleted my blog posts for OBDF 110 by changing my G Suite account. From now on I will be downloading my blog posts so I have a record! Anyway, I am re-posting some photos here from the projects from last year and some snippets of what I remember from the challenges of the projects. Here is the final revision of my hot air balloon! I had a lot of fun with this project, and watched a few movies during the assembly process.   The inspiration for this object is from an adventure I went on with my mom in Cappadocia, Turkey. We went up at dawn for a hot air balloon ride and it was so peaceful and beautiful, until our rather rough landing! Below are some of the printed layouts and the assembly process. Assembling the basket. Below are some images of cutting out the fire and assembling it as well as connecting the fire, the basket, and the support t...

Rendering Skewed Reconstruction- Reverse Engineering The Skew Hand Plane

Image
Here it is! My skew hand plane from Lie Nielsen reverse engineered in Rhino. The reverse engineered object was an interesting challenge, it was fairly straight forward with some components and required a lot of creativity with others. I don't think I have ever appreciated the complexity of a screw before now! For the most part I am thrilled with the results, I am still struggling to get the cap iron to boolean union properly but I had to keep going and just leave it as a grouped object for now. This project was an excellent exercise in problem solving, it would be interesting to go back and do it over again just to see how much faster it would be. The rendering went well, except for the time it took, some images were produced fairly quickly but others are taking more than 3 hours even with the step down in resolution. I think it is in part because some of the surfaces are very detailed and I included a bump texture on some of the surfaces to get an unpolished brass look. I am...
