Assignment 1 Basic Castle model


For the castle I use a mix of extrusions and lofts. The plateau was made by drawing 3 poly-shapes from the top view and then lofting them together. The bridge was the next section. I made the bridge with a singe extruded rectangle and then lofted 3 sequentially smaller rectangles to create the supporting arches with their concave bend, I simple alt moved them to duplicate them along the bridge. The perimeter wall was two pentagons made with the polygon tool which I extruded together, after capping them I cut them into eachother and then removed the inner cut faces before joining them into a solid wall. I drew and extruded another polygon perpendicular to the wall so that I could cut away from the wall and add some irregularities to imitate erosion. I made archways using the circle and rectangle tools, connecting them with the line and extruding, then for the broken wall entranced I used another extrusion to cut it diagonally. For the buildings I used simple pentagon extrusions as I was having trouble with the object snapping and applying curves to faces. I remember doing such in the previous object design course so but I'm sure it'll come back to me. lastly I put some pentagons near the base of the wall as some rubble. I feel there was more I should have been able to do but I think I need to become more familiar with Rhino's interface and commands again, I had to resort to using the grid to draw my curves and I really couldn't build off of my model like I wanted too.

Reverse Engineering Object

For the assignment we are instructed to choose an assembled object which we're going to use to fabricate in Rhino 3D. This flashlight was not my first choice however my PS3 controller is still too valuable as an interface for my PC and my model tank is simply too detailed for me to model thoroughly in the current timeframe. The tank was really tempting since it is fairly old with missing or broken pieces making this a learning opportunity to use the printer to replace or add new designs however again it's too complicated for the current project scope as well I superglued the the parts when I assembled it 10 years ago and I can't explode it without damaging it. For the flashlight I feel it is somewhat simple being cylindrical however there are some complexity to it's case such as grooves indents and textures for gripping as well the case unscrews in 3 separate parts which I recall was commented as being somewhat temperamental to model. The internal part

For my reverse engineered project I chose a flashlight given that it's built to be disassembled so I was able to access a lot more small details in the design. I really like how the case turned out especially the lens case and the main body as I was able to model all the subtractions the original model had. The hardest part was actually the button since the subtraction and inset of the button was too cramped to measure so I ended up doing my best estimating from what measurements I could take. 2 details I didnt have time to finish were the divets on the flashlight head and the wriststrap attached to the bottom however I think I learned a lot from what I was able to finish.
