Papercraft research

We are making 3d objects out of paper. Before we do that we are researching different kinds of paper craft. There are many ways to make things out of paper. The artist I have chosen for my inspiration is Hoang Tien Quyet

    The works have lots of curvature and shape. You can use your eyes to follow lines that flow through the entire object. The curving shape of the paper helps make the animals look more natural. I also noticed some of the objects have textures. Number 5 has a texture on its body that makes it look soft and bushy.         The overlapping curves and shapes remind me of the way cars are designed. Especially with Number 6, because of the ways the curves flow through the whole object, and create overlapping points, points of tension, and curvature. The form is also made into very simple large shapes.

    These objects are made with a special technique where you make the paper damp, and it allows for more naturally shaped folds instead of sharp folds. In these objects thicker paper is also used cause its more durable. One way to do it is to make the object, then apply water with a brush. After that you can make shapes narrower or curve them. You can use cloth pins, wire, or anything to hold the folds in place until its dry. You can also make it wet from the beginning, using a towel or a spray bottle. This will make the final project even more curved.

    These artworks inspire me because it shows how there are so many different methods for making 3D objects and they all have completely different workflows and give different results. Usually I'm not very interested in origami but these works are much more interesting to me because of the dynamic curvature and abstraction of the forms. I hope to take other designs I have made and see how it looks in this unique medium.

Project 2: Mesh Mashup

Crazy Objects  My understanding of remix culture is that it goes against the idea of having one small minority creating everything for everyone else to sit and enjoy. Remix culture inspires to take what the minority made and change it or merge them with other things to make something new. This is also a way of personalizing it because its made by just you and your vision rather than the combined visions of a bunch of producers. You can just use stuff made by producers, or you can also merge things made by producers with things you made yourself. You could make an animation and then combine it with music made by producers for example, exploring both and giving both new meaning and life. I think it is a positive and natural way to make things.

Project 3: Mesh Mashup part 2

Image
In this project we try and take 2 or more objects and combine them to have a juxtaposition between them.  The object I decided to go through with is the Sofa with the Piano in it. The way I incorperated the feedback was by using a softer more rounded model for the sofa, to exaggerate the difference between it and the piano. I also built an enviroment around it to ground it in reality a bit more.

Project 5 8 unwraps of objects

Image
8 unwraps of an object. I found a error that the ground plane would move around and rotate to whatever I select. But I found out that in the bottom theres a button called Auto Cplane and I acidently enabled that Another error I had is that the unroll command would spread all the faces out disconected. I had a little bit of trouble making it unroll flat, but I found out you can make sure its flat by making sure your only selecting points on one poligon when you rotate. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ This one I did 2 different unwraps, for the one in the top right I found its faster to just copy the parts, then move and rotate with osnaps. _________________________________________________
