Non-planar Container

Update Two


Drawing of a French press in red pencil with measurements written all around it.

Continuing with my work on the French press, I decided to take a break of tiny finicky pieces and make the container. It had it's own intricate parts, like the handle having the slightest arc as well as merging the two wall vertical section with the the single wall lip.

To get the brushed steel texture I just altered the Rhino "Grit Bump Texture" to be stretch drastically in one direction making the X size 8.0 and the Y size 10000.0.

I'm pretty happy with the final look of the container, maybe if there's extra time at the end I'll play with the surface design to add the wear and tear.

Here are the parts I've completed so far.

And here's a little experiment I did with a hybrid display of the parts.

Fruits Of My Labour

I was worried that wouldn't have time but I managed to get it done! Just berry-ly. From Sketch To Models Even with gobos!  To Prints Printed the rook, and a version of it as just a shell in the same spot. On the shell I used PrusaSlicer's Fuzzy Skin feature to give the avocado texture. More Renders I'm actually pretty happy with how they turned out. One big flaw with it at the moment is that it's not possible to distinguish sides right now. If I had more time I think I'd just make some modifications, mostly in textures, to make one side rotten.

French Press Finesse

Reverse Engineering Final Renders After finishing the last few parts of my reverse engineered French press I got started on the final renders. That was a lot of work. Very finicky detailed work. I can't say I particularly enjoyed the process but I'm happy with how it all turned out. The rendering process was quite satisfying and it's made more satisfying by the realism and accuracy of the models. Now please enjoy the following renders I spent so much time on. And now for something I've never done before. A Rhino video animation! It was a bit weird to wrap my head around initially but I figured it out.

Crashing CAD Candy Castle

I really twisted and filleted myself into a corner on this one.  Beware the complex geometry introduced by Twist and FilletEdge Of course using those commands in a reasonable manner shouldn't cause any problems but I used FilletEdge on all the crisscrosses of the wafer, on all the edges of the Oreos and in several other instances. Then, adding several copies of that object to the file when it became too much. Working with the file for the most part was fast but creating more of each version was slower and slower. Saving is a nightmare on this ~4GB file now. Which meant I saved less and on a couple occasions lost quite a bit of work. Inspiration and Research Of course, all that was by far the biggest challenge of the process. Well, that and I was stubborn and wanted to keep all that geometry because I liked it and I'd worked so hard on it. The whole idea for a candy castle started from this doodle I did in last weeks class. It gave me candy vibes and that's what sparked th
