Project 2, Progress Post 4

Fusion is incredible. I'm so happy with how the drink coasters turned out. I hit a few bugs along the way, but I'm thankful I didn't have to do a another total restart. At the very least, I can say I'm a pro with the spline tool and cutting into objects.

Game of Thrones;
House Sigils

Star Trek; Spock

The end tweaks were difficult because the faces didn't want to push/pull after being cut into, so I ultimately adjusted dimensions by making use of combining objects with the intercept feature.

Dragons

Phoenix on Fire

If printing these goes half as well as creating, I'd say it was a successful project. Here's hoping Meshmixer doesn't ruin anything while fixing the mesh.

Coaster Dimensions: Diameter, 4.4 in /// Height, about 0.4 in
Holder Dimensions: Inner Diameter minimum, 4.75 in /// Outer Diameter, about 5 in /// Height, 4 in /// Bottom thickness, 0.2 in
Coaster Color(s), will be printed in red or blue.
Holder Color, will be printed in dark blue.

Holder, Front

Holder, Back

Once printed, resin will be poured over top to fill spaces and make a smooth surface. Coasters will then be ready for use. Following completion, coasters will be remeasured before printing a holder for the set.

"Landscapes of Memory..." Reading Response

I really appreciated reading this piece because it brought to light a view of the debated which I've hardly heard about or understood. I never thought about how seeing these figures or events being portrayed in positive or unrealistically ideal fashions could influence a viewer. As a response, I am still left unsure there is a right way with how to deal with the situation In my personal experience, I heard the problems people were having with these sculptures was merely rooted in the fact that they represented people and events as they were seen at the time, despite that it no longer follows the commonly accepted beliefs of the present. I understood this problem then to be emphasized by the plaques that were originally created to define the monuments for viewers with words that followed the old ideas. Therefor, I thought the problems were more in the need for the plaques to be updated with clauses that may or may not preserve the original intent, while building on to state the cu...

Project 3; Progress Post 1

As mentioned in my proposal, my concept was unfinished in planning. In order to finish and get an idea for how the model would be created, I used Maya to build a rough prototype. A very rough prototype. A later beneficial idea as that I would be able to take my Maya reference and create an animation to demonstrate what my model would look like in the correct materials and functioning. Unfortunately, my modeling skills in Maya did not permit me to accurately rebuild the model. Additionally, importing the model file into Maya failed. Therefor the Maya model only functioned as a reference but it was much better to visualize from than drawings.

Artist: Camille Utterback Website: http://camilleutterback.com/category/projects/ Entangled, http://camilleutterback.com/projects/entangled I love all of the work by Camille Utterback. I'm really glad she was pointed out to me, her style and principles are basically what I desire to grow my art into. I love how interactive she makes her art and the captivating colors she uses in everything. It's so abstract, which normally I would shy away from, but the fact that it changes based on the level of interactivity with the audience. I find it really fun and is a good way to pull the audience in to think about the theme Utterback is trying to portray. While its really difficult to pick a single work I love the most, my favorite is probably Entangled (2015). Basically is is a two sides structure with projections and shadows of colors. Based on the movements of participants on either side, the art moves and changes. This is really similar to her e...
