Nothing Important

Project 2, FINISHED!

Journey Dragons Star Trek Game of Thrones Phoenix Portal The coasters turned out exactly as intended! Super-duper happy about them and for completing them for use. I'll just have to fill the top with resin so they make a flat layer. Then, I plan on adding a layer or material, either gel or cork, to the bottom so they don't stick to tables as much. The only thing I have to complain about is the holder. Unfortunately, a miniature test print proved that my original design had walls that were too thin. Therefore I had to redesign it so the walls were thick, which lead to the current design that I actually dislike because the walls are too thick (in my opinion). If I had the chance to redo it, I would fix/change the walls from being curvy to being straight on the inside and just adding curve to the outside.

"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...

Teacup Update 3

Happy to say the teacup is officially finished this week. I'm also happy with how well the finished product has turned out. The most challenging part was definitely the handle. From exuding the initial shape to adding extra loops to create the detail involved, Nothing about it was easy. The most difficult detail was the the spot the top of the handle connects to the cup. There is a lot happening with the shape and form of the handle there, and it doesn't follow much of the detail from the rest of the handle. Ultimately, I could only get the flow between the shapes to behave correctly while the top curve was flat, therefor I have to correct the curvature after with Maya's soft selection feature as a finishing touch. Thankfully the alteration had little affect on the extruding shapes from the handle and ended up resembling the actual cup.
