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.

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.
