Project 3; Progress Post 3

Printing went surprisingly well!

While modeling, I purposely made every part of the structure into individual pieces. I figured this would be best in order to show off the model at the end, and reprint only as needed. Turns out, nothing needed to reprinted and even the words turned out pretty clearly!

I won't say it was perfect. The walls didn't fit into the base slots I created, one of the inner walls I forgot to cut into two pieces, and it took a lot of wiggling and chipping to get the door frames into their places. It could be my fault for making everything exact fits, something with deforming as the plastic cooled, a scaling issue, or multiple of the above. I don't really know but I figured which ever it was wasn't worth trying to reprint. It turned out 99% correct, I'll accept the 1% error.

I'm seriously just happy that nothing broke. The walls are really thin, yet they survived. I don't think I could've asked for a better outcome in only one print attempt.

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.

"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
