Shannon Donnelly and Daniel Wiedenmann: Kite

The inspiration from our kite came from our beloved SCAD colors, black and yellow. 

Its just a basic delta kite design, and it had a beautiful hour long flight before its downward deathly spiral. May it rest in peace.

Xiaoyang Chen Camera

For this camera, i was inspired by the camera i have and made some changes on it. I keep the boxy look so it can create contrast with the lens.
I started with a rectangle and use booleandifferent to make the holes for the buttons and the grid for the lens. Booleanunion for putting the lens and buttons.
The material I used was Aluminum for the body, clear glass for the screen, and soft black for the grid on the body. I also used a little bit of 24k gold for the button.

Desmond Martinez: Week 10: Action Hero Kite

 

Today we went out to Tybee Beach to fly our self made kites. My kite flew for much longer than the requirment and was fun to watch. My inspiration for my kite came from Marvel comics superheros with the idea that it would fly like Superman. The form it self was your standard Delta kite model that I brought to life off the internet.

My materials included two plastic table cloths (Superhero style), 500ft of nylon string, 2 .25" wooden dowls (.25"x48"), one .25"x48" PVC pipe, and duct tape. The materials I chose were of great quality and perfect for the assignment. We had trouble with tangling of the string at first but once I solved that and added a tail the kite was off and flying beautifully.

Finally, I would like to say a thank you to Prof. Scott for teaching me more than I thought possible in Rhino and for giving me the opportunity to develop my form and have fun doing. Best of wishes and ENJOY DALLAS! GO COWBOYS!

For this project, I based my design on a Rolleiflex camera, The camera is a twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras and it is my favorite model.

To create this camera on Rhino, first I created a rectangle and used lots of 'FilletEdge' and 'Boolean Union' to built the body of the model. I used also 'pipe' to create details.

For material, I choose glossy gold to line out the frame,and employed black leather to the body on each side, smoothly black plastic for the upper part. In rendering, I turn on the environment for produce the reflection of the glossy materials.

 Chair

Ant View

   To design my chair I thought of the classic bar stool chair, with a few modifications. I added a slight slant to the seat of the chair so your legs can hang with comfort and getting on and off the chair fast is easier. As for the middle I played with points and lines in Rhino and after crossing several lines over and over I came up with the star-like shape for the seat.

   I used the polyline to create the general shape of the Bar Stool and added piping to the entirety of it. at the bottom I used the Extract Isocurve tool along with split to cut the harsh edges off of my piping and then used the Blend Surface tool to create nice and smooth curves for the base of the chair.  For the top harsh curves, at first, I did the same as I did to the base, but I found it needed a little pazazz so I added the spheres for a decorative look.

   The materials are mainly Anodized Rough metals in silver, blue and black. The curved base of the chair is in an old cast iron material.

Christian de Lavalette: week 10 Flag Kite

for my design I took inspiration from the french flag, 

the type of kite i built is a conyne kite.

Shannon Donnelly L-Chair

For the design I was inspired by curvilinear forms. I wanted to keep the sides open to make the chair more airy and lightweight.
I used the curve tool to make the profile of the chair, then I extracted it to make the L shape. I used the section tool to take curves from the form. I made, then mirrored a curve for the legs of the chair. I piped the curves to different sizes, then joined and filleted them together.
For materials I wanted to contrast the sleek look of the chrome with the neutrals of the wood. I chose to balance the weight of the colors by using one dark and one light wood. I incorporated the industrial look of the chrome in the legs, then in the cross pieces to unify the design.

Our kite wasn't started with an initial concept. We chose a simple color scheme. We taped the edges with red tape and a bit of silver tape.

To create the kite we used plastic table cloth and used paper cement, duck tape to combine our pieces.

   For my camera I was inspired by the old, shake it Polaroid cameras. I took the old box shape and added several curves and bumps so that the camera appears more sleek, The matte black coloring adds a bit of edge to the sleek look. I also added a touch of modern to the Old Fashion by adding a screen to view the image rather than looking into the camera.

   To create this shape I started with its original shape of an extruded a square. Then I trimmed out some of the surfaces and added Blended and Network Surfaces to create the curved surfaces. In the front the lens was created with three extruded circles. The area where the picture is ejected from was created using an extruded rectangle that went partially into the camera, then using Boolean Difference I cut out the shape I wanted. For the buttons I used my knowledge from the mouse project and added a 3D object to my camera, Boolean Differenced the object but did not delete it so that a casing was made for the button. I then added fillets to get rid of my rough edges.

   For materials I used all hard, matte plastics in black, teal and green. For the lens I added a glass piece that is hard to see due to the black matte plastic on the rest of the camera. The flash has an emissive light on it. For the image screen I added an opaque texture onto a white, hard plastic.

Sketches

I chose a simplistic design for my kite. The main color is green and the pattern concist of black fabric. My kite is controlled with two strings to allow more controll in the air.
