Alternate Realities

The primary point of the wiki title is to introduce some information on the concepts of art that we will be working on for the looking glass project. The information in the wiki helps us understand the different types of realism in art and all the ways reality can be altered through art. All the portions of the wiki are easy to understand and give great examples and details to explain the concepts better.

Looking Glass Concept

Looking Glass Concept

My concept for the Looking Glass Project is to create a mesh that combines different meshes into one mesh. My idea was to get as creative as possible, I want to make it look like a domino with arms and legs are riding on the back of the bunny. For the bunny I want to give it big wings on each side to look like the bunny can fly.

Parametrics and Booleans

This is a model I created in Mesh mixer using the boolean and extract tools using a knight chess piece and arms and legs of a duck and a frog. I combine the arms to the chess piece and used the extract tool to get the effects seen above. Next I did the same method with the feet, but I extracted then on a different axis to get the same effect but in a different direction. At the end I combined both pieces together to make one mesh.

Looking Glass Final

This is the complete mesh and the final post for my looking glass project. I completed everything I wanted to accomplish for this design. I combined my ideas of a bunny with wings and a domino person to make this creation. I used the combine and boolean functions to combine the elements together to make one unified mesh. Creating this mesh taught me a lot about mesh mixer and working through the interface. I was able to be creative with my ideas and really think out of the box on this project.

 

Digitizer Mesh Mods

This is the completion of a double headed giraffe I created in mesh mixer as my mesh mod design. To create this I imported a 3d giraffe and I duplicated the giraffe and rotated the duplication a little bit to look like there were two heads. Next I cleaned up the body parts of the giraffes to make it look like one body. At the end I joined the two together to make it one giraffe with two heads..

Parallel Universes

This wiki title introduces the concepts of visual principles and sculptures. Most specifically it talks about unity, contrast, hierarchy, economy, balance, pattern, direction and scale and how they all can be manipulated and to create different types of art and show different types of visual designs. Also chapter 14 talks about the different methods to sculpting. The information in the wiki title gave me a complete understanding of the concepts involved in this project. The concepts in Chapter 5 that stood out to me were relief and freestanding sculpture works. I know that with the laser cutter we can do subtraction by carving out the pieces of the material we do not want and with the 3D printer we can create objects through modeling.
