For this project I originally wanted to model a castle after Minas Tirith from LOTR, but while modeling it I realized that it wasnt coming out how I neccesarily wanted and decided that it would look a little boring. I decided to pivot and make a more detailed castle, and modeled one after The academy of Raya Lucaria from Elden Ring. This is the inspiration image: This is my model: Some close up shots: My main focus for this project was to make it as detailed as possible and try to make natural rock formations for the base. I think I managed to complete both goals, and am very happy with how it turned out. One of my main struggles with the project was getting the rocks to look realistic, but after a bunch of research and struggle I managed to semi - figure it out. Next time I make something natural like this I do want to try to have less meshes becasue right now the file is massive and it gets a little laggy when ...
Since I've made cold connection/ attatchment designs before, I decided to go a slightly different route for this project. There will still be a connecting point (actually multiple) but the main focus of this design will be on the actual "thing" itself. I want to make a sort of pointer for when I am wheel throwing in ceramics and want to make multiple identical pots. This tool helps show me where the lip of the pot needs to come up to and thus helps me make semi-identical forms. Something like this: After drawing a few concepts I found a better design that would be both easier to model and have less failure points which I think ultimately will be better. Now all I have to do is figure out a better way of attatching this to the wheel because my original idea isnt going to work The first concept: The second concept mor fleshed out: After Modeling in rhino a little bit I managed to make basically the entirety of the project excludi...
For my design I originally wanted to go with the very complicated one (image for reference), but after attempting to print it a few times I realized that I would need more support for the base so that the print wouldn't fail. I decided that I was going to go with the spire, because it also looked good and had all the criteria needed for this project. It has a very satisfying shape, and since it's symmetrical it's pleasing to look at. It's also self - supporting and can print without failure. I did size it down so that it could fit within the size constraints. I used bambu slicer to slice my model because I have a Bambu lab P1P, but it didn't change much because I used the same trick with spiral vase where I turned it on then off to get all the right settings. This project printed with both ends closed, and single perimeter. ...
