This semester of 3D design I think has been very rewarding in the amount i was able to take out of the class. I learned two 3d programs (blender and maya) and accomplished a lot of work with prototyping I felt. For grades I think for the time and work I put into my assignments I think an A.

Final product, very impressed with progress since first prototype I was able to change my prototype multiple times for the better. This one was my most complex yet, crashed computer a few times but still happy with results.

For the next project I’ve decided to go back to working in 3D software although this time isntead of working in blender I decided to to try maya to create a 3d model for the balsa wood statue.

First prototype, sloppy, need to rethink approach. This way is very difficult and does not produce good results will scrap this and try again.

Found a new way of creating prototypes that produces better results, am happy with progress but I want to prototype some more.

Created a more complex prototype than my last, learned that I could do many more things with maya than I thought and I think I will prototype some more.

Practicing putting the octahedron together before doing the final piece, too many tabs extras will have to be cut off.

Another design idea for truncated octahedron still too hard for me to cut out on bristol will have to revise again.

First template for truncated octahedron may be too complicated work to do and lacks exploding parts needs revision.

First blender attempt: After seeing what other students were doing with their helmet project I decided to make a change to my own. Instead of making a paper helmet I want to now create a 3D model using a program called blender. I was able already to make a basic helmet design while learning how the program works. I am optimistic about how this will work out.

First prototype: This is the first prototype for my helmet, using illustrator to create a template. Illustrator proved to be a great tool for figuring out how to manipulate shapes into a bigger structure and also help figure out how to manipulate paper into a 3D object. The shape of the helmet is not quite where I want it to be but it’s a good start.

Helmet sketches: These are initial sketches for a telekinesis helmet. Some of my ideas for helmet designs that I will be turning into a 3D paper helmet. I decided to sketch out a few ideas before I would start prototyping for my final piece to make it easier to visualize my helmet.
