Final on May 23rd from 10:00 - 5:00 at Point Street

What you should have for the final

• Neck it project (in final form)
• ...like a rolling stone (in final form)
• Selfie/Cameo (in final form)
• Any support material (renders, blueprints, photomontage etc.)

• 50 posts on your blog
• All final Rhino files uploaded to your blogs

Just as a reminder, I pulled the project descriptions from our syllabus and pasted them below. 

NECK-IT. 

Using Rhino, Shapeways and Adobe Creative suite to design and 3D print a fully articulated necklace. Take advantage of the format of a necklace to tell a story. Your neck piece must include a 3D printed clasp, hook or snap.

Outcomes: 

Students will learn advanced modeling techniques in Rhino, file formatting for outsourcing 3D printing and be exposed to new materials by designing a wearable neck piece using 3D printing. This process will better inform future design decisions using this workflow.  

...like a rolling stone

Using Rhino and our in house ASIGA 3D printers to model a wearable piece that will accept a stone or multiple stones. Try to push the advantages that 3D printing offers that might be hard to do with traditional hand skills. The "stone" element should be a focal point /conceptually relevant in the piece.

Outcomes: 
Students will learn advanced modeling techniques in Rhino for output on the Form2, ASIGA and Shapeways in order to design, 3D print, cast and finish a wearable piece that will accept precious/semi precious stones.  

Is the selfie just a Digital Cameo 

  

Using the 3D systems Sense scanners, Rhino and Sculptris capture geometry and edit it to fit a supplied brooch back.  The subject matter can be narrative or self-reflective but must use a portion of your body.  Parts will be printed using the Form 2, ASIGA, Dimension printers or outsourced via Shapeways / Quality Casting.

Outcomes: 
Students will learn advanced organic modeling techniques using Sculptris and Zbrush to edit 3D scan data in order to make a self portrait style brooch.

Final will be on May 23rd from 10:00 - 5:00

From the syllabus
"Technically, each project is equal to 20% of your grade (three projects and sketchbook/Blog, four total =80%). The last 20% is determined by your commitment to in-class work, your demonstrated interest in the subject, enthusiasm, and degree of artistic experimentation. Other factors include the quality of your samples and sketchbook, timely completion of projects, and attendance record."


Things that need to be done:

Finishing all projects
Renders of all projects
3D printing (final day to print in house is MAY 18th 5PM)
Sculpting in Zbrush
Coloring parts
Final designs
Research on the blogs
