Assignment 0 : Line Types & Weights

It is my first time using the curve, line, and hatch command.

Strength: I can draw the real things in 2D and able to use the various of hatch to represent the depth of the space.

Weakness: some line and curve could be more smoothly and connecting. Moreover, I discover that some combination of color and line weight is not appropriate and clear when it comes to PDF or printing machine.

Opportunity: Since I had already learned the way insert control point, maybe I will smooth the angle of the curve, and add more detail to the car.

Risk: since the exercise is practicing the lineweight and linetype, I don’t think there is any difficult parts. However, I need more time to explore that which lineweight and linetype is the best in the PDF or printing machine.

Assignment 1: Multiview Drawing

Learning the make 2D and the extrude Command.

Strength: learning the way to doing the Walt Disney Concert Hall with only the curve, extrude, add solid control point, cap and gumble commands.

Weakness: since the project is about the Multiview Drawing, I am actually spending too much of time on the exterior looking not the multiview drawing.

Therefore, at the end, it is too rush and complex to make 2D drawing.

Opportunity: utilizing the Raytraced to explore the exterior material, and doing more stuff on the lineweight and linetype.

Assignment 2: Planar Objects & Folding

I really enjoy this assignment. Especially, when we decided to do the paper airplane. In this assignment, I tried every things I had learned and put my best effort in it. I’m using the planarsrf, line, mirror, gumble, and raytraced commands.

Utilizing the planarsrf with the black glass raytraced as the ground to create the reflection.

Strength: I have patience and a lot of time (in that period) to do the thing I want to accomplish.

For example, the angle of planarsrf.

Weakness: There are still a lot of things that I need to compromise with. For example, the way we fold the airplane, we need to cut off some part of paper first and then able to create the exact same shape model as the Rhino has.

Opportunity: Doing more folding part on the Rhino to make the paper don’t need to cut off.

Risk: Maybe when I’m doing the more job at the airplane, my angle will be wrong, and, as the result, inner planarsrf will show up at the exterior.

Explode:

Strength: the model is doable and this assignment help me a lot to learn the Boolean.

Weakness: Maybe I can make it less abstract and more things-like Opportunity: Create something recognizable, not just a random shape

Assignment 4: Grafting

This assignment is actually pretty easy cause the commands I need to remember is extractisocurve, intersect, clippingplane, and network surface.

Strength: I got 33 intersect !!

Weakness: I got too much intersect. Therefore, the time is not enough (only sleep like one hour) when I need to fix some issue and do the explode and axon. Moreover, sometimes when the curve is not intersect with other lines, the networksrf will not work.

Opportunity: Since I’m learning the most efficient way to doing the intersect, I would like to do it again and make the intersect more than 33.

Risk: It is hard to predict what the curve will be like and what problem will show out at the surface. Most of the time there are still some small surface will show out on the networksrf.

Assignment 5: Mashrabiya Morphology

The previous version that Saue and I don’t like.

Exploring process

At the end, we create this kind of simple, light, geometric and elegant design, which just start at three simple line with different angle and height.

We using the loft, line, mirror, and raytraced commands to create this wall.

Version, Dimension

Strength: the design is simple and easy to draw. However, in the same time, it is complex enough to build up and turn into the Mashrabiya Morphology format.

Weakness: The structure is obviously too weak to hold up as a wall. Moreover, the pattern of the loft is not clear enough when the component become the wall.

Opportunity: zoom in the wall and make the pattern and component more obviously.

Version (raytraced), Explode, Axon

From different angle

Wall perspective: utilizing the sunlight to create the shadow and close the skylight to enhance the contrast.
