Step #01

Concept Researches

Thorughout the class, I was looking for something interesting to me. I started look at the space and things with interests.

I just got too much accoustumed with the daily objects, things, and atmosphere. So it was pretty interesting experience for me to do so.

But I need to find something which should not be made of an intention. Not like the table, and chair which could be made with the human tools. I need to choose or decide what to be made from the digital to real object.

Step #02

Learning Maya

This is the Space and DIgital Fabrication Class. And the program for the class is Maya. So I started learning Maya (2015). Also I did the lasercutting to make the shape from the paper. I put 3D modeling file into the Pepakura program, then it produces the 2d spread layout file (ai).a

Please Write down 4 random numbers (X, Y, Z, Size) Step #03

the Concept

I thrashed 4 idea and finally I chose the one. People choose the random 4 numbers in a row for 30. These would be X, Y, Z coordinate numbers, and the forth number would be the size of its shape. And I would put those in Maya 2015. Then I asked the students in the class to get the numbers.

Step #04

Visualization in Maya

I chose the first person (Erlend Storsul Opdahl from Norway), and the second person (Swati from India) to visualize it in Maya. It results the quite interesting shapes.

Step #05

3D Printing

After getting the shape in Maya, I took out the file and bring it to the 3D Printing shop. Then started printing. It was pretty interesting experience. But it took 4 hours to 9 hours to make one. I made it with ABS filament material.

Step #06

3D Printed Objects

Here are the final 3D printed objects. Some shape were hard to 3D printed, and it also had the supporters on it. I didn’t expect the supporter. But its shape also gave the strange feeling from it. Now it looks much more like a building or something.

Step #07

BLISS Exhibition

It was exhibited on the BLISS exhibition from 5-6th June 2015 in Hongik Univ. IDAS campus Seoul, Korea.
