3D Object 210

During the initial construction of the pacioffi handles, most things went relatively smooth once I had gotten a feel for the program.  Where my initial struggles with the form occurred were in the cylindrical handles. How was I supposed to get that curve at the bottom of them? And how was i supposed to connect that curve with the handle being only half of a cylinder?  The process of making the initial shape of the handles took a surprising amount of time due to my unfamiliarity to the program. following the trouble I faced with the handles, I faced two more, one of which was far easier to solve than the other. the curve at the top of the pacioffi was tricky because I couldnt quite figure out of to make it a closed polysurface. After eventually solving that problem, I had to face the big one. How in the world do I make the curve from the handles to the flat part? Well that answer took quite some time to figure out. I'll explain in the next post.

Being tasked with the mission to recreate a three dimensional object using Rhino 6, I had some difficult choices on my hands. What would I create? At first I considered doing one of my metal brain teaser puzzles that I like to fiddle with in my free time, but both my teacher and I agreed that it was probably not the greatest idea in the world. And so, I was back to square one. I considered objects from everyday life, like pencils, pens, even a pill bottle, but nothing seemed to keep my interest for long. That is until I thought about a specialized tool used for my craft (glass blowing) called a Pacioffi. This tool with its simple form and mild curves turned out to be much more of a challenge than I had originally thought. But that's all for this post. See you in the next!

Over the course of the past couple weeks, I have been on the lookout for a variety of different designs, textures, and patterns that inspire me as an artist. One of the things that I didn't realize was that, throughout my everyday life, we are bombarded with countless designs in which we could draw inspiration from. Our brains just block out the overwhelming number of them unless you're looking for them. The designs that I ended up finding we're all found within my own home, under my nose. I was astonished to discover how many I walk past each day without even thinking about it twice. These designs were all over the place, from the books that I read, the decorations that I own, all the way down the the art that I create without even thinking about it. What I was tasked to do after finding each of these designs, was to pull and take the inspiration from them and create something of my own that would inspire me to explore different avenues. ...
