testing the magic pen..

the dennis technique

i love this technique. i think that this is a very easy process to get a hold on as long as you know the tools a little bit. i am testing to see how much of the sky should be in the image. with a little more practice i think it will be renamed the shawn technique.

lighting

this project was a little troubling with the use of laser cutting. i found that it was easier to reverse construct this luminaire by drawinging it in 2d first then constructing it into a 3d image.

Emergent Forms...

i used this sketch overlay and made last weeks assignment into a free standing luminare. i wanted teh same quality of a small elegant looking lamp that could dramatically impact the environment.

Shadows Know......

after pinning the earlier posting up and standing back looking at it i could see that the image was not as strong as i would have liked due to the color and text selection. so i went back and looked at some text that could enhance the story that i am telling and changed the color background to something stonger.

Basic and Advanced Fillet

Basic: When this option is on, a simple arc fillet is applied between the two selected shapes. Fillet Radius: The value entered in this field determines the size of the arc of the fillet. Note that the size of the fillet should be appropriate (not too small and not too large) relative to the pair of faces that will be filleted, or otherwise the operation will fail.

Advanced: When this is selected the advanced fillet method is applied.
Circular, Elliptical, Bevel: These options determine the cross section of the fillet.
They are the same as the edge options found in the smooth plain rounding and smooth control rounding (see section 4.12.2). Note that, unlike the Basic fillet, the pick order and pick locations are significant for the Advanced fillet. For best results the faces should be selected using the On Edges option in the Pick Options dialog to identify the fillet faces. The first face selected is used as the orientation face for the Elliptical and Bevel cross sections. The first edge selected is used as the orientation edge for variable radius/distance fillets. For closed face edges, the click point is used as the start for variable radius/distance fillets.

Fillet

Either the prepick or postpick method can be used with this tool. With the postpick method, the Fillet tool is selected first and then two faces are picked.

Fillet

The Fillet tool works at a Basic and an Advanced level. The former creates a fillet with an arc cross section that is constructed at a preset radius and
can work on all faces.

Fillet tool

The Fillet tool is used to create fillets or rounded edges between two faces of existing objects. The faces can be disjoint or they can be intersecting. They can be from the same or different objects. The result of the operation is a new object with a fillet that fuses the objects between the selected faces.

Join volumes

Generally, this operator is quite permissive, and does not check whether or
not the volumes of the joined objects intersect. Normally, they should not overlap. If they do
and an attempt is made to use the respective object for a Boolean operation, the program will
be unable to complete it.

Join tool

The Join tool can be used to make a single object by combining the volumes of any number of
objects selected. The Join operation can be executed using the postpick or the prepick method. However, the prepick method will be most frequently used, because more than two objects will be joined in most cases, and the postpick method will allow you to select only two objects.

materials textures and light

this is my master piece..i am starting to get comfortable with the program but am having trouble with some of the modeling tools. i really like the layout of this one. they are getting progressively better.

predock

i am inspired by Predocks' work and i look to some of his products for ideas that i could transfer to my own work.

lighting the WAY

i think this is going to be a part of my studio project. some type of luminare for the circulation areas..i'm not sure..yet.

the light the stage

assignment 2.2

with the help and feedback from nancy i have went in and changed the views for a much more dynamic feel and look.
