Coaster Concepts

These are the sketches I did for my concepts
(There's actually 14 but I accidentally wrote 7 and 8 twice)
            *7.1 and 8.1


My favourite concept from these sketches is 7.1. The idea is a few clear coasters each with a part of an image and when stacked you can see the entire image. But this one does feel like the hardest to actually execute. Due to that I think the ones I'm most excited for are 1, 5, and 8.1. One is larger rectangular coasters that look like dominos, that can hold 2 drinks. Five is probably my favourite from these 3. Its very simple just being coasters with X's and O's on them. It could be a little more complicated with the grid frame/storage thing that way you can actually play. 8.1 is also a game-ish coaster. Its puzzle piece coasters but they actually do a form a photo and can be a puzzle you can play. I think this one would be the most exciting to go through with because of designing a photo on the pieces. One of the examples on the side of this assignment, the second one with the flower mandala. Putting a design on the pieces similar to how one was put on that coaster could work really well.

Castle Concept

This is the idea and concept I came up with. I do like it but for the final I definitely want to change a few things and add more details to the main part. To make it simpler for myself I kept using booleanUnion to connect all the parts but I didn't realize at the time that, that would make it so I could only use one material on the entire thing. But now I know in the future to keep everything separate if I want different materials. Sketch

Castle Final

Image
  This is my final castle design. During the speed dating critique, the feedback I got the most was to add more variation in heights and add something to the bottom. I added a hill and I made the outside towers taller than the inner ones. I did try different heights in the towers but didn't like how that looked. I added purple windows and point lights inside the windows (booleanDifference to hollow them out) to make them glow, which is my favourite part of my design. Choosing which materials to use was really difficult. It was really hard to make them look good together and not clash. Lighting was also kind of difficult. I tried directional lighting in the sky but wasn't the biggest fan and ended up just going with the skylight. I did turn off the skylight during some of my renders, which gave the castle a halloween-y look that I liked. Throughout the process of making this I did end up using the Rhino Index and discovering commands like join, pull, and filletEdge.  The render...
