Thesis prep concept model. We have the final in about a week. I'm not sure if I can finish what I'm doing here. I modeled a polygon lattice in Maya with multiple deformers. In Rhino, I developed a script that allows me to select those lines in order to lay them out. I printed those lines and cut wood sticks accordingly.
NO measuring! Saved my ass. Here is the link to the script. Here is the completed model.
Second stage for Testa studio was to apply the curve fold for facade system. The new pattern gives sensible subtle curve, but structurally it was not convincing, which resulted in Peter and Devyn yelling at me on a review. Good thing for me is that I still have the eggshell to work on. Construction, detail, thermo-dynamics, and much more to come... sigh =3
I just finished Sat. morning Figure Drawing Workshop. The instructor said that he'll teach again next semester! It's pretty helpful and inspiring. I had been to a couple of sessions but not the ones with instructions. Before, I was embarrassed to draw a FACE because I know that it'll turn out horrible. But the workshop got me up to the level that I can keep going. No stress because it's just for fun. As long as my slight confidence makes me feel that I've been improving, motivation itself will push me even further.
Sky was invited to his friends' wedding and I ended up going as a translator. The groom's parents gave me their comments beforehand, but I had to translate bride's parents' comments into English at the last minutes. Whatever the case was, translator better act confident.
Doing last minutes work translating Japanese comments to English.
