The Diorama Project (Part 1)

    To start off this project, I came up with the idea of creating a Godzilla diorama. This entailed a simple japanese village atmosphere and the Gdozilla's batteling each other. I chose this as my diorama because I wanted to touch base with my childhood past of constantly playing with action figures. I first started with a reference for my Godzilla build and this time I ended up using Blender to create my 3D models.


    By using this reference I ended up creating a low-poly model of Godzilla. This definitely was a pain to 3D model due to the amount of detail that was needed for giant monster. For the villages I used primative shapes to keep things simple. I wanted the main focus of my diorama project to be on Godzilla.

The Lamp (Part 3)

     Here are the final results of my Metahuman Lamp project, which I am really excited to present. I believe I am the first to successfully print Metahumans with a Bambu 3D printer, which is a huge personal accomplishment. This project was not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to improve my skills on multiple platforms such as Blender, TinkerCad, and Unreal Engine. The experience has been really beneficial, improving my technical skills and artistic ability. I'm very pleased with how the lamp works and the overall appearance it adds to my home. If there is one change I would make for future versions, it would be to try with white PLA filament. I believe that this will result in a warmer, more ambient light. Overall, I am pleased to exhibit these Metahuman lamps as an example of my project's unique blend of art and technology.

The Lamp (Part 1)

     For my final project, I chose to create a Metahuman light for my residence, taking a more extensive approach than originally envisaged. Originally, I pondered only modeling the head and shoulders. However, I expanded the concept to include the arms and torso, aiming for a full upper-body representation.      I created the Metahuman with Unreal Engine, focusing on two distinct stances. The first posture depicts the figure making a peace sign, while the second shows it displaying its middle fingers, introducing a variety of expressive movements. To do this, I carefully posed the Metahuman model.      After posing, the model needed to be animated. This step was critical because it allowed the sequence to be exported into Blender, where it could be further modified and prepared for 3D printing. This method enabled me to improve the model into a functional and aesthetically pleasing component for my living area.

My First Print (Part 2)

Image
     Printing was the second phase of this project (which I was quite excited about!). I went over to the Fab Lab and had the staff assist me in printing on the school's Bambu 3D printers. I converted my file to stl format so that the printers could print it. While attempting to print these rings, I discovered several discoveries through trial and error. My first misstep was printing my ring on its side, with the incision in the sphere. That turned out to be my second worst attempt because the logo was screwed up due to the way the supports were arranged.      My second attempt was to 3D print it without supports, with the ring's logo facing upward. This was my worst attempt because my 3D print became spaghettified in the middle of the print. It turns out that most prints require supports if they are not in solid form. My results speak for itself:      My third effort went out perfectly, however I overestimated the size of the print...
