For 3D we were assigned to design and color a Tyvek suit with sharpies. We worked on the project for about three weeks. The first week was dedicated to lateral thinking and planning. As well as material experimentation. The second two weeks were dedicated to starting and finishing the suit.
For this project, we were required to make a dynamic form using a few 3d print programs. The goal was to take a real-life object and use a program called recap to create a digital form of it. Then add it into Meshmixer and combine it with the rabbit provided by Meshmixer.
The Lives Our Hands Lead For one of our final projects in 3D, we were required to make a video using everyday activities. The video was required to be no shorter than 90 seconds and no longer than 4 minutes. The video was also required to have a pregnant pause, to demonstrate we know what…
