Week Three: The Church of Disk1








With my first castle, I recognized a lot of mistakes. First off, I Boolean Unioned every single piece of the castle once I didn't need it anymore. Unfortunately, I did that before I rendered it. I restarted and chose with materials to use for every piece before placing it together so I would know I liked the material on its own and glued with other pieces. I used Wood, Stone, Plaster, and Glass on the UFO. I made the green on the towers look less jarring (feedback from Sage) by using grass and heavy green lighting to balance it out. For this one I didn't Union it at all because I feared it would mess something up (Shoutout to Carson because we did the exact same thing). And I took the advice from Ash and did the homework on the day it was handed out instead of waiting a week. From this project I learned lots of what to do and what not to do while using Rhino






Feedback Included:
-Different Materials
-Using different pieces to build the buildings
-A less jarring contrast between UFO and Castle
-More Green
-Putting something inside the UFO (his names 1)
-Lining up tower windows more

The Original







The inspiration was this tiny TINY church near Drumheller that I visited once as a kid, but was thinking about it because my mom mentioned it in a conversation about old vacations. I took a lot of notes about its shapes and little details people might notice.


Week Two: Castle - Church of the Disk1




 I accidentally Unioned all the castle pieces together so all the materials are the same, rip.

Lore basically is this UFO Circled around these churches one time then got trapped

Feedback to include in next weeks project:

-Different materials/more rendering

-Maybe look inside spaceship

-Less jarring contrast

-Too empty of a ground

-Connect the pieces more

-Play with lighting

Week One: Weirdest Weekend of my Life


Red Cabin Night!
For the intro to Rhino, I made a pixel model of the Boston Pizza Fishbowl, AKA the first drink to the weirdest weekend of my life.

The plan was Me, Matcha, Tiger and Lilac would all go to Boston Pizza, then Me, Matcha and Tiger would all go to a bar on Whyte Ave, since Lilac was 17 and sadly couldn't join us.

We all got fishbowls (Lilac got a coke fishbowl) and called it the first drink of the night. Before we left, Tiger started feeling unwell, so she went back home, so it was just me, Matcha, and Whyte Ave.

Photos from that night and the next day
