Description: Students will create a detailed “Creature” with realistic/lifelike features. They will reference the 123d Gallery designs for inspiration and example. Attention to detail is essential. Students are encouraged to experiment, revisit all the tools, and base forms before settling on a final creature design. Students should “Bake” their designs so they can use the sculpt tools to add details for printer output. They apply paint details and other effects that won’t show in the printed piece if they like.export, their final “Real Life Creature”, from their iPads via their student 4J email accounts. These files will then be downloaded to their files1 server account. Students will Import the .OBJ file of their “Creature” design to the printer queue on the dedicated printer computers, the add the file to the Makerbot 3D printer desktop software when they are up to print. They’ll make final design tweaks on their creature, then print their project. Students will take 3 screen shots of their project in the 123d Sculpt+ app display, and 3 pictures of their printed project – these get uploaded to their assignment page presentation on their ePortfolio.
Reflection: This was a fun first project to do in 3d2b. First, I had to make a sculpture in Sculpt+ from the human. After, that I baked my giraffe and added details, like the eyes, ears, and nostrils. Then, I printed it out on the 3d printers with the help of Alex. Lastly, I cut out all of my supports and took these pictures. I am exited for more things to do in this class, like projects on the computer.
