3D Design to build Spider
123d Creature Exercise 1 (iPad App): Export as Mesh/Import to Meshmixer, 3D Print Ready
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: In this assignment I 3D sculpted a spider that I made in 3D sculpt plus. I used 3D sculpt plus, my computer and a 3D printer to accomplish my project. This assignment was so fun and helped me clean up my 3D sculpting environment skills and I can’t wait to 3D sculpt another project!!!
