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: First what we did was we went on our iPad on Sculpt+ and made our lifelike creatures. I made a dragonfly! What we did was first we picked a base to sculpt, then we sculpted it. After that we baked it and painted it. Lastly we uploaded it to the 3D pinter computers and the we 3D printed it! I think I did good, well at least for me! But compared to others mine wasn’t the best. I had a lot of fun doing this project! I’ve always wanted to 3D print, so i was really excited when i heard that we were going to 3D print! I am was really impressed with the way mine came out, so was my mom! I would love to 3D print again!
