Talk with Ivan hanks about the limitations of 3D printers
today we had a talk with Ivan hanks and he had said that some of the limitations are that with the basic printers.
You can only use plastic however the more advanced printers can use more materials and print colours.
At the moment you can only print in one material at a time.
a point that is worth mentioning is that the way how it prints makes it difficult to print hollow objects because it can only print vertically.
you have to have the file in a specific format. and the time it takes is another limitation for example if the object is hollow it may take 3 hours but if an object of the same size may take 1 day if it is solid
some times the measurements are slightly off which means that the object may naturally start to fall over time if the object was made without a "raft"which is a comb shaped plastic the is just used for protection for the "bed".
to help prevent it from falling they are made on stilts to be able to allow it to balance and they are thin so they can be snapped of to create the object with balance
it will damage the printer and sometimes the settings are off so 2 "raft's" will be needed to create the object
the printer can only print to a certain size depending on the printer

This was a shot demo on how to put textures onto objects
first off we open up the material editor and then click compact editor
then clicked diffuse the bitmap and we chose your custom texture
And this is the outcome
This was a tutorial on Boolean
first off we start with any shape then we convert it to an editable poly
we then make a new shape that we want to take away from the other shape and covert it to editable poly
when you done that we select both and go on to the create tab and go to compound shapes and select Boolean then click subtract a from b and pick operation
this is the spline tool with the line tool
you simply draw a line and change the parameters
before you change the parameters you can change the shape of the nodes
this is what it looks like after wards
we had created the with the line tool to make a 1/4 of the glass and use a filter to transform it
this is on the bridge tool
we start by creating and shape and converting it to a editable poly
we then turned on the snap tool when we made the sphere so the top half has the same radius as the cylinder and rotated it so the segment matched and converted this to a editable poly
then we select the boarders
on bot hollowed and half of the sphere the bridge
this is what it looks like after
I thought it was to long so I undone the last step and moved the sphere down the z axis
and bridged to get this
we had to attempt to recreate a image of a cage and a ball with a texture inside
to start off with we make a plane for the base and a cube for the cage
got an image for the background and imported it
once we applied the checker board to the plane below the cube we then used the lattice filter
to get this
I then experimented with the parameters to get the shape to look I little more interesting
then I put a filter on the ball and got this.
I then added a similar texture to the cage
i then repositions the camera angle so we can get a different render
we the added a spot light to add some lighting to the model
I then added a red plane to represent a carpet
I then changed it to a darker red to suit the image more
we had experimented on making edges thinner and wider by selecting segments

camtasia and texture expiroment
I had recorded me making a video on Camtasia it was me making a egg like texture on photoshop

Difference between origami and template
the difference between origami and paper template is with origami you don't cut or glue the paper to create the object it is made by only folding paper as you can see.
definition of oriagami
"Japanese, equivalent to ori fold + -gami, combining form of kami paper"
using templates and cutting and sticking is also known as kirigami
"The Japanese art of cutting and folding paper into ornamental objects or designs.
[Japanese : kiri, to cut + kami, paper.]"

3d modeling with plasticine
today we were working with plasticine and using it to create a model I had originally intended to create a Pokéball but as this seemed to be more difficult I had decided to create a less detailed turtle head
below is images of the final outcome of today
textures with rock walls wood and metals
