Reverse Engineered Object - Final Renders and Exploded Views

 This project has given me an appreciation for mechanical objects and their complexity. Even an object as small as this flashlight has many little parts that make it up, all of which needed to be thought through and planned out to accurately model the object in Rhino. Before this point, much of the 3D Modelling I had used was polymesh, which meant a lot of organic shapes and less of the hard surface modelling we were doing in this project. Overall, I think the project was highly enjoyable, I learned a lot about modelling with NURBS curves, and it is always satisfying to see your model rendered in the end project.

  Here is my animated gif! It was a lot of fun playing around with sliders to create variation within the different layers of the gif. Below is a picture of my workflow I know that I was meant to upload a high-res image of the workflow through the Grasshopper menu; however, every time I attempted to export this way, grasshopper would only recognize the upper half of the workflow and spit out an image that looked like the one below. I could not find a solution to this problem, so I looked for insight into how to fix this issue.  Here are some closer shots so the text and nodes can be read. Definition Animation Here are the gifs for the definition of the animation. In animation #2, there is some weird light flickering where the frames are rendered darker than the rest. I wasn't sure what was causing this problem and even tried deleting and replacing lights to fix it, but it did not solve the problem. Here is the workflow for this definition: As mentioned above, I had the same problem

  I am thinking about cutting on acrylic plastic. I want this piece to be a part of a project in my other class related to utopia and cybernetics. I was thinking about how machines and AI would visualize their bodies for this project. I think they would build their bodies using parameters to morph their bodies depending on what task they were attempting to perform. I felt that this project works well with this project. I would also like to add a 3D printed 'Head Piece" to the top of the arm structure once I have finalized how the arms will sit and nest together.
