09.09 3D Printing Exercise Model File Assignment

Assignment Deliverables

  1. Exported 3D Model File (.blend, .ma, mb, .skp, .f3d)
    • Label file YYYYMMDD Lastname Firstname 3D Print Model
  2. Render Image of the model (.jpg, png)
    • Label file YYYYMMDD Lastname Firstname 3D Print Model Render Image

Overview

  1. Model an object in Blender , Maya , or Fusion 360 for 3D printing output.
  2. Think about objects and forms that could be used as elements in videos or performance. Having a physical representation and a fully accurate digital 3D model of the same object opens up possibilities for content creation. You could use physics simulation to have the digital model tumble through space and then motion track the real object into it. (No extra video or performance is due for this project. This is to stimulate potential content ideas for your 3D printed object)
  3. Photogrammetry can be a useful tool to get started with 3D forms rather than starting from a default cube.
  4. Experiment and be creative, but keep in mind 3D Print Design Guidelines . It is ok to go against these guidelines but you should have a creative and intentional reason to.
  5. Export a Render Image of your 3D Model.
  6. Upload the render image and the 3D model file.
