3D OUTCOMES DEVVELOPMENT AND WORKSHOPS

         PLANNING TOWARDS ART PORTFOLIO ONE PROJECT


Week 7 has begun and this week, I will begin the 3d planning phase of my project. This involves the tools and materials to be used, the time scale that will be needed for me to complete my project as well as how this will be presented in my portfolio. 


My project is an art gallery which has a contemporary theme which is slightly infused with ultra-modern architecture hence, beginning the development stage will ensure that I achieve a high-quality end product


First and foremost, the materials I decided to use were clear acrylic, coloured acetate, mountboard, and wood for the platform, as well as store-bought plants for the environment.



                                                   3D MODEL MAKING WORKSHOP 

To cut out precise pieces of acrylic for the gallery windows, I had to make accurate drawings in Adobe Illustrator. I drew the acrylic pieces according to a 1:50 scale






Afterwards, I had to save this document to a pen drive to use the 3D cutting machine. When this was done I had to carry out the required procedures on the 3D cutting machines for the 3D 
cutting machine to recognize my drawings. I then placed a sheet of acrylic in the machine assisted by the lab technician. It took approximately 21 minutes for the laser in the 3D cutter to complete the cutting process. 





After this process was done, I assembled all the pieces and went back to the Art Factory to begin the assembling process. 

After doing this I visited the wood workshop to cut out a 50cm by 50cm piece of wood for the platform of the building. The challenging aspect of this segment in my project was the use of Adobe Illustrator which I am not proficient in. But with several tries, I grasped basic concepts involving using the tools





                                                 
                                                        MAIN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS


At this point, I began by cutting out pieces of mount board for the ground floor with a ruler, cutting board as well a a cutting knife. I did not find it challenging to use the mountboard as I used it to make my prototype as well as a different project in the 2D 3D module.




I then began to assemble the pieces of mount board and Acrylic using adhesive.




At this stage I was almost done with all three floors, The only aspect left was to add the colourful acetate as well as the base of the Gallery. 




The process of adding acetate was quite tricky because any small mistake can easily rip it or destroy the surface so I had to be extra careful to prevent damage to the pieces. I also bonded the acetate to the mount board using adhesive glue.




To create a grass-filled limestone pavement I printed copyright-free images of pavements and glued them to the surface of the wood platform. 






To complete the green space, I used fake trees and grass I bought from Amazon. I also used real stones I picked to recreate a natural environment. This process was quite tricky, especially the aspect of pouring the grass onto the wooden platform. using PVA glue. But I still managed to pull through and was successful.







 Finally. I completed the 3D model of Talent Magnifique Art Gallery. To reflect on the entire building process was physically draining because I did not have machines aiding me for the majority of the process. However, with hard work and dedication, I completed it and it came out splendidly. 
In consecutive projects, I will try my best to avoid putting too much glue on the clear acrylic. To challenge myself, in the project next term, I will try using more technical materials such as wood and metal to build my expertise in model-making.

FLOOR PLAN WITH ARCSITE

                                                  FLOOR PLAN Initially, I used a smart draw for my floor plans. However, I experienced technical challenges and the floor plans I made were lost. To improvise I used a different Architecture software named ArcSite in doing this.  caption began by drawing the main features according to the scale I used throughout my project which is 1m:50 cm I then began to add in the various rooms. Some of these rooms are the guest lounge room, the enquiry office as well and the reception area not forgetting the male and female urinals which are all on the ground floor.       ,Next I applied the same method to draw the first floor floor plan. Unlike the ground floor, the first floor has exhibition spaces which are both physical and virtual exhibitions.                 ...

4 BLOCKS CONCEPT WITH SKETCHUP

-
Image
  SKETCHUP DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS Sketchup is no stranger to me as I began using it during the Digital Art module in November 2023.  Because my sketches and outcomes were mostly based on block A, I wanted to also show  how the three other blocks would fit into the plan.  I began by laying out the land on which the buildings would be built. Afterwards, I used the rectangle tool to draw each of the four blocks. This was followed by me expanding them from a 2d plane to create a 3-dimensional shape.                              I applied the same process here till I had built all the floors required Bear in mind that Block A has 6 floors in total whilst the other 3 have 5. After completing the main shapes I then began to add colours and put in the glass windows using the tool tray. This was not difficult as I already know the basics of sketch up. I repeated the same process for the other blocks til...

FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR WITH ARCSITE

 CREATION OF FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR This post is a follow-up to the previous Arc site blog. In that blog I explained how I designed the ground floor. In this post, I will describe and analyse the process involved in my, designed the first and second floors of residences in block A.  , First of all I began by drawing the required dimensions for both the first and second floor. In the picture above it is labelled 3rd floor which is a mistake. For the first and second floor I used the same processes so I did them simultaneously. The dimensions for the second floor is 22 metres by 20 metres and for the first floor 26 metres by 20 metres. For the first floor, after marking out the dimensions with the onscreen pencil I used the wall tool to mark out the required walls. On the first floor there are two 4 bedroom apartments. One on the left and one on the right with the space in the middle being the hallway which includes the staircase and elevator  The image above is that of the...
