 Reverse Engineered object

By Marina Dawson

I began this project thinking that this might be easy, but I was very wrong. After many hours of work, I finally came up with a model of a Travalo perfume atomizer in Rhino that I was happy with. Overall, I thought that this project was a success, and although I found it somewhat challenging I think I should be proud of myself.

I began by mapping out everything I saw while observing my object and eventually came up with very detailed schematics of the design.




    I learned many new and useful commands such as Boolean Split which allowed me to create seamless holes in my perfume bottle lid and sprayer. 


I struggled here and there learning how to join and Boolean union many of the pieces which were supposed to attach together, but after learning that some of my objects weren't all closed curves, I corrected my mistake.

Marina Dawson: Project Proposal

  Project Proposal For this upcoming deadline, I would like to create a large laser-cut tapestry on black paper that is roughly 3ft by 2ft. I would like to create imagery based on one of my favourite movies, Howl's Moving Castle, by Studio Ghibli, and laser-cut it onto paper to be hung with a poster hanger. The designs will begin from the top left and work their way down to the bottom right, as the tapestry tells the film's story with certain elements from each major scene featured in each section.    I have chosen this movie because it was the first anime I watched as a kid and the catalyst for my love for the medium. With a beautiful soundtrack, a star-studded cast of voice actors, and, of course, Hayao Miyazaki's creative direction, this film is an instant classic for me. I am incredibly excited to begin the design process in Rhino and create something beautiful.  After reviewing screenshots from the movie, I examined some of the recurring design themes, such...

Croatian Pattern's and Motifs: Surface Design Creation

Croatian Pattern's and Motifs Project By: Marina Dawson OBDF 210           After plenty of research, I decided to create a spread of some of my favorite kolo's, Orgada's, and Narukvica's some which are from the region in Croatia my family is from, and ones that I had created myself. The color palette I decided to utilize are inspired by traditional kolo dresses and scarves from the capitol of Croatia, Zagreb.  I used a plethora of commands while creating this design such as, Array Polar, Offset, Mirror, Rotate (Copy) and of course Hatch. I struggled in some areas especially like using Array's as I am still familiarizing myself with the command. Otherwise, even though some of the processes may have been difficult, I am very pleased with the outcome and I think that the end result is beautiful

Reverse Engineered Object: A Milestone

 Reverse Engineered Object: A Milestone  By: Marina Dawson I began this project, unsure of where I should even begin. I wandered around my dorm, pulling open the drawers in my kitchen and finding a can opener. At first, I thought this was definitely what I wanted to do, but after finding a small Travalo perfume atomizer, I decided that this was the direction I wanted to take.  Firstly, I began by examining my object and pulling it apart, I also googled the brand and found most of the necessary dimensions on amazon and the manufacturer's diagrams for how the atomizer actually works. In the end, I created this video exploring what I learned and how the object can be disassembled.   After this first step I began to take measurements with my digital caliper, I drafted out this image of my object, completely disassembled and labeled each area while doing this. This, in turn, made the next step of creating the object in Rhino much easier.  I ran into a couple of ...
