Hello all, Today we are going to discuss Grasshopper for Rhino. A tool I love, but don't get a chance to discuss or even use enough. It can be a powerful tool for design, but sometimes difficult to implement, due to its learning curve. Additionally, figuring out how to efficiently import a design from GH/Rhino … Continue reading Delaunay Triangulation on a Façade
As we all know, quarantine has been tough and everyone has been cooped up in their homes. A ton of people have tried all different types of hobbies (one of my best friends is making bread and sewing her own dresses!), so I decided to rediscover one of my own. When I was little, my … Continue reading Quarantine Cross Stitching
It's been a while since I last posted, it's been a busy year! I thought I would come back and share a project I completed last spring/summer. My coworker and his girlfriend decided to start a garden last spring in their new apartment together. As a housewarming gift, I thought I would make little vegetable … Continue reading 3D-Printed Veggie Garden Labels
First off, I want to give a shout out to Quintox303 on Thingiverse for their design. I had a work trip during the time I made this costume and didn't have time to do the 3D model design of the dragon scales. Here are the scales I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2779147 I decided I wanted to design … Continue reading Dragon Costume on the 3D Printer
The second project for Udacity's Unreal program was called “Hide in Seek”. Building upon the foundations taught in "Kitchen CleanUp", the game required more complex blueprint coding. The premise was to initiate the game, hide an object around the apartment, and have the user utilize locomotion to move from point A to point B … Continue reading Learning Unreal Blueprints for VR II
I decided to take a UX/UI design course because it's a topic I've always been interested in. As an architect, it is my job to determine how a person uses and interacts with a space (in my case, a physical building or place). However, I am very interested in virtual interaction, particularly in VR, and … Continue reading UX/UI Design through a DesignLab Course
I had such a blast doing these tutorials by John Aurtur Mercader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJESazJYSnk I completed this tutorial in 2014, but I was reminded due to my reignited interest in Autodesk modeling software, including Maya and now 3dsMax. I ended up with a model I was pretty happy with (the jean texture needs work, but hey, … Continue reading A Throw Back to Learning Maya 2014
My boyfriend I are avid backpackers and do a lot of camping trips in the spring and summer time. We have increased our inventory of gear since we first started dating (I had most of the gear at the beginning of the relationship, now we are about even). He purchased a new sleeping bag last year … Continue reading Zipping Together Two Mummy Bags
My boyfriend, myself, and two friends decided that we wanted to take on Mad Max for Halloween. It was on of my favorite movies of 2015 and I loved Furiosa's character (a strong, bad-ass, independent female main character- what's not to like?), so I decided I would go as Furiosa. I knew immediately I wasn't … Continue reading Becoming Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road
I'm back after taking some time off from blogging. I've been really busy, with some big career changes in my life. I moved from my job at the State Department/Jacobs Engineering to HOK, private architecture firm. I wanted to be more involved in the design process and working at an architecture firm will give me … Continue reading Back After a Long Hiatus
