Assignment #7: Demonstrate familiarity with 3D modeling for 3D printing

  • This assignment is to be done individually.
  • Create a 3D model of one of the following:
    • An anteater
    • A UCI themed chess piece
    • A cartoon character
  • Your model should:
    • be one object, not a collection of objects
    • demonstrate use of constructive solid geometry
    • demonstrate use of extrusion, either linearly or as spin/screw modifiers.
    • should be composed of 5 or more primitive objects
  • I expect you to completely create this from scratch. Downloading a model from the internet and then modifying it is not acceptable.
  • You will turn in the ".blend" data file associated with your model. You can turn in your ".blend" file here: https://eee.uci.edu/toolbox/dropbox/index.php?op=openfolder&folder=309446
  • For grading we are looking to see that you met the requirements listed above and have demonstrated proficiency in creating a very simple 3D model.
  • The top models will be printed out on the LUCI printer and given to the owners
  • In that case the model will be scaled to fit into a 2-in cube.
Here is an example of a model at the level of complexity that we are anticipating. Notice that there is CSG in the windows, multiple primitives (such as two cylinders) combined into one object, and a spin modifier applied to the cubes on the top.
