3D Scanned Bust





         Using the Xbox Kinect and the help of a fellow student, we were able to make a 3D scan of ourselves.  I found that one had to move fairly slow in order to capture all sides and every angle as accurate as possible without and holes in the scan.  I ended up getting a few holes underneath my headphones and in the side of them as well.  For the most part they were all touched up using Mesh Mixer after the scanning program fixed all the preliminary holes.  The whole process was fairly straight forward with little to no problems.

Castle Project





This castle is made up of different sizes of circles and squares extruded into shape with 5 cones on the top on each turret. With Boolean union and Boolean difference I was able to create the open spaces of the rooms and windows while keeping it all as one big object. I left floor open so that one can see through the building. The most difficult part of the project was at the start my grid was too small, therefore making it hard for me to align all the shapes perfectly with perfect symmetry, even with the gridsnap on.  Apart from that, I found that it came together quite smoothly allowing me to get a bit more detail than originally thought.
