Paper Prototyping Concepts







My five concepts for the paper prototyping project include a ring, a plinth, a diamond shaped container and two concepts originated from my scanned bust that I had done earlier in the semester.  The three other concepts are pretty simple because I spent most of time working on the two versions of my bust. Due to the time consuming nature of those objects I was not able to complete drawing in all the little tabs on 2d shapes.  To create the prototype busts I started by going into Meshmixer and reducing the amount of polygons to the desired amount and then importing the model into Rhino.  Once in Rhino, I used the contour command to get outlines of the shape.  By switching around the number on contour lines I was able to reduce the amount polygons even further as well it gave me a direct way to fold out and build the shape.  All the triangles were drawn in by hand after I got the basic contour lines down.  The less detailed model will be turned into a vase and the other will be a container with a lid.  Drawing these models was very time consuming, especially drawing the mesh as well as it would very often blend in with all the other mesh around that I would lose my place very often.  Given more time I would like to try and create a more detailed version of the bust.
