Project 3

Module 3

This project is an exploration of 3D scanning/imaging and facial regonition technologies. In my activity 1, I made illustrations based on data I collected about myself in different topics. What came out was my own intepretation of the data arranged in a single canvas.

Activity 1

I used the template at ideas.ted.com where a step-by-step tutorial of 'how to draw your selfie' is provided. Markers and color pencils were used, then redrawn in a drawing app. The first time I put every part of the illustration in code. What I drew in the drawing app. After I'm done, I export each layer onto the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition. I also tried arranging the objects in front/behind of an object. More testing with the angles and arrangement of objects. More testing with the angles and arrangement of objects. Here I collected data about my study habits, whether it's daily or throughout the week. I used shapes and lines to represent my productivity, social energy, the amount of sleep I had, etc. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. Here I collected data about my taste in music. I used shapes and lines to communicate the type of music I listen, where I listen it in, and my general preference for music. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. Here I collected about my menstrual cycle every month; the emotions I feel, what kind of food I ate, the duration of my period, etc. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. Here I collected about my relationship with my cat back home. I recalled how many times I played with it, fed it, bought it new toys, etc. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code. I played around with the angle with its facial recognition, and arranged objects in the code.

Activity 2

I 3D scanned the sculpture of a corgi. Since I want to get the details of its bottom, I made the object stand up. Side view of the corgi. It was my second time scanning this object and it came out nearly perfect. Back view of the corgi. You can see there's some loss of polygons on the back. This was easily fixed in the MeshMixer. A 3D scan of my eyeglass case. Scaniverse was able to capture its texture very well, though the bottom seems to be stuck to the surface. Another view of the eyeglass case. The light and shadow are well-defined. I 3D scanned my mini-fan. There's many holes in the object, making it hard for Scaniverse to detect the polygons that are subtracted. Side view of the mini-fan. As you can see, the texture is captured well but the space isn't. Back view of the mini-fan. The light were reflected on the fan is present. With my friend's help, I have a 3D scan of my own face. The texture of my hair is hard to capture, and there's a 'dent' in my head. Side view of my face. My features are captured but the details were not quite there. I 3D scanned my plushie that's tied to a loop and a string. The total attempts of this plushie is 5 times. The main problem were the lighting and me struggling to capture the side perfectly. The back view of the plushie. The gap between its legs is blurred. The final version I am satisifed with. The side is still not perfect but Scaniverse managed to capture most details. Side view of the plushie. The texture is clearly defined. Back view of the plushie. It is a little dark but all the details are there. I 3D scanned a cat plushie this time. I struggle to tie it up because of its general weight distribution. So I just capture it on top of a white A4 paper. Side view of the plushie. The texture is captured well. Back view of the plushie. The bottom might be attached with the paper, but the white paper helps with the lighting. Another attempt of scanning the plushie. I didn't have the paper this time, and the bottom of the plushie seem to be sticking to the ground (wooden flooring). The side view of the plushie. The texture is clearly defined. The object was imported into MeshMixer then Cinema4D. Following the tutorial, I coloured the added polygons to imitate its original form as much as possible. Here are the amount of colors I used for the object. Bottom view of the cat plushie. Used white/grey colour to fill in the bottom and its surrounding outlines. Top view of the girl plushie. I cut off the string and covered it up with MeshMixer. Then coloured it in Cinema4D. I also coloured the ribbon since its side is thin, making Scaniverse capture the background as part of the ribbon.

Reflexive Workshop 1 & 2

Adding text around the subject will help add contextual factors that viewers cannot see with a still image. The series of images portrays how their friends/family edit the photo to how they perceive this person. This image represents self-perception vs self-presentation.

Project 3

Final Project 3 Design

A 3D-printed figure of my upper body paired with a calico cat plushie, a Kobeni plush doll, and a small corgi figure.

In this project, I decided to develop a 3D Printed Selfie. I explored digital and physical self-representation through applications like Scaniverse, Cinema4D, Meshmixer, and UltiMaker Cura. I combined a 3D scan of myself with three objects: a cat plushie, a doll, and a corgi sculpture; each carrying personal significance and connections to loved ones.
