Papercraft: first prototype

 The first thing I noticed when I was trying to create tabs for the unfolded shapes was that the shapes unfolded using "UnrollSrf" were not so effective. So I decided to unfold the 3D forms again manually.

Automated and manual unfolded shapes
    I then continued with adding tabs and score lines and then printed the shapes on cardstock. Some of the tabs ended up being too small and I couldn't add tabs to some edges because the space between one line and another was too small.





    When assembling the paper prototype I found it hard to completely close the shape because the last pieces are hard to glue together. I think if I would change the way I unfolded the 3D model to see if this problem can be solved for when I am assembling the final paper model.

Refinements and HD Renders

 For the refinements and renders I decided to go with the ship in a mug model. I first started by separating parts of the ship then assigned textures to different parts of the model. Adding environment and lighting as well as reflections in my opinions are keys to adding to the storytelling element of the final image.

Papercraft: Final revision

     I made some adjustments 3D models as well as added some decorative elements. The main adjustment I made was making some of the closed shapes have an opening so it was easier for me to glue the tabs together.

Papercraft Object: Digital samples

     For this assignment I decided to do a simplified version of a table lamp I own when I was little that is in the shape of a mushroom. I wanted the objects to have some organic curves, so the main struggle was making the more complex and asymmetric shapes. With only straight lines it was hard to create curves so I decided to make each section separately then joining them together.
