3D render of mini flashlight progress 2

 I was able to finish the batteries and the magnetic top. I also got the part I am going to be subtracting from the screw top to give it the hatch effect.

glitched coffee table furniture design

Image
 So my plan changed from the footstool as I was having trouble making soft edges and rotating the pockets to face outwards rather than just up. so I changed gears and instead made a coffee table with randomly generated cubes to form the top of it. the legs and and cubes are fully adjustable with the design.  I was inspired to make it look like a glitch because its fun to blend the digital realm and reality together. It  would also make an interesting statement piece. Though maybe not for a house with children because of all the sharp corners.  Its not often that you see furniture trying to escape its own form. This statement coffee table could be found in any modern or Avant guard living room.  In reality I see this piece being made out of wood or molded plastic.  Here is a scale view and the glitched coffee table by itself Here it is in a plastic material and an animation of the tabletop and the grasshopper definition

Then I would bring it to Grasshopper so it could be altered.  some sketches of what I decided to go with  some of my other ideas

Lilypond Chess set final

The machine I was using ran out of the white I did for my first prints so I had to switch to black for my final ones. I printed the pawn, bishop, knight, and king in white.  Below are some initial designs in rhino and my original sketches. I listened to some of my peers and ended up printing the kings tongue separately so that it wouldn't have any issues with printing.   My original sketches Here are a few of the pieces after being printed. There is a littl...
