My Job.

I want to apply for the job of Game artist because I think that I can make a very interesting storyline and a really nice setting. I can also make very beautiful and exotic clothing on the characters as it would enhance the game more.

Size dimensions give the width, length, and depth of an object, while location dimensions tells where edges appear on an object.

Chain dimensioning is where the length of one side is determined from one point connected to another, then the other point connecting to a different one, and so on. Datum dimensioning is where all measures are determined from one point on the object. Datum dimensioning is most likely the more common practice of dimensioning since there is only one point to base the data off of, so it will be more accurate.

A dimensioned drawing gives a kind of a physical representation of the object desired, while a written description may give exact details of lengths of parts or shapes on all sides of the item, but it is only an idea. They are similar since they describe the same object, and both explains it with detail regarding the object desired. Both communicate the shapes and design wanted.

Maker Faire

I would like to have a first person game because it would be more interesting. I am inspired by games like minecraft and GTA V.

Space-X Reflection Post

Interview Post

Today the interview with Ms.Pauley and it was very interesting to know about her job at Space-X. Space-X is a place where they design, make, and launch spacecrafts. The ultimate goal is to let enable people to live on other planets. We asked her questions but we could not ask her many as she had to go to work but her responses were cool. She said Space-X took long hours of works but it would be worth it. It was interesting to know about life as an engineer. 

Reverse Engineering Post

•  Visual design principles make the product appealing to consumers. The automoblox cars were smooth and bright and looked kid-friendly, so they are appealing to them. If the car had, say, spikes, it wouldn't be appealing at all and would deter consumers. Since the product was appealing, more people would buy it. 

• The "black box" portion of the system contains formulas and calculations that the user does not see nor need to know to use the system. Black box systems are often used to determine optimal trading practices. These systems generate many different types of data including buy and sell signals.

• Artists perform reverse engineering to find out how a product works and what makes it tick. This allows them to find out how to repair it and what parts it uses. You also figure out the function of each of these individual parts. 

• If I could change the Automoblox design, I would use lighter materials, if one could actually do that. The cars are rather heavy, so I'm afraid that little kids could hurt them selves if they drop it on their feet. I would also make more sports car designs for the cars, as our car is kinda ugly. The sports car design is very cool, and they should make more of those. Make them out of a lighter plastic and lighter wood.

Geometric Constraints

The shapes we used in this project was mostly triangles with a parallelogram base. The angles that resulted from our triangles were 60 degrees and for the parallelogram was 130 degrees and 50 degrees. The surface area for the shape is 54.2 in^2. We would most likely have a combination of steel and concrete for surrounding the structure and we would need around 40.65 in^2 to cover the structure. The inside of the structure has the same surface area and I am estimate  that 8 people would be able to fit inside of our structure since it is wide. In order to test the strength of the structure we placed 2 notebooks on the top of the structure. The structure slightly tilted to the left but did not collapse under pressure. To follow the "form follows function" practice, we used triangles since they are strong shapes and parallelograms to support the base. Our structure turned out to be great and be somewhat strong.

1. I ended up finishing it with the help of my friends. A very easy part was to extrude or fillet the parts. The hardest was to find the exact coordinates of the shapes.
