Tried another color scheme for the glass and added led strips to the design. On the Main Stage it shows the dynamic arena “in action”

Here is the first draft with first draft render for the Dynamic Arena for the Hoverboard.

This is the overall look of the place. The top is the control station.

This is the interior of the control station with the centre being the controls for the dynamic arena at the bottom.

Using the spherical wheel concept. I’ve done a proof of concept for the board using acrylic and the spherical drive system with a BB8. However, it is too heavy for the motor to drive the acrylic. Will re-do the mock up with cardboard.

Comments from lecturers

• Netflix might have copyright issues with me using their assets as part of my FYP, thus might be a problem when I put this project in my portfolio. Since there is a Singapore Netflix office he suggested for me to pitch it to Netflix. However, seems supportive of me combining two types of service – online shopping Read more →

I hope your meeting with Jackson went well. I think we should pitch it to Netflix and allow them to use it in your FYP. The concept is not ripe enough now to show though. Maybe in January... I think you are doing well. Remember you have to break out of your knowledge/experience base and imagine a new paradigm... Slowly you will get the confidence to do it every time. Now I can hand hold you through...

My main feedback of third presentation:

1, Need to find stronger connection between the culture, story and the jewelry. Making people easier to see the story from the jewelry.

2, More original design is needed. For example, the auspicious motifs are directly taken from existing designs, there is little I did to make it MY design.

3. More mock-ups and test models for Read more →

The comments are fair. You need to look at it from our original idea of 'The Empress and the concubine' and you should build it as this is how the jewellery becomes as one rises from a basic concubine into an Empress. Also, you need to give a contemporary twist to the traditional jewellery. Like today's VW Beetle and the original VW Beetle. Yes sketch - but also look at it as contemporary derivative. i am sure at some point in the next month or so you will have a break through : )

@ Recreational Mobility Device

With VR or AR (Virtual reality or Augmented reality) we are able to set the game space anywhere and anytime. All we need is the sensors to be able to detect the game space. This virtual space will be viewable with the VR goggles or Ar goggles. The game play for such an arena would be simple, as suggested from the Read more →
It may help if you had some description on this.

@ Chinese Style Jewelry

For this week, I start my modeling in rhino as well as some other 3D paper mock-ups.

This is how it looks when I stick 4 pieces of them together to create a cross shape 3D pendant. it appear as “happiness” in one angle and “wealth” from another.

However, my paper cutting is not refined as my scissors is too big for the Read more →

Will u be 3D printing the ring? Also, it may be good to laser cut the auspicious mock up?

I made some rough models for the jewelry pieces to see how it would fit on body. First I did in paper

open ring with slightly differed design. This can grab the finger more firmly.

I also made a phoenix design choker with paper, however I forgot to take photo of it so I will upload the photo when I take one…
