Captains log - Week 10

       This week was very successful in terms of my Rubiks Cube project! I successfully modeled the corner piece to the cube, and I actually got to 3D print it. The cool thing about that is it actually works when I put it into my stock rubiks cube. So I can already tell this project will work out the way I want it to as long as I can model everything correctly. I had some issues with Poly's and normals though, so I have to figure out how to fix that. It caused part of the print to mess up a little bit, but it didn't effect the functionality of the piece. It just messed up the aesthetic view of the whole thing.




                                                   This has been a PSA,

Captains log - Week 9

     This week was pretty successful to be quite honest. I mainly worked on my new rubiks cube side project. This week I measured all of the measurements to each individual piece of the rubiks cube, and wrote them down on diagrams I created. Then I decided to make some practice animations, and I think I actually made a use-able piece for the project. I made a center edge piece, and a corner piece. The center edge piece didn't turn out so well, but the corner piece turned out fantastic and I can probably use it for each corner.

If I am able to animate each piece like I did with this one, then I will be able to successfully 3D print my own cube.

This has been a PSA,
