My Final Project will be a new character. The character will be a robot that is powered by a breadboard. when the breadboard powers on the robot it’s rotating head will be active. The robot will have a full body, and a head that rotates around. The rotating head will used to show the expression of the robot based how its spoken to. The expressions on the robots head will be a smile, upset,excited. I’ll make the design of the robot in tinkercad. The robot is conditioned to interact with people of all ages. The breadboard will be connected to the back of the robot activating the robots rotating head.

Dominic’s Paper Models(silhouette to cardboard ) Tuesday, March 24, 2020
3D Paper Prototype -What was the most challenging part of this section of the assignment? How did you solve it? How did you conceptualize your model? Was it difficult making the adjustment to 3D space?
The template for the 3d paper prototype is different. So adjusting the way the shark was design was a bit challenging. I solved it by making the sharks template the right size and line adjustments.
3D Cardboard Model -What was the most challenging part of this section of the assignment? How did you solve it? How was this different than creating the paper model? The challenging part of making my 3D cardboard shark model were adjusting the fold flaps to connect the face of the shark to the body. I didn’t need them cardboard folds differently. I had to make sure that the edges of the head line up with the front of the body,and hot glue it in place. Creating the 3D model was different form the paper model because I didn’t need the etched lines on the 3d model for the folds.
It should also have a brief description of your character and a discussion of that adjustments you had to make for the various versions. Also, any difficulties and how you managed them.
The way I came up with my character is I wanted to make something cool. I had never made anything in 3D or taken a class in it. I started thinking about wild animals and imagining how I would build it out of paper. I was thinking about T rex ,kangaroos and sharks. I went with the shark. For my paper model of the shark there were a lot of spaces on the body,and I knew I wanted to have the next model of the shark to have a sleek body with no openings on it. While revising for the construction paper shark model I made the fold in conerflaps longer that way that it will be less open when I fold the body into shark form,and it came out better then paper then the paper model. For the 3D cardboard model I didn’t make any revisions from the construction paper shark medel except take out the fold lines.

What difficulties if any did you have in creating your model? I didn’t have any difficulties. Tinkercad felt kinda similar to Adobe illustrator,but when moving the mouse around to change the view the controls feel inverted.
Is this your first time using a 3D modeling program? Yes this is my first time a 3D modeling program.
How did you change your character from the earlier versions? The way I’ve changed my character from the earlier versions is by making fold shape corner from the paper model to the construction paper model. The issue with the construction paper was that when folding the body of the shark I have to fold two of the end flap in togethor with gule, and since the construction paper is a stiffer material I had to use tape on the outside of the model. For the 3d cardboard shark model I didnt have to revise form the construction paper model because the 3d cardboard shark model doesn’t fold the same way.
