Finally finished! I suppose I'm happy with the finished product because it's the most complex object I've ever made in Rhino, but it still has quite a few flaws.
It's difficult to know if the problems I was having are easily solvable, or if they are indeed restricted by the tools that Rhino offers, considering I am still very green with this program and CAD in general.
The final product maybe has a few curves out of place and whatnot, but mostly bothers me because some shapes are not clean. While struggling to make certain complex forms I often ended up jumping though several hoops to eventually form the shape. Sadly, in doing so I leave behind many unnecessary curves, edges, ect.. causing the final product to look less than perfect.
I placed my point lights slightly heavier in the front to compensate for the larger, darker shadows in the front section of the plane. I think this helped to even out the cast shadows and brighten up the background to make everything clear and visible.
Overall I think this choice of object was probably a little too advanced for my skill level. I definitely knew it would be a challenge and I was happy to push myself, but I also think it could have been done better. I really enjoyed working on this project because I really like Rhino as a program. However, I think I would have enjoyed it significantly more if I had more time to work on it, on a school computer. A lot of the time I had to work on my laptop which has a very hard time running the program and was the cause of many of my frustrations. Sadly this is also the reason I don't have any HD renders, because my computer, or the program itself wasn't able to formulate them without crashing.
Regardless of the minor setbacks it's exciting to finally see the finished product! This project was certainly beneficial to improve my Rhino problem solving skills.
Really outstanding work. Show me the renders!!
