Experimentation with Trace and Unroll



 In the above images, I practiced using the Trace and Unroll functions to create simple geometric shapes. I used as many basic shapes as I could think of, but the objects highlighted in red are examples of ones that did not unwrap cleanly. This was a good exercise in finding out when unwrapping will and won't work easily.

Final Papercraft Object

  My object is an apple / apple slices filled with teeth. Aside from being a creepy concept, it reminds me of one of a childhood memory of the first tooth I remember losing, which came out after I tried to eat an apple. I was never a big fan of apples after that.  The initial prototypes for my object were a lot smaller and a little more complex. I had to abandon one aspect of the original idea: the leaf. Between prototypes, even though I tried to make it work by modelling it differently in rhino, I couldn’t figure out a way to attach the leaf, so it lost a little detail but I think that the stem alone works. As I progressed my models got a larger and more stable. My final model had me split the top and bottom halves of the apple in two, because it was that much larger when unwrapped than my original.  Final Object Unwrapped Templates: Final Object Renders:
