I think I'm not exactly the best suited to rowing or constructing canoes, but I am well suited to making a 3D model of a canoe in Rhino3D 😎 Here's a canoe made as an extra assignment for our class.  I'm no expert at texturing, so the textures are just left as the base paint materials with varying colours and glossiness. This assignment was fun to make! Using NetworkSrf to make the canoe after making a multiple of the esoteric curves needed for this project was fun. I actually finished the curve part relatively simply, though I forgot the NetworkSrf command and required assistance from my professor. I'd totally print this and give it to one of my nephews as part of a toy set. It's just so cute!

Selecting objects to dismantle for this project was difficult, only as I didn't actually possess a lot of objects that could be dismantled 😂 Here are the three objects I chose to take apart and examine for the first part of this project. First, we have a semi-standard inhaler used to treat asthma and other respiratory disorders. The inside of this object was particularly interesting to me, as the structure of having an open hole that is tailored to allow for medicine delivery though not permitting the medicine canister to "fall through" seemed intriguing. The next is a stick of lip balm. This one seemed relatively simple to execute and also had some interesting structures like the centre piece to push up the stick of balm, and the rotating bottom. Finally, I have a pen my mom bought from Singapore. Sadly, this was on the cheaper side, so it's nothing fancy 😂 I won't lie and say that I like this design, even as cheap as the pen feels physically. The scaling textu...
