11/25/2013 Practice designing using different software.
Along the process of trying to print our coffee project design I have come across some interesting article on Shapeways website, which I have posted the link to it below. In this article I have discovered the down side of some software and how to overcome these downs by “cross-platforming”. According to the article, I had to be introduced to Meshlab and Netfabb programs, in order to get our model ready for Shapways printing. Fortunately we successfully printed our model in school, but it was good to have a backup plan, beside it was a great way to learn about those tools. My curiosity did not stop at designing a model for our project. I was always interested in video games- not just playing them – I was also interested on what is behind this technology. I am probably still far away from getting involved in such an industry, but I enjoyed learning some tips about gaming development.
