Summary
Introduction
Two ideas on the molding week: realize something with chocolate and realize something with metal.
Learning path
Something with chocolate I want to realize a Yoda bon bon (lego version). - I started with Sketch up designing the body of my lego Yoda. - Then i tried to assemble a Thingiverse model with the Yoda head in my yoda body. - Ater that i imported the .stl file in the software of the Roland SRM-20 - These are the settings.
Something with metal I want to realize a little jewel for my wife. I started from the idea that the object had to be something unique and something personal. I think about on it and the idea was to create a pendant starting from the scan of my finger print. - First operation: fixing on a papersheet my finger using common ink - Then i scanned the paper and working with the image i tried to obtain a texture usable for my need - Following this tutorial i tried to extrude the image obtain a solid object -
