Week02-Computer-Aided Design

This week’s Fab Academy assignment is divided into four parts.

  1. 2D Design
  2. 3D Design
  3. Rendering
  4. Source files

During this week, I will use the following software to complete my possible final project.

1. 2D Design

I will create a cloud in 2D software to use on the shell of my final project, which is a small weather station.

1.1 EasyDiffusion

This is an AI drawing software that I deployed and ran locally. It can create a drawing by simply providing an adjective.(It seems like today AI is not in a great mood; even the cloud is crying.)

1.2 AutoCAD 2024

I used the SPL command to draw a cloud pattern.

1.2 sketchup

Since SketchUp can directly import CAD’s DWG format files, I imported the cloud pattern into CAD to create my final project.

1.3 Tinkercad

This is also Autodesk software, but it is free. During the usage, I found it not very user-friendly for me; it seems more suitable for children.
