E128 - Advanced Engineering Graphics
Spring 2010 with Professor Lieu
Earned the Alexander and Ethel Levens Award for excellence in engineering graphics, computer aided design, 3D modeling and animation
- Software - Pro/Engineer Wildfire & 3D Studio Max
- Modeling - Reverse engineered Bumblebee the Transformer from an action figure toy. Collaborated with a team of four over three months to model and assemble the eighty components. Personally modeled twenty individual leg components from the hip to the toes.
- Assembly - Components assembled with translational and rotational constraints on each joint. Inverse kinematics tools were used to simulate the robotic motion of the transformer.
- Animation - Rendered a 10 minute animation with multiple scenes and transitions. Animated the assembly of the eighty components and transformation from robot to automobile. Included sound track, lighting, and special effects. Wrote an entertaining storyboard with Bumblebee dancing after the final credits.
