CAGD 330 Sci-Fi Crate Development 

Week 1

2/12/18

In the beginning process of this project, I started out by creating primitives and formatting the most basic shapes that will become the main components.  Among the most definitive aspects of the concepts I chose for this sci-fi crate are the main frame borders, the various notches and bordering panels, and the other differently shaped parts that will ultimately fit together as a cube.  Starting up this modeling process, nothing is quite shaped out completely.  Most primitives were carved out and molded to fit the description in the basic form.  Later down the line, as more essential parts come along, hopefully all parts will progress in quality together, so that in the end they come together cohesive and properly.

So far, I have worked off of planes, expanding out and adding or taking away polygons to get the shapes necessary.  The notches will be multiplied and connected as needed, and eventually will form the inner frames that will be bordered.  The line of three frames will also be multiplied and lined up to become the outermost shape of the box.  The raised panel with dips is inspired by the second reference, with belts overlapping on the outside.  The other panel with an inner square will become the base for the vent which can either go on the top or bottom of the crate, depending on final outcome.  The idea is to have this all come together like a modular, with each side being equally detailed, and fitting as one whole.
