Tegd the Mecha

3D Fundamentals, project 3: Deconstruction and Reconstruction. Walking into this project. I had words like mechs (robots) and steampunk lingering in my mind. It is because we had to deal with very mechanical things like home appliances, electronics and objects with lots of mechanisms.

After much development from the previous post namely ‘My Monster’. This was the end product, from trying to construct a robot to this. Mr Tegd, the baby gorilla as I call it. The tricky part was to try and overlook each of the individual parts I got from the camera. The placing of the many parts in different configurations would help in generating entirely different ideas based how we visualize it.

Earned this today: I feel that in this project, I’ve learnt that the usefulness of borrowing forms from things that were taken apart. Viewing it in a different way, which helps generate brand new ideas, which can prove to be helpful in my future endeavors!
