One of our classes in our Uni course was to learn how to use 3D software - in this case an application called Rhino.
Our task was to build a tool that we could use, either within glass or clay.
I just could not fathom this out at all! There were way too many options and things to remember.
I had worked out that if I failed this part of the module, yet got decent grades on the rest, I might just be ok.... but then I gave my head a shake and reminded myself that I was 'here to learn' and learn I would!
So, I took the bulls by the horns and admitted to the tutor that I had no clue whatsoever what I was doing in Rhino. He offered me an extra lesson and an hour later I was creating tools :)
I think my issue was the classes were two hours long, and I just don't seem to have the ability to digest that much information, I seem to need little snippets - go away and practise, then come back and learn some more.
So my extra class, which was only an hour long seemed to work well. I was then able to go home and practise this little bit and made some headway.
Still not sure if it is my favourite form of design, but at least I got something done.
My tool was then cut out of 10mm steel using a waterjet cutter.
But the work doesn't stop there! I now need to make it all nice and shiny and comfortable to hold.
