Modeling and Building the Octopus

India Hyde

Today we modelled our Octopus using Rhino. FIrst we drew all of the pieces we needed in 2D, then we extruded thoose piece so they represented the cardboard. After that we assembled all the pieces in Rhino. Then we made all the pieces 2D again so we could laser cut them. We then could assemble the pieces creating our octopus, who we named Tommy. We used notches and string to assemble the octopus. The octopus' legs move. Hopefully we will be able to attach string so that someone can controll the octopus like a puppet.
