TT Part 2, Week 5 : FabU Cafe - Laser Cut & F2F 3D Max Workshop

"We provide a variety of fabrication tools such as lasercutter, 3d printers, digital embroidery machine for consumers and makers to come together and experience custom fabrication of arts and craft works."

The idea of this establishment is to teach its clients to personally create their own masterpieces. There are such opportunities as workshops and courses that provide Fabu to train their clients to create their desired products personally.

We, as students, had a workshop where we were told about special machines, devices and how to use them. We learned a lot of interesting things and were also provided with examples of what has already been invented with these machines. It was useful and very educational because I didn't know that engraving or laser cutting could be done on so many things. We even saw a watch brand that became famous precisely for its unusual design, namely, design on the dial.

After that, we were offered to make a small design of our keychain, which we were able to bring to life. That is, create! For my keychain, I chose a simple design in the form of a music playlist. In fact, I decided to give this keychain to my friend, therefore, there is a significant date I.III.XX (as the name of the song) is written on top in Roman numerals and, if you noticed, the phrase is depicted as radio waves in Russian, which means "I love you".

I managed to make 2 keychains, so I kept one for myself :)

On another day, it seems it was Thursday, we had another workshop on 3D graphics.

3D max has always fascinated me very much because this is the future. What will be relevant now, what people need right now. But as it turned out, not everything you want is always so simple!

We were taught the structure of the skeleton and simple figures. They taught them to move, to consider in space at 360 degrees. We created several squares and shaped them and used different functions. We created about 20 different squares and applied different effects to each that will be useful for us in the future if we work in this format.

But, of course, we understand that everywhere, in any business, practice is always important. If you don't practice and don't improve your skills, you won't learn anything. I memorized this rule for myself when at 7y.o. I was sent to a specialized music academy in which I studied for 13 years (School, college).

Any business requires diligence, effort and patience. Without this, I would not have been able to become the first violin of the student orchestra of the Kazakh National University of Arts :)

P.S. Good Bye! I'm going to learn 3D Max
