Description


This was the design our team used for an egg-drop project we had for Intro to Engineering. Fun little visualization, it was modeled in Autocad 2004. The render was initially in bryce. I used some outlines to accentuate the edges so that it would be printer-friendly. I started by just doing the green-screen cut-out/outline, then decided it was weird without the central pieces outlined as well, so I used the magnet lasso to do some simple outlines.. Didn't do all the packing peanuts, I'm not quite that insane. The balloon texture is actually not bryce. It was a noise/radial gradiant paint effect. The original balloons were just rendered as flat green and blue for the large one. The actual device looks very similar, we tested it this morning. It survived the drop (40 feet into a parking lot from a window on the third floor of a building at my college) The first test was...iffy.. it was too windy, so we took off all the round balloons and left only the central support. This was mainly to keep it dropping straight so that we could focus on vertical impact resistance. It worked, we got on the second ring of the target away from the bulls-eye (even though it was half on the first ring...) Took about an hour and a half to model this one. arranging the packing peanuts was a pain, Bryce is not great for that, I must say.

Excellent model, although I can't imagine an entire class of eggheads. J/K LOL ;)

Cool, I had to do this project as well in class...I learned to appreciate scrambled eggs ;-) Excellent!

Luckily ours didn't. If the egg broke the highest grade you could get was a 70. and that's because there was a several page paper that went with it.

Excellent project visualization! I bet those "peanuts" were a royal pain to get just right.

I remember doing this in 6th grade, but it was not as complex as this one by a long shot! Is the one on the right supposed to be a render? It looks cut-and-pasted, but I KNOW your abilities, and I know you could have rendered it instead?

Yeah, this was just to make it printer friendly, it's more of just a visualization render, so we can see what the final product will look like. Nothing fancy, just thought I'd share.
