Daozhen and I started this project by gluing our toy within a cardboard box and filling it with foam.  We then marked off sections on the outside of the box which were later cut on a bandsaw.

The next step we took was to scan these sections and place them in Rhino.  We then organized these sections images along with front and side photos of the toy.  After doing so, we traced the sections using curves.

Currently I have been experimenting with the “surface from curve network” and “loft” commands to generate surfaces but have not been successful in creating very accurate surfaces.

I hope to iron out these issues by continuing to work with these commands and possibly make additional cuts to the toy.
