After the relatively strait forward and somewhat familiar process of centering, securing, and quartering Walter White came the meat of the assignment; reconstructing Mr. White in virtual space.
The process seemed simple when reviewed in check list form but the intricacies of the assignment became apparent after working on it for just five minutes.
FIRST ATTEMPT
My first strategy was to match up the horizontal and vertical scan sections and attempt to loft from curve to curve and later smooth out the interfaces where the curves met. After the entire structure of curves had been lofted into a primitive surface shape it became apparent that to work with this method any further would be too time consuming and overcomplicated.
SECOND ATTEMPT
Surely a program as advanced as Rhino had a more optimized workflow than I had discovered in my previous attempt. And it did. In conversing with a classmate I was introduced to network surfacing. With this I was able to create more accurate objects in less time and with an average of 6 curves using mostly 2 photographs as my main reference, and the section cuts to a lesser extent.
