Week 7 Fusion360 Initials Model

In this tutorial I had some struggles making the sketch for the S in my initials (S I D) look reasonable, however, I managed it with many tangent curves. I then hit a wall with the shell tool as there seemed to be constant errors in the shape, which I was unable to fix by changing the thickness of the I in the middle of the shape, or by changing the S into something more simple and blocky.

This eventually worked to an extent, the more blocky S made me able to create a loft, but only with a very thin inside thickness. I was able to create a thickness of up to 0.3mm but any higher than that would create more errors which I found could not be fixed unless I made the S barely legible as an S.

I textured this model with blue glass at the bottom, and mahogany wood at the top, as well as black and white granite for the edge of the letters. I found that these letters combined well together for a modern look.
