Dogu Culture Artifact 3D Prtint Making

These picture that is attached is a Japanese Culture Artifacts of Dogu. Dogu was created Jomon period c. 10,500 to c. 300 BCE. Dogu were found all over Japan with Norht Japan.

Dogu believe that clay figurines acted as portraits of people which represents some kind of sympathetic magic. For example, it may have been thought that the disease could be transferred to the clay figurines (Dogu), destroying the clay figurines, clearing the illness, and any other misfortunes. Also, Dogu are consider as symble of childbirth.

Most of Dogu are about typically the size of 10 to 30 cm of height. Most of the figuriness appear to be model as female have a big eyes, small wise and wide hips.

The tools that you can use to create the 3D design of Dogu by using useful software called "TinKerCad". Also, if you want your 3D design to be printed you need a 3D printer machine.

When I'm starting to make Dogu in Tinkercad, I started to work on the Dogu's feet part. Because I think it is easy to make the base part of Dogu.

To make foots part of Dogu:

1. Go to Tinkercad.com and start to create a new design. Once you have done that, you need to click on the "Basic Shape" and select the shape called " Tube " for the Dogu to be balanced. You need 2 tube shapes for each leg.
2. Next, click the shape called " Half Sphere" from basic shapes, and connect it to the tube shape that you already created. And, you click the shape called " Sphere" to make joins for Dogu. Again, you connect it to other shapes that you already have.
3. Select all shapes and click the button called " Group" (Ctrl + G) and copy-paste can make it easier and less time rather than making other pieces again.

Next, we are moving on to Dogu's hips. It is very easy and simple.

1. Go to the cylinder shapes from basic shapes.
2. You need to roated the shapes of the cylinder to the slide (90 degrees ) it is easy for you to use the tool on the left corner.
3. You need to bring the shape and connect it with your other legs. Make sure it is connected in the right place.
4. Select all of the shapes that you have and group them so it doesn't get fall apart.
5. And, now you are done with the lower part of the Dogu's body.

Next, is Dogu's wist.

1. From basic shapes, you get cylinder shapes.
2. You stretch cylinder shape
3. And you need to connect with other shapes that you have done creating.

Now, we are on to the shoulder and arm part of Dogu. <Left Part>

1. You need 2 shapes for making the arm and shoulder of Dogu.
2. You will go to basic shapes and select shapes called, "Sphere" and "Paraboloid".
3. A shape of "Sphere" is the making shoulder and a shape of "paraboloid" is for the arm of Dogu's.
4. For shoulder you need to bring "Sphere". and make sure it is the same place as Dogu's lower body.
5. And you are going to bring the shape of "Parabolid" near the shoulder (Sphere shape).
6. You are going to rotate the shape, to the opposite side (180 degrees)
7. And you connect the shape with the shoulder part.
8. Also, don't forget to group them.

Continuously, we are making the shoulder ad arm part of Dogu. <Right Part >

Instructions go same as < Left Part >

1. You need 2 shapes for making the arm and shoulder of Dogu.
2. You will go to basic shapes and select shapes called, "Sphere" and "Paraboloid".
3. A shape of "Sphere" is the making shoulder and a shape of "paraboloid" is for the arm of Dogu's.
4. For the shoulder, you need to bring "Sphere". and make sure it is the same place as Dogu's lower body.
5. And you are going to bring the shape of "Parabolid" near the shoulder (Sphere shape).
6. You are going to rotate the shape, to the opposite side (180 degrees)
7. And you connect the shape with sholder part.
8. Also, don't forget to group them.

After you made the shoulder part, you need to make Dogu's inner shoulder.

1. It is very simple, go to the Basic shapes. And click the shapes called, "cylinder".
2. And rotate the cylinder shapes to 90 degrees.
3. Make it more thin and long so it can match with other shoulders that you made already.
4. Select and then group them.

We are going to move on to Dogu's neck. Instruction is very easy and simple.

1. You need to bring a shape called "Torus "
2. And bring the shape where other shapes belong.
3. Connect to the upper body and shoulder.
4. Group them with other shapes.

Finally, we are moving on to making Dogu's face. You will need 5 shapes to create Dogu's face.

1. First, you need 3 shapes of "Torus", one is for the face and the other two will be used for Dogu's eyes.
2. One of the Torus will be used for the face of Dogu, therefore you need Torus to be stick together with Dogu's neck that you have already created.
3. And you have left the other two of Torus and that us for Dogu's eyes. You need to make it smaller and make it the correct size.<Maybe it is easy for you to copy and paste one of the eyes. >
4. You need to put Dogu's eyes together with other Torus and make it a group. And you are done with Dogu's face.

This will be the final step of creating Dogu. On the top of each Dogu have a very complicated, very detailed headgear. I was struggling with how to make it in the simple and easiest way to make it.

1. You need to click the section which said: "Basic Shapes" to "Hardware".
2. Once you have done that, you find and click the shapes called "1/2 inch dowel holes".
3. You just need to bring it to the top of Dogu's face, and you need it to adjust the size to the correct shape.
4. And now you need to group it. And check if others are grouped or not. <If you want to group you need to click the button said "Ungroup" or Ctrl +Shift*+ G>
