Working in Progress - Pattern, Form, Mock-up
Explored patterns (octopus/cephalopod skin cells) to be projected onto the model:
Projected Samples:
The designs with the projected patterns looked really heavy and messy.
Tried rendering with a simpler pattern:
Rendered a gif to explore how the product lights up:
Rounded the sharp corners at the front and tried rendering with a different material:
Feedback:
Make the back thicker (1.5″ / 40mm) and round the corners Read more →
Dome Iterations
Inspired by the orchid for its out-of-the-world, irregular form.
Things to include while detailing (& Observations from sail ships):
tensional strings to hold down the structures and the connection Rain cover (using tensile screens) Fabric joints (because large pieces of fabric are joint by many smaller pieces) bulge within pieces of fabric because of inflationUpdates on the detailing (& Eye level view)
Opted for a less exaggerated inflation Read more →Design 4
