3D Graphics....
Design visualisation
Product design and design visualisation has always been a huge interest of mine ever since I started doing Product Design at University. My interest in 3d graphics never really took off until the end of my course at Uni. After I graduated I started to learn more and more on Computer Aided Design and got an extra qualification in AutoCAD. My real interest in CAD now lays with the likes of the great 3DS Studio Max. A lot of my time is taken up in doing web design so it is hard to find time to learn more of 3d studio max.
Below is a collection of work I have put together for the website and I hope you like them as much as I have creating them.
Chair Design
This is my first attempt at designing a chair. I thought I would go for a nice modern approach and a comfortable look. This design took around two hours from start to finish.

Sunglasses Design
Again this was my first attempt on a pair of sporty sunglasses. Trying to get the right shape was a complete nightmare. I tried to map a carbon fibre effect around the frame which I think works ok.
I have a few ideas on how to do this differently so you may find another pair cropping up soon. Not bad for a first attempt

Apple - Mini iPod
I know there are probably a thousand examples of 3d iPod drawings out there but I thought I would have a go at my own. Fairly easy to shape but it was tricky getting the screen to look right. It looks a little fuzzy but overall I was happy with the final render.

Monitor Design
As you know I have a keen interest in product design and I love monitors and huge plasma screens like most people. I didn’t spend a lot of time on this one at all. I thought I would have a quick go at this one so here it is.

Character Design
First off I would like to say I am in no way a good character designer, however I like a challenge so this is why I have this small collection.
Patrick - Spongebob Square Pants
This is my very first attempt at any type of character design. I chose Patrick off the Sponge Bob cartoon simply because I thought it would be fairly easy to model and simply because I find hilarious which is quite disturbing really.

Bomberman
I based this little guy on a bomber man. The character wasn't too hard to create due to his primitiveshapes. At first I didn't know were I was going with him but at the end he seemed to turn out ok.
