Louvers system, pt.1 – surface paneling

TweetThis tutorial will show how to set up an interactive facade by connecting a louvers system to a light sensor via Arduino. Have fun! First of all, let’s build the louvers system! We need some Rhino modeling: The “facade” – I have modeled a deformable vertical plane and shaped it into a  wavy surface by [...]

GH random sweep1 on surface

TweetThis is the first part of the “happy bday Jma” image creation. Step 1 – The idea was to create a tape that moved in space thus creating a dynamic form. Basically we should have a bunch of control points that shape two curves, a loft surface between the curves, a set of subsurfaces with [...]

How to make 3D outlines for lasercutting robots?

TweetThis Video is about creating Outlines of 3D Surfaces to generate a coordinate base for a lasercutting robot using Rhino. The solution is quite easy but you have to figure that one out first I have a customer who needed help and I made this video for him: How to make 3D outlines for lasercutting [...]

“Eurohaus” Making Of

TweetA little making of the “Eurohaus” Project I did for a presentation at the Autodesk BIM conference in Lucerne, Switzerland this week. The model was created in Revit and imported into 3DS Max 2011 where I added some Materials, Trees and other props to the scene. I then rendered simple elements with V-Ray and composited [...]

3DS Max 2011 and Composite: 32bit Framebuffer Tip

TweetWhen compositing in a physical correct way using 3DS Max 2011 you have to make sure that your framebuffer type is set to 32bit. If not, some serious headache can occur while trying to get the results in compositing you want. In 3DS Max 2011 Design the framebuffer is already set to 32bit, so you’ll [...]

Griesser Making Of

TweetFor product visualization, beside Softimage XSI and Blender, I use mostly 3DS Max with mental ray or Vray. I can import/convert nearly all CAD Files using Npower PowerTranslators and set my studio lighting very fast. Here I show a simple project where I have modeled a device using PowerNURBS directly in 3DS Max. I have [...]
