Hello there, here are some examples of what I would like to build and some things I found cool. These images have been pinned on my 3D Inspirations pintrest board.

This image is of a functional plane that was created at a university. This is the kind of item I would like to create, some sort of flying machine that has multiple parts which are fastened together. This would be a more complex project and would require some research into connective design.

 

This is a cool model I found on the internet. It's a character from Street Fighter and I would like to have the talent to make a model like this, but I want to focus on product design more than organic creations. I just think there's an impressive amount of detail in this model.

 Sound enhancer for smartphones

This device is called the Mush. It amplifies the sound output from a smartphone without any power. This is the sort of item I would like to design. It's innovative and useful. It looks good and has potential for being a salable product.

3D printed furniture

This is an example of some more artistically conceptual product design while still remaining functional. These designs are a bit outside the scope of what I personally would like to create but I think they're still pretty cool.

 #3dPrintedSculpture

This looks like a modern example of the artistic style of futurism. It implies speed and movement. It looks like a complex model and is also an impressive size for a 3D print. I can't imagine how long this would have taken to print and the size of the printer. Objects this size would be hard for me to do without breaking it down into parts so I wouldn't get this ambitious just yet.

3D Print Clay

This caught my attention. This is a 3D printer that uses clay to make it's models. This feature could have some interesting applications, I'm thinking of being able to make some complex moulds for casting metal objects. This is also a more environmentally friendly material to create objects and once they're fired they would last as long as any plastic object.

Thinking about creating

I would like to start envisioning different items that are unique. I would begin by sketching out pictures and thinking about how I would go about building the items in Blender. I will continue to scan Pintrest and the net for inspiration, to find out the trends and what's been done.

I would like to get into prototyping as a first step by creating a set of characters for fun. Not sure about what type of characters I will create as in geometric or organic modelling.

Link to my 3D inspiration Pintrest board

Hello there, I've just set up my first pintrest board for my 3D conceptual development. Here's the link.

I'll be doing regular updates as the year goes on.

Greetings. In this blog I will be exploring and taking inspiration from designs and artworks I find while browsing the web and from the social media site Pintrest in particular.

The purpose is to increase my design knowledge and held to develop my own style and method of creating products and items in particular.
