This page presents a series of exercises carried out during the advanced 3D modelling course. In particular, a final exercise is developed in which inspiration is drawn from the animal world. Presented here is the Glaucus Pool Lamp, an innovative design concept inspired by the captivating features of the Blue Dragon fish. Taking its cue from the unique characteristics of this hermaphrodite creature, the lamp displays a hypnotic play of colours reminiscent of the Blue Dragon's ethereal beauty. The Glaucus Pool Lamp transforms the interior lighting from a serene blue to a warm, inviting pink, reflecting the creature's adaptability to its environment.

3D CAD Advanced Study Portfolio

In order to learn complex modelling tools, several objects were designed and rendered, some simpler, others more complex, for example organic chairs and periodic patterns.

Animal Blooming

The course Digital Design:3D CAD Advanced will introduce the students to the most emerging digital design techniques and methods for digital modeling through advanced operational tools. Aim of the course is to achieve the production and control of highly complex geometries and their representation. Students will use different techniques to produce innovative digital design working and understanding different topologies of geometries, including Meshes, SubD, NURBS, and their representation. Particular attention will be to understand and learn the process of polygonal modeling ant the workflow between the different geometries and their proprieties.
