Sketch Modeling
Autodesk Alias / Sub D Cinema 4D Polygon
Loose limitations with the utmost freedom can lead to one or multiple sketch modeling proposals. Building with history in Alias allows for fast updates while building with clean structure ensures our models will import to your chosen engineering platform.
Sub-D and polygon design development similarly allows for fast changes and plenty of time for exploration.
Data models released for digital review and confirmation of direction often lead to the next phase of design development modeling.
Design Development Modeling
Autodesk Alias / Sub D Cinema 4D Polygon
Now that we have the design direction narrowing down, we start incorporating more criteria aiming towards an aesthetically pleasing design that ultimately can be produced.
We can take a model we have developed or surface data created from another source, and further perfect the supplied surface data.
While further Sub-D and polygon development can lead to a great result, we encourage a move to nurbs based modeling in Alias as your design and criteria solidifies.
Milling, Hard-part and Animation Preparation
Autodesk Alias / Sub D Cinema 4D Polygon
This is usually a subset of Design Development Modeling, but could also be simply supplied data clean up where we complete specific preparation for milling, hard part build for a physical property, or animation.
Class A for Production modeling
Autodesk Alias
Design Surfacing for Manufacturing, (DFM). Now that we have a design freeze, or a chosen design and surface model developed, we collaborate more closely with your engineering team, incorporating any additional criteria required to make your product real. While staying true to your vision, we make the smallest adjustments possible to manufacture your dream.
Where our Journey Together Begins
Every project starts with a conversation. Whether you're launching something new or returning with your next big idea, we're excited to partner with you and create work that brings your vision to life.
We believe the best results come from thoughtful planning. Together, we'll define the project's goals, scope, timeline, and deliverables before the creative process begins, ensuring everyone is aligned from the start.
Because every project is unique, our pricing is tailored to fit the work. We'll help determine whether an hourly arrangement or a fixed project fee is the right approach for your goals and budget.
