Archive 2013: 3D Model for Assembly

Live in the future, then build what's missing.

— Paul Graham

Developing the TomyTones character as a designer toy concept — starting from 2D sketches in Adobe Illustrator and building the full 3D model in Cinema4D with i.materialise as the output target.

Concept

The TomyTones figure is a vinyl-style designer toy character. The geometry was designed from the ground up with 3D printing constraints in mind: clean topology, appropriate wall thicknesses and assembly joints that can be printed separately and assembled by hand.

Tools

  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Cinema4D
  • i.materialise
