Tea Set Family of Individuals

The goal of this project was to make individual components of a tea set look like they belong together or are part of a family, and then use cad for the first time to build the set and render it to life.

 
 
  • Look at other examples of product families and what makes the components coincide, and then generate ideas.

  • Refine ideas through sketches and modeling in Fusion 360.

  • Refining model features and color schemes while rendering in Keyshot.
