Meshed Egg
The Egg and stand project was the result of a sequence of assignments for a class at MIT called "Design Computation." The first assignment was to mesh model an egg with holes in it, the second was to create the stand, and a series of assignments ensued with the goal of rendering the end and its stand in a variety of lighting types and settings. My design for the pattern in the egg was meant to be as organic as possible, incorporating the lumps and irregular holes that resulted from the "smooth" mesh command in AutoCAD. To design the legs of the stand, I attempted to capture the smooth yet structural curves I've seen in some hanging planters. I received praise and the highest possible grade for the class, and learned valuable techniques involved in 3D mesh modeling and rendering.
