PROCESS
Modeled the head and body vessel in Fusion 360.
Created circular pattern to map the 34 blades with dual line up inside the body.
Embedded the spots as bodies, into the individual blades of the moth.
We used VR for the first time as a team to visualize our design in a 3D space.
I overlayed one of original ideation drawings to re-align our moth spots. I then sketched on each blade in Fusion 360.
A dual sided folding fan which represents the characteristics and coloring of a Picasso Moth.
The mechanism features a dual side folding fan with a grab hold at the top for convenience.
We rendered and animated our picasso moth fan in Keyshot and Premiere Pro.
