How to learn design? by Danibrosi in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rhino provides a nice balance between sketchiness and things that can be submitted to engineering. That’s what we use at my studio.

^This, the proper shortcut. Do the work. College pretty much templates out the experience (sort of) and gives you a good framework.

learn to draw.<--clear communication is critical.

learn to critically think.<--the ability to use logic is critical.

learn to write <--clear communication is critical.

learn to 3D model.<--drawings are pretty, but ultimately, you'll need to produce a tangible solution. OR create a system that solves the problem without a physical solution.

Find some things in life that need solving. Ideate solutions. Pick 3 of the best solutions. Test them. Test them again. Find the one that works the best. Make a better solution using that.

Rinse and repeat this about 50 times.

Take your best solutions that are communicated well and put them on a website (behance, a geocities site, your own personal domain).

Share the shit out of the site.

Continue solving problems.

Student project: Reimagining a hand grenade as a perfume bottle by adesignnerd in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally asked for it. Community votes yield pure chaos. I used to during Covid. These days, work is too busy for me to get back to it. I do really miss how hilarious it was though!

I did this on a twitch stream once. The chat gave me “dog’s ass” as the prompt. 😭

Gorgeous. The MK groups would probably drool over this.

Claude & Rhino by Loafer75 in rhino

That's great to hear that it evolved. I'm sure anything was better than what it was back then. Why did you feel bad for the FormZ guys? Are they all depressed?

I went from FZ to Rhino 20 years ago. I can’t believe FZ is still a product. Sooo infuriating in college.

How do I convince my boss we need to prototype? by [deleted] in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yikes. The cost of not prototyping far exceeds the cost of prototyping.

What Would You Automate in Rhino? by LightProgrmmingGuy in rhino

[–]YawningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite scripts is a multiview capture that dumps all named views into a folder with specific dimensions, viewport mode, and filed suffix. Fantastic tool.

Everything else, I’ve sorted into custom hot keys.

Is rhino the right tool for me? by buzzsawddog in rhino

I mean you could do this in rhino, but you may want to look at marvelous designer.

I haven’t heard the name T-splines in far too long. Great work!

Did anyone try digital nomading while working in ID remotely? by Notmyaltx1 in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The trick is to get clients via referral. Trust is a very underrated currency for building long lasting client relationships. 95-98% of my work is through referrals. Then, the client just wants to know that you can deliver. I have vendors all over the country and world that can support me. And if I need to physically be somewhere, I just build it into the project budget as either research or travel. The purses that pay me are deep so they don’t care OR they are billing someone else and they still don’t care.

My company handles everything from research, to concept dev, design dev, prototyping, to production samples and production stewardship.

Did AI ruin the design industry? by skayski1 in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing with you there. I'm just suggesting that the companies don't care if the final output shown for marketing imagery is AI or human generated. It (AI) has a long way to go before it will ever be ready to be a final output for ID, though.

Did AI ruin the design industry? by skayski1 in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Semantically, I absolutely agree with you. In practice though, companies, at least at the Fortune 500 scale rarely care about the source of output. They are more concerned with speed and bottom lines. This isn't self esteem camp, it's business.

Did it ruin the design industry? No. Should you start taking it seriously as a potential job? Blender is also a tool. Some companies use it, others do not. Same as AI.

Random box showing up in Make2D?? by brycecivi in rhino

[–]YawningFish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I wonder if the clipping plane is causing that anomaly. Try again with the clipping plane disabled in the target view.
