Shoot for the Cobble Clogs. All made with @vizcom_ #vizcom #genai #conceptkicks #lacelessdesign #footweardesign

Cobble Clogs for the @vizcom_ x @zellerfeld mule challenge. I wanted to design a shoe made from materials that would normally feel impossible for footwear, leaning into the unique process of 3D printing. Early explorations referenced materials like rope, braids, weaves, and other fibers. The final concept began as a basket woven structure that I inflated and evolved into the Cobble Clogs. The 3D cobblestone surface feels soft, doughy, and slightly cartoonish, while the gaps between the stones allow for your dogs to breath. Submissions close March 16, get your submissions in before then! Designed with Vizcom. #vizcom #industrialdesign #aidesign #viscom #design

Made a bathtub for my Smiski using @vizcom_ . Still mind blowing a red-lined photo can be turned into a render and 3d model. #smiski #rubberduck #bathseries #vizcom #industrialdesign #industrialdesigner #aidesign #genai #viscom #3dprint

A sticky note has never been so powerful. The ability to go from sketch to render to in context visual provides designers with a new kind of freedom when developing ideas. From sticky note to final visual took about five minutes using @vizcom_ ‘s updated Modify tool. #vizcom #industrialdesign #industrialdesigner #aidesign #genai #viscom #interactiondesign #prototyping #3dprinting #jewelry #jewelrydesign #bows #bracelet

Dedicated workflows for form & color variation in Vizcom makes it easy to push and pull your idea through prompts and palettes. With form variation, try customizing the axis to open up a sandbox of possibilities. #vizcom #industrialdesign #shoedesign #footweardesign #aidesign #genai #zellerfeld

Designing in @vizcom_ feels like sketching with a new level of freedom. One moment I’m prompting for wild new materials, the next I’m seeing the concept from new angles, then seeing it in context. I used Live Render to get real time visual feedback and explore aesthetics. In Workbench, I used New View to imagine the shoe from different angles. Finally, with Modify, I simply asked Vizcom to show me a model wearing the sneaker on a gorp-core styled model. And it nailed it. @zellerfeld 👀 #vizcom #industrialdesigner #industrialdesign #footweardesign #shoedesign #aidesign #genai

Chair explorations from this weekend, designed with Vizcom. The latest updates allow me to soar through the process and develop ideas in a way that feels more fluid than ever. Over the past few months, I led the design effort for Modify. It allows you to see your idea from a new angle, shift your design’s expression, create tileable materials from reference photos, and adjust the form of your concept. Let me know if you’ve tried it out :) I’m considering sharing more about the workflows here, let me know if you’re interested. @vizcom_ #vizcom #industrialdesign #industrialdesigner #aidesign #genai #viscom #interactiondesign #prototyping #3dprinting

Used @figma Make to prototype a digital labyrinth toy with an infinite number of mazes and colors. The playful 3D style of @asallen ‘s new camera app has been on my mind for weeks. The lighting with the shifting platform produces some really nice shadows. Going to try another version allowing for tilt controls. Really impressed by these new prototyping tools to either communicate the smallest interaction or a rough idea. #interactiondesign #hci #visualdesign #designtool #figma #figmamake @instamiggi

Bird house concept for @renderweekly x @vizcom_ . Simple folded sheet metal design that blends into the garden. Used a custom Palette early on to achieve a similar visual fidelity across concepts. Final CAD was modeled in Fusion 360, then brought back into Vizcom for cohesive renders and in context animation. Competition is running for the next few weeks, would love to see what you come up with and how you use the tool😊 #rwbirdhouse #industrialdesign #productdesign #vizcom #genai #aidesign

A series of coffee accessories designed in @vizcom_ . I was able to achieve super consistent results by applying material swatches and generating 3d of my designs to render them from another view. #industrialdesign #productdesign #mugs #coffee #vizcom #genai #ai
