Batman
Stream Deck
Design Brief
This Case study explored product visualization and themed reinterpretation using an existing SolidWorks CAD model of a Stream Deck. The assignment Challenged us to render the device and adapt its visual language around a theme of our choosing. I choose to develop a Batman-Inspired Stream Deck, incorporating dark materials, dramatic lighting, and visual cues associated with the character. The project served as an opportunity to develop my rendering workflow while learning keyShot and Vizcom AI, using both tools to create polished in-context product renderings.
Project Goals
1) Learn how to create organic shelling in SolidWorks
2) Create a theme for the Stream Deck
3) Learn the Basics of KeyShot
4) Create an in-context render using Vizcom AI
Duration: 1 Week
Project Type: Individual
Key Takeaways
1) Learned the basics of KeyShot
2) Learned how to use light and material to reflect in ways that make a realistic render
3) Used AI as a tool for speedy in-context renders while maintaining the original design
4) Learned how to properly shell and surface using SolidWorks
