T-Splines 2010 modeling contest

Overall & best in category

Travis Serio - Family history ring :: 1st place overall model. I sat down and decided to model a family crest ring for my grandfather, something I have always wanted to do but never found the time or really wanted to tackle because of the time. I approached the design completely in T-Splines knowing that it would be perfect tool for the job, and man was it. Brian Hamilton - Arachnepack :: 2nd place overall model. This design is inspired by the tale of Arachne from Greek mythology. Mahsa Adib - Wellness center :: 3rd place overall model I was working on a “different look at Structure in Architecture” in spring-2010 studio project at Columbia University. It was an experimental studio to explore if structure can be created to mold the volume and space rather than its mere load bearing obligation. I started off with Rhino to face this challenge. There were 2 issues in using Rhino: -The models were rigid. I was not able to modify the model as soon as it had been created. It was time consuming to start all over again to enhance the original idea. -The other limitation was to create a complex model as a single and fluid surface. Rhino forced me to break it into many individuals piece. So I started off modeling back and forth between Rhino and Tspline. It helped me to benefit from preciseness of rhino, at the same time Tspline’s power in creating organic and complex shapes. Michael Magee - Ring :: Best jewelry model This ring was inspired by the Art Nouveau style which commonly incorporated natural themes in unnatural ways. Layers of ancient symbolism merge as the ginkgo leaves intertwine and transform into the ribs and ridges of bat wings, which support centered twin bees. Peter Donders - T-Chair :: Best consumer products model T-Chair (T = Ten pieces / T-splines) An organic chair production-ready for 5-axis CNC milling. Nicholas Channon - Cultural Building :: Best architecture model Design for an Opera House on Nodeul Island, in Seoul, South Korea. Whilst studying for my Diploma in Architecture which I undertook at the Univesity of Westminster I used t-splines extensively within my design studio as a method of producing organic and smooth architectural forms which could be developed quickly and adapted as the project progressed. Daniel Segraves - Tetra-Kai-Decahedra Network Morphology :: Best T-Splines + Grasshopper This work emerges from a long running investigation into the structure of Radiolaria- the protozoic zooplankton known for their intricate siliceous skeletons. Jody Culbert - Santana Cat Sub :: Best marine model This design utilized the benefits and advantages of T-splines for nicely faired hulls in marine design. Javier Sanchez - F1 Car :: Best vehicle The design consists of morphological axtracción a flying dinosaur called Quetzalcoatlus, by its aerodynamics, organic forms and power, the popes are chosen because of aerodynamics and a single skin tone and texture of these birds makes a powerful and compact set as are the formula 1 as these are now more powerful and faster cars in the world and want to make a similarity in time and communicating as a concept aggressiveness, speed, aerodynamics, power and organic life causing the machine to life and dare personality of its form, 'The Formula 1 is a living being' Josef Zaruba - Piano Chair :: Best render Piano chair is modern concept of classical piano chair. The author found inspiration from the world of Fauna so that design reminds one of an ocean jellyfish. The whole project has the most modern chrome, carbon materials and synthetic foam for the seat. An essential part of the chair (legs) is modeled in the Rhinoceros, all other parts are modeled using T-Splines. Rhino is a precise modeling program. However, using T-splines to define shapes of piano seat or papers was real fun. T Splines is very great modeling tool. Love that 'cause it's dynamic, intuitive and easy to work with.

Honorable mention

Roland Auer - Butterfly Jewelry :: Honorable mention To me, T-Splines was the missing link in using Rhino for creating organic pieces. Rendy Himawan - Diavolo Chair :: Honorable mention In this design I wanted to say that we all have something bad in some way. So, we deserve to sit in this “devil chair,” regardless what job we have. Politicians, lawyers, designers, architects, we are a devil in some way. Art Rich - Sanctuary :: Honorable mention This project was inspired by the sacred tree of Ora which is from the Banyan Tree Family in French Polynesia. The organic shaped structure on the cliff was difficult to make on the software that was available to me, so I decided to try working with T-Splines. Vladimir Shcherbakov - Officer :: Honorable mention Modeling was carried out in Rhinoceros 4.0 and T - Splines 1.1. This model was transferred to Pro/ENGINEER for mold design. Jak Figler - Cardinal Ring :: Honorable mention One of the highlights of this software is that it gives the user the ability to model in a totally organic process and hone those items down to the tightest of manufacturing tolerances.
