Project goal: Create an attractive exterior design of the casing (metal or plastic) without processing the internal engineering. A visual concept is needed: shape, style, proportions, basic variations of colors/textures (All details will be provided in private messages after selecting the performer)
Scope of work: Development of 2–3 casing shape concepts based on the brief and references. Development of the final concept after choosing the direction. Preparation of high-quality visualizations (renders) from several angles. Suggestions for color and texture palette (CMF: color, material, finish) at a basic level. Preparation of a 3D model for presentation (low/medium detail) – not for production.
What is not included in the task: Engineering, design documentation, DFM/DFS (preparation for production). Development of fasteners, internal components, and assemblies. Electronics, circuitry, modeling of internal space. Preparation of drawings, material specifications, and technological maps.
Materials and technological assumptions: The casing is considered in two directions: metal or plastic (final decision will be made in private messages). Basic recommendations regarding thickness/radii/stiffening ribs – at the discretion of the performer, but without detailed processing for production. Approximate dimensions and ergonomic requirements will be communicated in private messages.
Formats of results: Renders in PNG/JPG. 3D model for review/editing: OBJ/FBX or STEP for viewing the shape (without guarantee of production suitability). Source files of the working scene: for example, Blender/3ds Max/Fusion 360/SolidWorks – by agreement. A brief note describing the concept and CMF proposals (PDF).
Requirements for the specialist: Experience in industrial/product design of casings, futuristic or restrained forms. Portfolio with relevant examples (link is mandatory). Understanding of basic limitations of metal/plastic at the level of shape and assembly.
