Modular shelving WIP

Post by JeZ » Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:12 pm

This is based on a previous model.

Ive been thinking about that concept for a while and the design is still very much a wip.

I desperately need storage for my office, so I might build one soon, but then at the same time I would like to end up with a "product"...


I did a couple of renders for fun, then I started to think about the one I would put in my office, then started modeling my office...

Any C&C about the design or the renders would be great :D

Cheers

Jerome

Love the system. Have you figured out the fastenings yet or is it just a concept. Your renders are very nice, but the glass is a little off. I think it should have a greener edge.

Looks like a very cool system. ;)
Great renders! Love the lighting in the first 2 studio shots.

@l_breault: I dont know yet how to attach everything. It will probably be some kind of knock down connectors. This is almost the least of my worries, I am sure there is a way to do it.
Yeah, the glass looks strange. It was my lighting setup. :!

@Fletch: As you can see, I am not very good at interior scenes. This is what I am trying to learn right now.

You definitely became a Topaz denoise evangelist! :lol: Good stuff indeed, but I cant afford it now.

I'll think about your suggestion, thanks! I dont quite know yet... it was an attempt to add a little dynamism to it and to make it more interesting when looking from the side.


While talking design, my goals are:

1-Design the "first" UPSable shelving system :shock:
2- either floor standing, hanged on the wall or as a room divider. I think the latter would be awesome.
3- Preferably as flexible as possible, but that is obvious.
4- have different storage solutions to add as options to the empty box.


Anyway, heres is my last render. I worked mostly on the lighting. It is now very close to my real office, though it is not a very good lighting setup.

Cheers.

open storage can look messy to me, so I like the closed storage units. :^:
Lighting/image looks great to me! Still question the guy sticking out at the stairs. It's definitely not up to code for ADA.

ADA? Do you mean American Decency Association? :lol:

Yes youre right, I will definitely change it. It is even worst a wardrobe prototype at the right above the stairs :oops:

I agree with closed storage (I have a dust problem being so close to the shop), but at the same time I prefer the lighter look of opened storage and it is way quicker to find what your looking for... :!

Cheers.

ha! well you are in Canada, so, while we share the same building code (generally speaking) maybe you don't have to deal with the ADA.

Amazingly simple, but optically too big blocks for me. :D
