Unreal Engine 5, Einstar, Blender - 2024
I worked as an intern for raven labs between July 2022 to August of 2024. Over this period I worked on many different projects including Product animations + Still Renders, Virtual Reality demos, 3D website design, 3D scanning + Photogrammetry, and 3D printing. The following projects are outline below.
Between 2022 and 2023 I created virtual reality environments using unreal engine 5 to showcase Raven Lab's Past projects to clients. One of these Projects involved showcasing an interactive virtual reality environment for a DYNamometer created by raven labs. I designed a compact 3D lab environment using blender to house the Dynamometer. Utilizing blueprints I was able to add interactable features to the dynamometer. The virtual reality experience can be seen below.
All animations were designed using blueprint nodes which were activated when certain hitboxes were triggered. An example of one of these blueprints is shown below, along with the timeline graph that controlled the speed of the animations.
Additional Work was also done to create animations that would update real-time with hand movements, enhancing the experience. however this was later scratched due to technical complexities. The blueprint illustrated below was intended to be used with this function.
I also designed a virtual reality demo for a pill tray developed by raven labs for cvs. This allowed the pill tray to be used with pills in a interactive virtual environment, showcasing the effectiveness of the design.
Furthermore, I was tasked with recreating a wire cooling tray for a client that no longer had access to the original CAD file. implementing 3D scanning and Photogrammetry, I was able to analyze and redesign the original 3D model, eventually 3D printing prototypes with multiple revisions. The new version ended up working as a proper replacement for the company.
Original Piece Client Wanted Remade:
Photo scanned Model Imported into blender:
The new version had to be re-modeled off the photo-scan since the original piece was eroded from over twenty years of use, as shown by the bumpy texture and thinning walls above.
Remodeled Version In blender:
The recreated model had to be perfect down to the millimeter, especially considering the mounting points
to the exterior device it was being used for. For this reason multiple prints were created over multiple revisions.
3D Prints Side By Side Front & BACK:
Using this prototype, the client was able to replace the piece they needed regardless of the fact that there was no original cad model to work with.
