The Challenge: > Transforming intricate, hand-crafted physical art into high-performance digital assets for 3D environments.

The Solution: > I developed a workflow that captures the geometric complexity of physical origami and translates it into an optimized 3D mesh. This project highlights the potential for brands to take handmade physical products and deploy them into AR (Augmented Reality) shopping experiences.

Technical Focus:

•Geometric Fidelity: Maintaining the sharp edges and folding patterns unique to paper art.

•Lightweight Mesh: Ensuring the final .glb file is under 5MB for fast mobile web loading.

•Cross-Platform Ready: Tested for iOS Quick Look and Android Scene Viewer.

I am going to create a 3D exploration series for Spline which I am planning to do here on Contra. Which cover image should I pick?

The 72 percent option wins because the heavier wordmark anchors a series cover, the first one feels like episode art for one piece, the second feels like a brand. For a recurring exploration series the cover should age across many posts, that is why the bolder lockup will hold...

Day 5 of my Personal Daily Creative Challenge This one was a bit of a shift from design into building. I explored using Claude Code to turn the Demetra concept into a faux 3D interactive asset. Still early, but it’s been interesting using AI as a creative collaborator rather than just a tool, especially for translating ideas into something interactive much faster.
