Asset Structure Viewer

A procedural 3D sketchbook for understanding the structure of technical objects.

In the project

The actual local editor generates the assembly from its structure fields. The preset is a starting point, not an imported model.

Look inside the assembly.

The starting point

A technical assembly can be difficult to understand from a label alone. A procedural model lets the structure be adjusted and inspected directly.

What I built

A proof of concept for generating and inspecting structures such as cooling assemblies, valve clusters and control cabinets. The project explores how a technical object can be made legible in three dimensions.
