Louis Poulsen Product Configurator
UI Programmer, Illustrator and 3D Artist
Summary
The fixture emits a glare-free downward directed light. The light source is hidden at the top, inside the asymmetric carving on the side of the post, where the gradient serves as a reflector that softens the light and forms a pleasant organic shape on the ground below. To optimise the flexibility in the lighting design, the illumination is adjustable with plus/minus 5° vertical and 360° horizontal, allowing for a more varied light distribution. The fixture is based on a modular principle and can in some configurations be built with up to four highly flexible light heads on one pole.
Software used
Unity, Illustrator, Blender 3D
My Contributions
- Design of the user-experience.
- Design of UI in collaboration with Louis Poulsen.
- Implementation of custom UI system for Unity that supports the design philosophy i.e. custom animations for UI elements.
- Design of code architecture to allow the configurator and UI to communicate properly (a variation of the MVC pattern).
- Implementation of system using JSON files to determine the contents of the dropdowns (allowing the client to specify products for different markets on the server).
- Implementation of the 3D look and feel (lighting, materials and customized render pipeline for proper object highlighting).
- 3D people for scale (mostly optimization and baking of AO).
