Breakout Session:

Chelsea plans on building a rough model in real-time so the student can get an understanding of both 3D modeling and class-A surfacing. Her role is to take a 2D sketch and turn it into a 3D model, from conception to production. The typical product design process is: sketching, theme selection, clay and 3D models made, design (and engineering) changes made throughout, Class-A Surface refinement, then lastly manufacturing and production.
