GRAVITY SKETCH

Drawing in the air first

A pair of taupe moulded clogs with cut-out strapping, rendered on a pale grey ground

A glossy black full-face helmet with white cat ears and a dark visor, floating on a grey-blue ground

Before any of these were meshes they were gestures, drawn at full size in VR, standing up, walking around the shape instead of orbiting it on a screen.

A clog with the strapping cut straight out of the volume. A helmet with ears. A wraparound shade with no front frame at all, just one sheet bent around the face. The captions all say the same thing: made in Gravity Sketch, testing a new method of design.

A matte black wraparound shade lying on a grey surface, one continuous sheet with no front frame — One bent sheet, no frame

The method stuck. Volumes come out fuller and stranger than they do with a mouse, and they arrive with their proportions already decided. Blender takes them afterwards, to measure, tighten and make them buildable. Spatial ideation first, precision after.
