Proposal for main identification sign (“CVS” used as a placeholder only). I like that even simple 3D models like this can communicate design intent so much better that conventional orthographic views…

…and yet, contrary to popular belief, 3D models offer great tools to quickly produce 2D drawings with accurate dimensions and orthographic views.

Let me show you how I can add impact to your presentations, and enhance communication with fabrication using 3D illustration. Please use the contact link to the right.
