Modeling, Rendering and the Creative Mind of Design Legend: The Mother
Dive into the design world of Ivan—also known as Mother—a world-class designer whose work bridges the realms of consumer products and the entertainment industry. This week on ShopTalk, Ivan shares his unconventional journey from studying history to becoming a celebrated figure in design, known for his hyper-detailed renderings and innovative thinking. He emphasizes the power of procedural modeling in Autodesk Fusion for achieving precise, photorealistic results. His portfolio—often imitated—features standout creations like the iconic “shotgun design” and a mosquito repellent product that perfectly mirrors his digital renderings. Ivan reflects on the balance of left- and right-brain thinking, drawing inspiration from historical giants like Da Vinci, and underscores the importance of cultural and historical context in his work. He also makes a strong case for procedural modeling over direct modeling, citing its unmatched control and precision.
