Entry to contest
My entry for @RikOostenbroek’s contest. I used Geometry Nodes in Blender3D, to populate, rotate and color the dots in different scales/frequencies for contrast, and with attributes. It was fun, and I was really happy to receive compliments from the organizer who works with major brands like Porsche, Apple, Taylor Swift, Swatch, Nike, BMW, AT&T, etc.

Shapes around circles with Geometry nodes
One of my specialties is the design of BMX Pump tracks. For quite a time I want to make a procedural modeling asset of pump tracks because mostly they have very similar properties and parameters, the most custom thing is the layout of a custom area. I could probably learn Houdini but realized that it would take me ages to learn it at the respective level, besides I do have not much use of procedural modeling otherwise. A big event for me is the appearance of Geometry Nodes in Blender 3D which is the 3D modeling tool I use. I made many experiments while learning principles and functionality, and gradually tried to get closer to my major goal. I stuck with precision arcs which would make it possible to attach the forms of turns. My good colleague Emīls Geršinskis-Ješinskis (Thank You!) suggested to inspire by the works of Dimitris Ladopoulos. (Take a look https://lnkd.in/d6haapdf) I was very impressed and I saw the opportunity to try to recreate the principle of creating those generated shapes around the centers. This challenge was not easy, with a lot of tweaking, and brain-boiling, but it seems I’ve succeeded in about a week of working […]

Own eVTOL Project – “LadyBird”
Tags like #airtaxi #electricflight hashtag#evtol #airtaxi #urbanairmobility #flyingtaxi #futureofmobility #electricflight #airtaxi #avgeek #flugtaxi #lufttaxi #greentech #airtravel #regionalairmobility are trending big time now. And I see more and more concepts of flying regional electric taxi, passenger drones, with vertical takeoff capabilities. And I was very concerned about lack of gliding option of most of the concepts, even provided by Airbus, NASA and Embraer which are very serious players in field and market. NO! I wanted to step in at least with my conceptual idea which provides this automated air taxi concept with gliding feature which saves energy and also saves lives when there’s no engine power. And it also can save energy if the runway is available. So vertical takeoff is jost on spots like rooftops, helipads, special air taxi parking lots. If You are aviation-related and would like to cooperate to develop this concept, please contact. I am open to opportunities and to help with much more ideas. Will be more images and videos related to this concept. I already have modifications in mind.

Double pumptrack
One of many pump tracks co-designed and visualised for a client – track builder. The final result on the site is a little different.

Some animated projects
A Short video to demonstrate some of motion related work done in the past. Some are budget, some are ASAP, some just to provide the idea. No of them are Hollywood level, just because most of my clients need fast, optimal solutions – good looking, but without wasting too many resources.

Simple TV artistic instalation proposal
The potential client wished to see my vision for simple, yet artistic, futuristic, organic demonstration stand for a new TV model which can be placed by the wall. This idea did not materialise, but I’ve got the client.

Olympic Torch
Visual advertising manufacturer “Kvikworks” got order to make 6 olympic torches for 6 major Latvian cities. This is the sketch they were provided As company usually makes extracted logos and typography from 2D vector designs, they needed someone to help with such 3D shaped and curved design. I was asked to make real scale 3d model and make optimized shape with sharp edges. I should also make model and drawings for a framework on which metallic shell will be welded on and models of the flames. I also made special texture for flames. And that’s how result looks like. Always awesome feeling to see designed and modelled object in real world. And here some article about first installed torch in city of Ventspils.

Product Box design
I did this design in some design competition for real product. Surprisingly for me, I was nominated between leaders and went through to final round. But in result I did not win, although I think that the work is good enough to show out.

Drone cover
This is my entry for small competition of drone cover designs. So I decided to make semi-organic, somewhat agressive, but aerodinamic shape for drone. I provided cover with special cockpit for onboard camera and easy opening door for camera placing as well as battery changing and charging.
