Production-grade from the start.
A thesis project executed to the same discipline as OEM production work — Alias surfaces, full CMF documentation, rendered animation.
A near-future Audi SUV concept. Thesis project at the Politecnico di Milano TAD master, designed and modelled in Alias, rendered in VRED, with full colour-and-material study and animation.
The QS-Sphere was the thesis project of my Polimi TAD master's — a near-future Audi SUV concept exploring how the brand's design language might evolve through the late 2020s and into the 2030s. Less floating signature line, more disciplined volume blocking; the front face simplified into a single illuminated mask rather than the heavy chrome grille architecture of the current generation.
Surface design and modelling in Alias, the industry-standard Class-A environment. The full vehicle was resolved to tangent-continuous surfaces with clean theoretical lines — the same discipline OEM design offices use for production-ready CAD handover.
Full colour-and-material exploration: a main palette (green pearled paint, black matte, metallic grid, sand-blasted aluminium) and a secondary palette (blue metallic paint with cyan and blue interior lighting). Cyan and blue accent lights run along the lower body and signal indicators.
Group project with Pierpaolo Caroli, Enrico Pellegatti, and Akhil Piyush. Interior elements expanded in a follow-on detail set.
