Can't wait to watch Oppenheimer on a big screen, also because of the always amazing Hoyte van Hoytema (Director of Photography for Oppenheimer, Tenet, Interstellar, Dunkirk etc.) Here're some explorations & renders for a modular product design research experiment I did with him over an intense 3-month period back in 2019 (for his [now seemingly defunkt] "Honeycomb Modular" camera & light rigging system/startup) - super nice experience, even though nothing further came of it at the time...

The challenge was to create an evolution of HvH's original flat hexagon base module, keeping all of its existing mounting features, but also allow it to be assembled to form more complex/architectural macro-structures. The design of my revised module concept allows formation of truncated octahedron macro-modules as base component for then even larger structures...

The module base geometry was generated using my https://thi.ng libraries, then refined & rendered in Fusion360.
