To enhance the visual richness, the designer sought out multiple videos for self-learning to create more complex effects:

Speed Tree

Blend Layer

Water Body Rive

Grass and Flower Foliage

Falling Leaves Particle

After completing the artwork, a camera was set up within UE4, and Movie Render was used to export videos and key sequences.

Taking inspiration from two design principles by Oki Sato of nendo design studio:

1. Establishment of "New Connections": Connecting seemingly unrelated things through common elements or ideas.

2. Resting time doesn't have to be empty: Paying attention to the state of a product when it is not in use.

Design

The main design concept is a dessert plate, with a simplified design featuring lotus flowers and leaves that blend seamlessly with the background. The preselected materials are glass or translucent plastic, allowing for easy removal and cleaning of each component.

Design

The plate features three recesses: one for placing lotus-shaped dessert containers, another for a milk bowl, and the third for a beverage. The crumbs that fall while consuming the dessert can serve as bird feed, and the water droplets that drip from chilled drinks can act as a water source for birds. By utilizing the plate's "resting time," a new connection is established by repurposing the remnants of the dining experience to benefit the avian ecosystem.
