The Liminal design process drives an immersive pattern and color experience.
The 3D digital models, created by Liminal with an interior design 2D surface design purpose in mind, can be viewed extensively in an easy, immersive video browsing experience from multiple vantage points.
The video creates a fun browsing experience allowing the user to ‘fly’ above and below the object, zoom in our out, and even fly through the object while simultaneously applying sophisticated color treatments.
Still 2D images of interest are then captured to provide high-resolution images to be delivered to a manufacturer in its product-specific production file.
Faster, Better, Cheaper
The Liminal 2D selection process is so easy, it can happen on an iPhone!
As all patterns are designed in 3D space, they are easily altered for different 2D surface design and manufacturing, and complementary products can be offered across a manufacturer’s full list of offerings.
Collections do not become dated because the 3D digital models can be re-visited and updated to align with the needs of the customer, sales representatives, and global trends of the times.
Lastly, the entire video-based browsing and selection process using a 3D product to select designs for manufacturing allows for an inexpensive means to add customization and creativity to the manufacturer-designer collaboration process.
Nike Case Study
The creative power to select from a video sequence of hundreds of animated assets.
The images and animations extracted from the 3D digital models are designed to meet the manufacturing requirements of direct-to-substrate printing for 2D decorative surface design products like wallcovering, textiles, and flooring.
At the same time, these models can be manufactured in 3D using technology like CNC machining, casting, 3D printing, etc. to create a vast collection of products for a full-brand experience.

The Liminal process is a natural branding tool that merges unlimited creativity with design restraint.
Since this design method is not limited to a single design collection or singular still image, the amount of digital artwork able to be made available for video browsing and selection becomes exponential in a shorter duration of time.
This empowers the manufacturer and designer to have more options at their fingertips, and to be more creative in the selection process.
