Lo Res

The United Nude Lo Res project is an innovative new design method using computer software to create new designs and to re-design existing objects.

Forward Resolution

The Lo Res method provides abstract design possibilities. From a serie of renders one has been chosen and used for the final design. Besides the United Nude Lo Res shoe, which is available worldwide, a real Lo Res car is in the making.

Resolution of Design

Resolution means the amount of information per area, most commonly used to describe two-dimensional images on a computer screen as dots per inch (DPI). The United Nude Lo Res project is in three-dimensional (3D) resolutions: each object can be described by a series of 3D planes. When these planes are connected, they describe the shape of the object. In a higher 3D rendering (high density of planes) the shape appears smooth, with no sharp edges and angled shapes. As the 3D resolution is lowered, the object becomes more fragmented, changing its rendering and characteristic in the process.
