Creo "Freestyle" Community Challenge #7: design a toy, robot, fun product or packaging

[bbrejcha]

Happy New Year, PTC Community! 

After my guest talk Class A  Creo Surfacing on 11/21, the PTC Community Team asked me to come up with the first Creo Community Challenge for 2025!   Freestyle surfacing is impressive if you haven't used it yet consider this challenge.  1 Modeling: using Freestyle  2 Rendering: Creo Render Studio 3 Movement:  Creo Mechanism   The latter 'movement' might be fun for those robotics engineers looking to dress up their robot.

On the heels (and continuation) of the gift giving season for many, I am asking you to think about and be inspired by your favorite gifts such as Kidrobot characters, Isaac Asimov I, Robot or from the Foundation Trilogy and Artemis space suits, space robot exoskeletons, pendent or jewelry, Star Wars or Star Trek spaceships, armor, baby elephant or underwater drones.

As the first challenge of 2025, lets get as many community members involved as possible!  Decide which of these three categories you fit into.  Or, maybe you are an overachiever and want to participate in all three!

1 Modeling: Freestyle

2 Rendering: Creo Render Studio

3 Movement:  Creo Mechanism

Along with your design entry, feel free to provide some info about yourself and your submission!

Once you submit your screen grab and subsequent model, consider answering these questions. 

• What specific Freestyle tools were used?
• How long was spent modeling in freestyle?
• Approximately how much time have you had using Creo Freestyle before this model? 
• How long have you been using Creo in general?
• What would be your dream job?
• Have you ever used Creo to model and 3d print a Christmas tree ornament?

here's my start at a dragon toy, will keep adding details and pushing pulling the shapes.   I'm thinking along the lines of a Mr Potato Head type toy

I had generated an image in ChatGpt as inspiration for this based on a family trip to Vietnam I just returned from.  I'll share that when I'm much further along.

here it is a bit more refined with some pushing and pulling.
