Open & Closed Product Sheet
An industrial-design sheet for a translucent ribbed product, shown closed and open — with the two views held to being the same object and the size stated on the page. Six fields.
We made two examples: a desktop beacon shown dark and lit, seen front-on, and a pocket warmer shown closed and split open, seen from above. Different objects and different colours, but in both the second view is the first one with one change and nothing else.
You get an industrial-design sheet with the product in two states that share one silhouette, one corner radius, one rib count and one base. The size is marked on a hairline with end ticks, and inner details show through the translucent shell in both states. The angle can come out more turned than asked, though it stays the same across both views, and how much of the interior shows through the closed shell varies quite a bit.

Open & Closed Product Sheet
What this makes
An industrial-design sheet for a translucent ribbed product, shown closed and open — with the two views held to being the same object and the size stated on the page. Six fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the six FIELDS lines. Write the second state as a change to the first — 'the same unit, lit', 'the same case, lid raised' — not as a separate description.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the sheet.
- Before shipping, cover one view and compare silhouettes. If the corners, the proportions or the feature positions differ, the run drew two products and needs doing again.
What you swap
- The product, and what it does
- Vibary Desk Beacon — a small desktop status light that glows when a build finishes
- The two states
- closed and unlit, beside the same unit lit from within
- Where the ribbing goes
- the whole diffuser shell, vertical ribs, top and base left smooth
- What shows through
- a ring of LEDs and the dark edge of a small board, ghosted behind the shell
- The size
- 90 mm tall
- The colour
- ice-white translucent, the glow a soft violet
Before it runs
- A product with something inside worth seeing. Translucency is a material with nothing to do unless something sits behind it.
- A real dimension. Guessing one is fine; leaving it out is what keeps these renders decorative.
- A second state that is genuinely the first one changed — lit, opened, extended. Two unrelated poses are two products.
When to reach for it
When the thing being designed is a physical object rather than a page: a lamp, a case, a speaker, a humidifier, a desk device. Templates in this style describe the material beautifully and never say how many views there are, so a model volunteers a second one and quietly draws a different product in it.
What changes
- One clean product sheet: the object closed and open, side by side on a pale ground, rendered like an industrial-design presentation rather than a photograph.
- The two views are held to being the same object — same silhouette, same corner radius, same feature positions — which is the thing these templates never check.
- The size is stated on the sheet, so the render stops being a mood board and becomes a proposal.
- Translucency is proved rather than described: something real sits behind the shell, because a frosted box with nothing inside is just frosted plastic.
- One ribbed material, applied to the same surfaces in both views, so the object reads as manufactured rather than assembled from two renders.
