3d modeling

Prototyping is not just some 3D on your favourite software

You can't fully rely on software. Materials behave in ways simulations can’t predict. They interact with people, with spaces, with objects, with movement, with gravity. Prototyping isn’t just testing — it’s understanding.

rendering

First year, First project, First renderings, First achievements

This was my first industrial project, developed during my first year of university. As my first steps into rendering, I experimented with both minimalism — which is actually quite complex when it comes to lighting and composition — and more detailed scenes using textures, environments, and imported assets.
