3D Environments Showcase

Sci-Fi Interior (top image)

A 3d environment artwork of a sci-fi lounge area, taking inspiration from Star Wars and games such as Star Citizen. The scene leverages a variety of cyberpunk and other sci-fi visual motifs as well as that of contemporary interior design. Motifs:

Cyberpunk style emission light (right side) - used to balance composition; visual weight

Circular window frame - using internal cylindrical supports (created using a custom built radial array system - Blender Geometry Nodes)

Seat - inspired by contemporary office chair design

Rendered using Blender Cycles engine, post-processing done in Affinity Photo.

Here (top image) I have broken down some of the various 3d modelling processes used to create the seat design - as shown, and exemplified through changes in mesh topology. I have also included the floor pattern bump map (bottom image), made in Affinity Photo, leveraging textured brushes as well as gaussian blur and gradient map adjustment layers.

Post-Apocalyptic Desert (top image)

A Mad Max inspired 3d environment artwork, featuring a long-abandoned car and various scrap objects (junk) and the ruins of some kind of old garage/warehouse, a world scorched by the unforgiving sun; gradually being swallowed by the desert.

Shadows are a crucial to the composition of this piece, serving as a means to unify its various elements and lead the eye to its main point of interest. Differences in the hardness and softness of shadows are influenced by shadow ray distance from its source, something achieved by layering the scene HDRI over itself and offsetting its vector rotation.

Scene uses procedural textures in conjunction with ambient occlusion masks for layering rust, instance scattering for foliage and subtle volumetric lighting.
