This 3D modeling project was part of a required assignment: from a selection of 24 reference images, we had to choose one and recreate the scene as accurately as possible. I selected a complex illustration made up of several distinct zones: a bedroom with a bed, curtains, and plants; an astronomy area with a giant telescope; a central structure with a stylized planetary system; and a basement turned into a laboratory.
The original image had many details and areas. I divided the scene into blocks: furniture, architectural structures, scientific or decorative elements. Each part was modeled in Maya, respecting proportions, angles, and the composition of the reference drawing. The goal was modeling precision.
No colored textures were used. I produced two types of renders: Ambient Occlusion to emphasize shadows and volume, and Toon with bold black outlines for a drawing-like effect. Both highlight the modeling work.
Maya was used for all modeling, camera setup, and lighting. I used Arnold to render both AO and Toon, adjusting lighting and shaders for a clean and readable result. This project helped me strengthen my skills in Maya and in detailed reproduction.
