Introduction
Despite a full-time commitment to studying UX Design at university and working part-time as a UX Designer, my passion for learning new skills led me to explore 3D visualization. I started a self-initiated project to remodel a recognizable building from my hometown, Budapest, using Blender. Over six months, I worked to create a small city scene with the building as the focal point, mastering various techniques and processes required for realistic 3D visuals.
Project Objective
To learn Blender through a hands-on project by creating a detailed 3D model and city scene of a landmark building in Budapest.
Process
Learning Blender: Dedicated many challenging hours to learning Blender through YouTube tutorials, embracing a practical, hands-on approach.
Project Execution:
Creating the Layout: Started with 3D modelling using basic shapes and modifiers. Everything is hand-modelled.
UV Unwrapping: Prepared the models for texturing and detailing.
Texturing: Applied textures and materials from the internet and created realistic PBR materials using the Node Editor.
Lighting: Set up the scene with HDRIs to achieve realistic lighting effects.
Rendering: Fine-tuned the camera and render settings to produce high-quality visuals.
Challenges and Learning
This self-initiated project required immense dedication and problem-solving as I navigated through the complexities of 3D visualization. The process taught me the importance of persistence and the value of learning by doing.
Outcome
The final 3D model and city scene represent a significant personal achievement. This project not only improved my 3D skills but also ignited a passion for the freedom and creativity inherent in 3D visualization. I'm excited about the potential to combine my UX Design expertise with 3D visualization in future projects.
