Design, 3D Modeling, & Animation

Develop core 3D animation skills such as modeling, texturing, lighting, and the animation principles. This animation of an “isometric” room building itself was inspired by recent Airbnb advertising.

Approach
The final animation was built in Blender and drew much of the visual inspiration from designs associated with the Bauhaus. Array and boolean modifiers were used not only build meshes, but to animate them later. Cloth simulations were used to deform meshes for soft objects like pillows and a blanket for the bed.
Refinement
Materials were created in Blender and applied to objects throughout the scene. Larger meshes animate into the scene first, while smaller set pieces appear later. The camera then pans through the room to allow viewers to experience the smaller details in the scene.
