03 / Modeling and Texturing

Building the object,
then giving it surface.

Two approaches to surface authorship: procedural materials authored from scratch and photo-derived textures captured from the real product.

05 / Texturing with Photos

From real surface
to digital twin.

Photo-derived textures pulled directly from the physical product, straightened, unwrapped, and reapplied to clean 3D geometry. Used here on ZipSacks and Mela.

06 / Modeling and Manufacturing

A preview template
for the factory floor.

A Blender project built for an alpaca sock company. Designers drop SVG artwork onto a baseplate and instantly preview how the design renders on the woven sock before sending to manufacturing.

09 / Closing Note

What I love about 3D design is the chance to take something physical, a watch, a shoe, a bottle, a phone, and rebuild it in a space where the infinite is possible.
