Adventure Awaits

DATT 2500 - Introduction to 3D Modelling Fall 2024 York University, Toronto

Assignment Requirements: Create an organic model, UV map and apply textures, lighting, shaders, etc. to render a scene. The artwork must represent some aspect of your identity.

Everything modeled and UV mapped by me. Character model sheet reference was created by Danna Zhang and shared for non-commercial use on Behance. Rendered using Arnold Rendering Engine.

My project explores human curiosity. The character looks onto the horizon, wondering what’s beyond, desiring to explore further and fulfill his sense of adventure. It highlights the hopeful and wistful aspect of this theme through its bright colors and camera staging. This theme defines me because I’m an adventurous person. I travel a lot, and hope to one day have set foot on every continent in the world (I’m halfway there!). I’m also very inquisitive and enjoy learning. This piece demonstrates that through its sense of longing for the knowledge of what lies beyond, characterized by the boy looking away from the viewer, deep in his own world of thought.
