I took a break from developing Framer Templates over the past month and decided to invest more time in learning Motion Graphics and 3D Visualization.
I’m still in the learning phase, and I expect it will take a couple of months of consistent practice before I feel fully confident with these new skills.
Attached is a recent practice project I created while following a course by Bodhi (TheBlenderRenderer). I’m already comfortable with 3D modeling and working with materials, but this project gave me an opportunity to explore something new: setting up a 5-point lighting system instead of the more traditional 3-point lighting approach.
I’m also learning After Effects alongside Blender, and I’m finding that a lot of the concepts are transferable. However, compared to the Graph Editor in After Effects, Blender’s Graph Editor will take some additional time and practice to become comfortable with.
I’m happy that this new learning journey has already begun. Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing my progress as I experiment with different forms of 3D visualization in Blender, while also creating practice projects around SaaS promotional videos in After Effects.
Still learning, still experimenting, and looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me.
The improvement is definitely showing
A fully realized 3D model of a futuristic medieval reinterpretation of Renaissance parade armor. The design carries glowing gold and crimson circuitry, sharpened angular plating, an extended pleated skirt, and a reworked helmet silhouette, all built and refined across multiple iterations in FLORA and Blender.
The model preserves the core storytelling elements of its source: a central breastplate composition, narrative shoulder scenes, and repeated royal badge motifs, translated into a new material language while keeping the original structure and proportions intact.
This piece was created as part of FLORA's Museum Challenge, reimagining the Armor of Henry II, King of France (ca. 1555) from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's public archive. A full video walkthrough of the design process is available here: CREATION WALKTHROUGH VIDEO

Emperor Malt Whiskey - Concept FMCG
Goal
To create a premium visual identity for Emperor Single Malt Rome Whisky that communicates its bold character, Roman heritage, and handcrafted positioning. The goal was to move beyond conventional whisky aesthetics and establish a distinctive, cinematic direction that feels modern, luxurious, and powerful.
Target
Affluent whisky enthusiasts, premium spirits consumers, collectors, and a design-conscious audience seeking distinctive and sophisticated alcoholic beverages. The visual language is aimed at consumers who value craftsmanship, heritage, exclusivity, and strong brand storytelling.
Result
The final visual direction combines deep red tones, dramatic studio lighting, rich glass reflections, and a strong editorial composition to create a bold premium presence. The result positions Emperor as a contemporary luxury whisky brand with a distinctive Roman character, giving the product a memorable and visually powerful identity.
Soon - we will create extraordinary taste and pass it your vision :)
