High-Fidelity 3D Visualization for A-A Studio Merch

A collaborative project focused on high-fidelity 3D visualization of exclusive studio merchandise. Under the creative direction of Julien (@idosomthingcool on X), , I brought the studio’s physical merch plans to life. This collection includes the iconic Benjamin Edgar mug design, a custom lighter, and a branded keychain.

Creative Direction & Plans: Julien (@idosomthingcool) provided the technical plans and the aesthetic vision based on his work at A-A.

Design Reference: The mug features the distinct design language of Benjamin Edgar.

3D Execution: I handled the entire 3D pipeline from A to Z—including modeling, texturing, and lighting—to achieve a photorealistic studio look. All renders were created in Blender using the Cycles engine.

The goal was to create a digital "lookbook" that felt tangible:

Advanced Modeling: Recreating the precise geometry of the Benjamin Edgar mug and the mechanical details of the lighter and keychain.

Surface Realism: Developing complex shaders to represent metal, ceramic, and plastic with subtle imperfections (scratches, dust) for added realism.

Studio Lighting: Implementing a clean, professional lighting setup to emphasize the product's premium materials and branding.

Role: 3D Artist (Modeling, Texturing, Lighting).

Collaborators: Julien (@idosomthingcool) – Creative Direction.

Tools: Blender, Adobe Creative Suite.
