One of the most satisfying moments early in my design career came when I translated an idea previously just in my head and on paper into a 3D modeling software. It wasn't just a matter of redrawing the lines as I had on the page digitally, but a full reinterpretation of form with an added dimension. Time spent pouring over texture: reflection, imperfection, depth, warmth. The resulting photorealistic render of exactly the image in my mind was truly gratifying.
