This environment started as a class project to create an apartment living space, with just a couch, a table, and a window to let light in. Me being who I am, I got excited about the initial layout and just kept building until it grew into what it is today. I truly enjoy creating magical spaces with lighting, so this was definitely a labor of love.

This was great for building experience with physical layouts, thinking about things like how things connect and make sense in the physical world. In the end I rendered out quite a few shots for the showcase video below, but I also wanted to create a second video with me doing a walkthrough of the environment to highlight some of the things I'd put a lot of energy into that didn't necessarily get the attention or screentime they deserved when I took the initial renders.

I hope you enjoy the showcase as much as I enjoyed creating the space!
