Chainer

Jewellery in 3D

Fun · September 2023

I used jewellery as a starting point for a series of 3D scenes, experimenting with landscapes, light and reflective materials.

The project grew to include stills, animation, sound and a website, all built around the same objects.

Brief / Why I did it

I wanted to explore the setting around a small object. The jewellery needed to remain the focus, while the surroundings gave each image its own atmosphere.

Process / Tools & thinking process

I started with the object and its material, then built the lighting and setting around it.

I adjusted reflections, contrast and camera position to keep the jewellery visible within the larger scene, then carried those choices into the animation and website.

My role / What I made

I developed the art direction, 3D scenes and animation, worked on the sound, and designed and built the website.

Result / What I learned

Working across stills, animation and web made me pay attention to how the scenes connected. A consistent use of light and materials helped the different formats feel like parts of the same project.
