Sennett — 3D Blender Artist & Aspiring Architect

An expression of identity by utilizing the topology of areas which hold important family history and memories.

By using open source satellite scans I exported the topology maps of the terrain in the area where my family has decades of history.

Cloth interaction with import of physical landscape demonstrating the compliance of the design with the surroundings, similar to the way rainfall moves with the terrain it lands on. I use this technique to create an architectural form to base the building off.

Used the form generated to create an office building and placed basic details to demonstrate scale.

Inspired by the work of Leigh Dovey and Leo Fender, this project has been a chance to test my workflow with complex shapes and textures in 3D.

Attempt at a procedural texture, I don't consider this Sunburst texture a success due to the over-complex nodes.

Using booleans to cut into the mesh for neat inlays, I've also used applied normal maps to the roughness to create subtle imperfections.

Making an alpha map to define transparent areas on a each plane that will make up the object.

Using watercolour paint as reference to develop imperfections for the 'hand- painted' style of the texture.

Referencing primary photos of English and Welsh Countryside for the colour and shape.

Nodes to create the 'watery' blotches that make up the texture, done through mixing voronoi textures.

Geometry nodes layout stacking instances in the volume of a mesh with a range of possible rotations to give the free-form style.

Use for sky texture.

I learned and experimented with a mountain of new materials and techniques which developed my understanding of model making.

Using an icosphere shape to imitate the central part of the dandelion, this is where the light does.
