Fireside Stories

With this project, I wanted to capture the cozy feeling of cracking open a book over some sweets on a lazy fall afternoon. My goal was to challenge myself and practice modeling and texturing a collection of assets that felt visually cohesive. This project was quite intimidating initially because I wanted to include a lot of details, but I kept the scope manageable by focusing on the core pieces that told the story. Once those were complete, I used my remaining time to add extra props that made the scene feel more lived-in. I also really enjoyed making the materials and trims for the scene!

All aspects of the scene were created by me, with the exception of the decorative fireplace tiles, fire effect, and HDRI.
