State Level 3D Modeling Competition — First Place.
Won first place at the state level 3D modeling competition, competing against entries from across the state.
Winning the state level 3D modeling competition was the result of hours spent inside Blender — learning to sculpt, light, texture, and render scenes that told a story. The competition challenged participants to create original 3D works judged on creativity, technical execution, and presentation.

The Work
The entry was crafted entirely in Blender — from initial blocking and modeling, through UV unwrapping and texturing, to final lighting and compositing. Every detail was considered deliberately, from the mood of the lighting to the geometry of each object in the scene.
What It Felt Like
Hearing the result was one of those moments that validates every late night spent tweaking a shader or re-doing a topology. It confirmed that investing deeply in a creative tool — really learning it — pays off in ways you cannot predict.
