Process

[Notes]

This project involved creating a virtual showroom in Blender, designed to function as an exhibition space for clothing on social media. The concept centred around a paper-inspired aesthetic, where all elements—from lamps to clothing racks and C-stands—appear as though crafted from paper cutouts. To achieve this look, textures were first hand-drawn on paper, then digitised and imported into Blender. These scans were then digitally folded into 3D shapes, bringing the handmade quality of physical drawings into a digital environment. The result is a virtual space that combines the tactile charm of paper with the flexibility of virtual design.
