SONDER
SONDER
Sonder is the sudden, profound realization that every person you encounter is living a life just as complex, rich, and intricate as your own, complete with their own unique ambitions, relationships, worries, and backstories, most of which you will never know.
have always loved the idea of apartments or condos. There are a variety of different stories in each apartment, and No interior of the apartments look the same, and it reinforces the fact that everyone has their different story. each window of the apartment opens itself up to you. It is almost as if you are taking a glimpse into their story. This apartment building would feature one row of apartments, and the camera would orbit around the building, showing the different rooms in different apartments.

PROJECT BRIEF
Find a lack or gap in your portfolio, and work on a quarter-long project that will fill it. In this case, my gap in my portfolio was a lack of 3D environments that follow a narrative.

I wanted this project to feature a variety of different rooms that have no inhabitants. These rooms would serve as a driving force that allows the audience to make up a story and a persona about the “inhabitant” of the room based on the interior design of the room.
I started off researching different architecture structures and objects that had the look that I was going for, and then I made a mood board for them. This would help me stay on track for my animation.

I started off researching 3D programs that I would like to use to start off this project. In this case, it was Unreal Engine and Blender! Once I got the basics, I branched out to more complex videos that would help me achieve the amount of modeling and texturing I would need for my animation. Once I felt confident in my work, I branched off into modeling.

Once I finished with the basic modeling, I then went on and researched apartment interiors so that I could make my apartments seem well lived-in! I took inspiration from many luxury apartments in real life, as well as apartments from video games such as Cyberpunk! Here are some progress photos!
