Augusto Castillo - 3D & Motion DesignerCase Study:  Eyewear


I chose eyewear as a subject to push my skills in 3D modeling, texturing, and animation. I modeled the Apple Vision Pro and Oakley sunglasses, focusing on their intricate designs, precise proportions, and diverse materials. I also experimented with animations to showcase the designs dynamically, highlighting their form and craftsmanship. This project helped refine my technical abilities and elevate my creative presentation.

Software
Blender | Modeling, UV Unwrapping, Texturing, Animation 
Houdini | Cloud Simulation
Adobe Premiere | Video Editing, Post-Processing 












I used Blender for modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, and animating the eyewear. Drawing inspiration from websites, I carefully modeled each piece based on reference images. For the animations, I explored different techniques, including simulations to mimic gravity, smooth and dynamic movements, and creative camera work to present each piece engagingly. Additionally, I created cloud simulations in Houdini to enhance the visual storytelling for the Oakley Sunglasses render.
