One of my main responsibilities while working on Storm8’s design games (The Property Brothers, Home Design, and Ellen’s Garden Restoration) was designing four different concept arts of a variety of interior and exterior spaces. One concept art is a ‘before’ version, while three concept arts showcase how the space can look ‘after’ (mimicking the process of The Property Brothers home renovation shows).

I start by crafting moodboards to get the look and feel for a space, before assembling a rough 3D mockup in Maya using existing assets to direct 3d development for camera placement and composition.

I do a lot of architectural and interior design research, exercising color theory, and photobashing to produce my concept arts.

Once the designs are complete, I then create a detailed technical guide of all the textures and objects in the space, to be used as reference for our external 3D art teams. It’s satisfying to carry an idea to fruition!

This particular space is a breakfast nook, created for The Property Brothers home design game.
