The Carousel

A carefully constructed vintage carousel sits in a hazy desert. Hands on the platform slowly rise and fall. Surrounded by playful noise and the ringing of a starting bell, it may awaken at any moment.

Dear passengers, are you ready for the ride?

β€œCarousel” is a 3D animation project centered on intricate modeling and lighting effects. Through Maya, I focused on modeling the top details of the carousel and the subtle lighting that ties the entire piece together. In particular, I used crystal and mirror materials to create reflections, adding a mysterious, nostalgic visual quality to the piece.
