Hard Surface Modeling - 80s themed DnD Dice Tower

 For this assignment, I was tasked with modeling a hard surface object to make into a game ready asset. I chose to do a dice tower that I intent to 3D print when it's completed. I am currently running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign based on 80s music and have never seen a dice tower made with that theme so I thought it would be fun to be the first.

Lighting Workshop - Cameras, Studio Lighting, and Environmental Lighting

 For this assignment, we were tasked with making a scene using assets we've made previously. One scene needs to use studio lighting, like if you were showing a product, the other needs to be an environmental setup with the same asset as the subject. I decided to use my Demogorgon from last semester. And for the environmental lighting, I decided to place the Demogorgon in the upside down, specifically from season 1 of "Stranger Things."
