The Space

Galactica Spaceship was designed in Rhino 8, brought into Blender to UV-map, adding materials as well as cleaning the geometry of its meshes to allow for a flawless transition into developer software. Finalized Architectural Visualization was rendered in Unreal Engine to create a space that is real-time walkable.

Packaging

3D sculpted model & Render

The coffin-style packaging was also modeled from scratch in Rhino, brought into Render to UV map, to be able to apply materials through Adobe Substance Painter 3D.

The coffin is designed to fit the doll snugly while serving as a narrative extension of the product. Its shape, scale, and structure were carefully considered to balance functionality with visual storytelling. The coffin was 3D printed and then treated with textured spray paint to simulate render materials. Branding elements and interior sculpting were added to complete the collectible experience, turning the packaging into part of the overall storytelling.

Bringing it to life

To fabricate the doll, I 3D printed the sculpt in PETG, chosen for its durability and ability to preserve fine surface detail. I then hand-painted the figure using layers of acrylic paint carefully building up texture and tone. To create additional shading and a sense of depth, I used chalk pastels to contour features to enhance the doll’s eerie realism.
