Stylized Kitchen – High Poly
Introduction
Our aim was to create a stylized environment that feels magical, useful, and truly lived-in. To do this, we made a big set of modular props — like old clay jars, carved cauldrons, handwoven baskets, and rustic kitchen tools — all carefully designed to add depth and storytelling to the scene. We started by modeling everything in Maya, then added details in ZBrush, and finally rendered in Arnold. Because of the modular design, these props could be reused throughout the space to keep things consistent and flexible. To bring out the stylized look, we focused on exaggerated shapes and hand-carved details that give everything a charming, handcrafted feel. Small touches like scattered utensils, stacked firewood, and runes on pots hint at the daily life of an alchemist or an old-world cook, making the scene feel alive and full of stories. This project let us explore how stylization, modular design, and storytelling can work together to create a small but immersive world that feels believable and real.
