Back in 2015, I moved to a school which specialised in Design and Engineering.
Here, I was introduced to 3D computer-aided design (CAD) for the first time. It was something I instantly fell in love with, coming from an interest in all things design and graphics related.
Over the weekends I would spend time modelling random objects around the house and render them photo-realistically to challenge my abilities.
I would often post my creations to Instagram under the name Stein Designs.
After a few months of doing this, I improved dramatically and was searching for something to test my abilities even further. That is when I came across a Fossil watch sitting in my brother's drawer.
At first, I thought 3D modelling a watch would be far too difficult for someone of my skillset and age at the time.
Over 20 parts later, I managed to create an assembly that recreated the entire watch.
I rendered it using KeyShot and put together an advert-style animation, inspired by Apple's adverts.
Looking back, I have improved a lot since creating the watch but I am still very proud of the end result.
