Process
With the prompt of designing a 3D environment, Merchant’s House Museum was my first step towards learning Autodesk Maya. I chose the Merchant’s House Musuem, a historic house, built in the mid-19th century, located in Downtown Manhattan. The project presented an opportunity to challenge myself with the anique furniture and interior design while potentially helping preserve the experience of this historic landmark. 

(1) Image study of the rear parlor of the Merchant’s House Museum
Outcome

The final product consisted of three camera angles of the rear parlor focusing on the piano, fireplace, and chandelier. I would love to revisit this model in the future to experiment more with the mouldings and ionic columns. The Merchants House Museum is currently fighting for its life against real estaet development. If you enjoyed my model I highly encourage you to visit the home!
