ABOUT

This project was an experiment to push Blender’s Cycles rendering engine, specifically focusing on glass materials. I wanted to explore how Cycles handles transparency, refraction, and light interaction with minimal post-processing.

The renders showcase a reimagined version of Balenciaga sunglasses. I chose to remove the tinted lenses to emphasize the clean design of the frames and test the limits of realistic glass rendering in 3D. Each image highlights how light refracts and interacts with the material, creating reflections and caustics to make the renders look lifelike.

Tools: Blender (Cycles), Photoshop
Focus: Product visualization and material study
