Art Directors Club
To celebrate 102 years of the Art Directors club, The One Club for Creativity launched the ADC101+1 Expo, a virtual interactive gallery experience featuring 101 designers and creatives from around the world in collaboration with AI image generators. This project explores opportunities with AI's new role in the creative processes.
The piece I created was inspired by old scientific botanical illustrations, reimagined in a new way. After making an imagine using Midjouney, I 3D modelled the scene using Maya and ZBrush, painted the textures in Substance Painter and animated the lighting.
Groups of designers works are released in 3 instalments. This animation piece is set to be released in the second instalment mid March.
