Peclers Paris & Substance 3D: A Masterclass in Material Storytelling
The intersection of trend forecasting and 3D artistry is where innovation truly sparks. In a captivating project, Peclers Paris, a trend forecasting agency, collaborated with Adobe Substance 3D to visualize future design directions. The result? A stunning concept headset that showcases the power of texture, detail, and material storytelling.
The project meticulously takes us through the design journey, from initial conceptualization to the final application of materials. It’s a deep dive into how forward-thinking design can be brought to life using cutting-edge 3D tools. Maximilien Vert handled the headset colorway texturing, ensuring each shade and tone perfectly aligned with the envisioned aesthetic.
