3D Gold Bar Collection: Exploring Materiality and Value in Digit

Step into a world where precious metals meet digital design. This collection of 3D gold bars represents more than wealth; they're a showcase of meticulous craftsmanship and a reflection on the intrinsic value of good design. Each bar, from its shining surface to the engraved text, has been carefully modelled to represent the allure of gold—both as a material and as a concept.

As a computer science enthusiast with a self-taught appreciation for graphic design, I approached this project with a programmer's logic and a designer's creativity. Through the iterative process of shaping, texturing, and lighting, these virtual ingots were brought to life, one careful adjustment at a time.

Reflecting on the textures and sheens that give real gold its luster, I dove into the details that make 3D objects pop. The result is a set of bars that gleam with realism, each angle offering a new play of light and shadow, each inscription a testament to the precision possible in digital realms.

In these pieces, you’ll find a commitment to the art of learning, a passion for the beauty in the details, and an open invitation to discuss the intersection of technology and aesthetics. I’m thrilled to share these with a community that values the craft behind the visuals and looks forward to your insights and opportunities for collaboration.
