Ichiraku Ramen Model

The iconic restaurant from the beloved anime series Naruto This project was a labor of love, and I'm excited to take you through the design process.

Inspiration:

I drew inspiration from the show's vibrant atmosphere, characters, and attention to detail. I aimed to recreate the cozy, welcoming ambiance of Ichiraku Ramen, where Naruto and his friends shared countless meals and memories.

Design Process:

- Reference gathering: I collected reference images from the anime, manga, and fan art to ensure accuracy and authenticity.

- Modeling: I used Cinema 4D to create the 3D model, focusing on intricate details like the wooden parts, lanterns, and interior decor.

- Texturing and Shading: I added textures and shaders to give the model a warm, inviting feel, mimicking the show's distinctive color palette.

- Lighting: I set up lighting to replicate the cozy glow of the restaurant, making it feel like a welcoming spot just like the anime(close enough)

Details:

- Accurate recreation: I aimed to precisely recreate the restaurant's architecture, including the entrance, windows, and roof under a short period of time
