3D visualization

Point clouds, LiDAR and drone capture, light fields, 3D modeling and VR, for seeing a space before it's built or understanding one that already exists.

I've done this work at Northworks Architects, Bulley & Andrews and The Gettys Group, from virtual reality walkthroughs that let clients explore a home before it was built, to construction models and hospitality interiors.

What's included

  1. 01

    Reality capture

    LiDAR and drone capture of existing sites, processed into point clouds and measured models.

  2. 02

    3D modeling

    Buildings, interiors and objects, modeled by hand or generated with code.

  3. 03

    Light fields and VR

    Immersive walkthroughs you can look around in, before anything is built.

  4. 04

    Rendering

    Stills and animation for design review and marketing.

  5. 05

    3D on the web

    Interactive models that run in the browser, like the point cloud above.

Hospital digital twin

2020

An existing hospital captured with LiDAR scans and rebuilt from its rasterized floor plans as a scale-accurate Revit model, then brought into Unreal Engine for real-time visualization with PBR materials and ray tracing. The whole building could be walked through in VR.

2017

At Northworks Architects I turned the floor plan and materials board for Ravinia Brewing's taproom into a 3D model in Unreal Engine, with its brick, wood, lighting and furniture, set up so the design could be walked through in VR.

3D Library

2026

A prototype built at The Gettys Group: a multi-vendor catalog of hotel furniture where every item has an interactive 3D model alongside its spec and compliance pages, a portal for vendors, and a real-time digital-twin room built in three.js.

AI interior design tools

2025

Tools I built at The Gettys Group for its interior design team. A photo of an existing hotel room is broken down into edge and depth maps with ControlNet, so every generated concept keeps the room's exact layout. Designers could explore dozens of directions, edit details in place with inpainting, and swap in approved furniture with custom-trained LoRAs.

3D modeling

2017–26

I've modeled buildings and spaces since 2017: virtual reality walkthroughs of homes before they were built, construction models on commercial projects, and hospitality interiors. The village pictured is a recent personal piece, generated entirely with Python code driving Blender.

Brick Design Studio

2026

A LEGO kit design web app. You describe what you want and Brickley, the studio's AI agent, builds it live in 3D from 698 real LEGO part molds. It checks that every stud actually connects, then produces a priced parts kit, a BrickLink list and an instruction booklet. A live product with a paid plan.
