High-Fidelity 3D Seat Modeling for the Renault Clio 6

This project involved crafting photorealistic 3D seat models for the Renault Clio 6 as part of the 3DCOM initiative, delivering digital assets that mirror physical products with exceptional accuracy.

Objective

The goal was to produce highly realistic, flexible 3D seat models for the Clio 6 that support iterative design workflows and seamless integration across digital platforms, ensuring accuracy and efficiency throughout the development cycle.

Responsibilities

  • Led subdivision modeling of seat components from initial development through final delivery. Catia to Blender

  • Optimized topology to support stitching logic, UV mapping, and cross-platform compatibility.

  • Maintained parametric construction history for flexible design iterations.

Challenges

  • Achieving photorealistic visual accuracy and precise volume representation from physical mock-ups.

  • Creating optimized mesh topology that supports complex stitching patterns and UV workflows.

  • Ensuring software interoperability across multiple 3D platforms within Renault's pipeline.

Results

  • Delivered production-ready 3D seat assets that met stringent realism and technical standards.

  • Enabled seamless design iterations through parametric modeling workflows.

  • Successfully integrated assets across Renault's digital visualization and marketing platforms.
