Moominland was originally created in 2022 and later revisited in 2023. For this project, I was responsible for all modeling, lighting and rendering. The Moomins have been one of my favorite series for as long as I can remember, so creating my own small version of that world in Maya felt very personal and joyful to work on.
It was also my first time building a full environment in Maya, which made the project an important learning step for me. I had to think more carefully about how individual objects work together as a complete scene, instead of only focusing on single assets. Revisiting the project later also gave me the chance to improve the overall look and deepen my texturing skills. Looking back, this piece still feels special to me because it combines a subject I genuinely love with a big step forward in my 3D workflow.
