Recarlo's Series
Where love takes shape — a cinematic ode to Recarlo's craftsmanship.
2025 · CGI Short Film
We know where love takes shape. It lives in the hands of artisans, where gold becomes light, emotion turns into jewels, and diamonds become hearts. This is the world of Recarlo — a place where craftsmanship and poetry meet. For this project, Recarlo requested a visual language that felt clean, dreamlike, and timeless: no excess, no visual noise, only an evocative and almost magical interpretation of their manufacturing universe.

— Process
How it
came together.
Step 01
Modeling & UVs
Built every jewel from reference with surgical precision in Maya and ZBrush, then unwrapped clean UVs to carry shading detail without compromise.
Step 02
Shading & Light
Developed materials in Substance 3D Painter and lit each piece to feel weightless — gold as light, diamonds as breath, no visual noise.
Step 03
Camera & Render
Slow, intimate camera work pairs with Houdini-driven atmosphere to deliver an evocative, almost magical interpretation of Recarlo's manufacturing universe.
