Postcards from Future Iran | Design Process

A behind-the-scenes look at the development process of Postcards from Future Iran, from early hand sketches and spatial ideation to final cinematic rendering. The project explores retrofuturistic storytelling through environment design, architectural composition, material development, and atmospheric lighting.

The workflow includes concept sketching, 3D modeling, UV mapping, material creation, scene setup, lighting, and rendering in Autodesk Maya using Arnold Renderer, followed by final lighting and color refinement in Adobe Photoshop. Because apparently even imaginary futures require endless UV fixes and lighting adjustments at 3 AM.
