A cozy world in 3D @lllabua

Dear Diary,

I’m LaBua and I’m from Bangkok, Thailand.

The first model I ever made was a cute cactus in a pot. I saw a friend’s post, thought it was adorable, asked about the software, and that’s how I started with Blender.

I love modeling small, detailed props — especially little objects for cozy isometric rooms. That’s definitely my favorite part.

In terms of software, Blender is my must-have. I use it for all my cute 3D work. I also use CapCut to edit my videos, and lately ChatGPT has become my little planning buddy.

For me, coloring always takes the longest. It can be tricky to find the right tones and color combinations that make the model look nice and really stand out.

I like cozy and cute styles, so I really connect with games like Animal Crossing. I also love Pixar’s use of color and try to learn from their style.

3D art has definitely changed how I see the world around me. It’s made me more interested in, and more observant of, all the small details in everyday life.

If I could model for any game, film, or universe, I’d love to work on a cozy game project like Animal Crossing, designing scenes and props. That would be amazing!

Until then!

LaBua
