This is my MVP project, started in Spring 2025 and developed through 2026. The objective is not only to develop a fresh and unique automobile interior concept, but also to learn Blender to visualize the ideas in my mind, animate them to communicate with my audience, train my eye to better understand realism, and prepare myself for future AI-integrated workflows.

A supreme autonomous grand touring experience, where passengers are seamlessly cared for by innovative technology and architecture.
