The Work

In early spring of 2018, a search began for a 3D model of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The intention was to use it in a series of 3D renders for the Science Fiction property, The Amaranth Chronicles. Surprisingly, no models were found online, not even low polygon versions on popular sites like turbosquid.com or cgtrader.com. Rising to the occasion, the cathedral was modeled from scratch and, within weeks, a satisfactory version was completed. Unknown at the time, others were also in search of a high-quality model of Grace Cathedral. After sharing renders on various platforms, Sean Mason, CEO of Immersive in San Francisco, reached out. Known for its iconic lighting installations, Grace Cathedral's lights are legendary in the area. Following a tour of Immersive's facilities, Sean proposed licensing the model for a marketing pitch to the church. This marked a unique situation where art created for passion was licensed to a corporate entity.

 
 

Note: This 3D model of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco CA was re-used. Designer included it another project title The Amaranth Chronicles.
