Part of the Experience team for the Spring 2025 Senior Seminar, we were tasked with creating a representative 3D model of the WSU Vancouver Life Science Building's Cynthia Cooper Microscope Lab. The model is featured on the WSU Vancouver Life Science Building Web site

My job for the project was to create the models for the tables and both the dissecting and confocal microscopes. Additionally, I was tasked with compiling all the models from the team into a complete scene.

Modeling

I was tasked with modeling the Confocal and Dissecting Microscopes, along with the tables, floor and walls, shelf, and drawers.

Texturing

After recieving the assets from my teammates, I textured the five fish to showcase their mutations, and retextured all the assets to be compatible for export.

Layout

I laid out all the assets in the 3D space to form the lab.

Confocal Microscope

One of the main pieces of equipment the project wanted to highlight was the confocal microscope. I sought to capture as much details as possible while maintaining a stylized appearance.

Dissecting Microscope

The other piece of lab equipment the porject wanted to highlight was the dissecting microscope. Same with the confocal I wanted to capture as much detail as possible while being simple and stylized.

Five Zebra fish textures applied to the models.

Fish textures

Alongside modeling the microscopes, I was tasked with texturing the zebra fish models to highlight their differences. There are five unique mutations that change the color of the zebra fish. These textures were meant to showcase how they are different in color.
