3D Digital Model for Organic Architecture Masterplan
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am seeking an experienced 3D designer or architectural modeler to translate a graduate-level masterplan into a clean, accurate, and fully organized 3D model. The project site is an island surrounded by water, and the design language is intentionally organic—featuring curved massing, fluid circulation networks, and seashell-inspired over-water villas. This model will feed directly into my thesis visualization workflow, so precision, clarity, and organization are essential.
Project Overview
The core objective is to build a well-structured 3D model that captures the spatial logic, hierarchy, and formal qualities of the masterplan. The pathways are the narrative backbone of the project: their flow, connections, and subtle material differentiations must be immediately legible in three dimensions. Building forms are moderately complex, emphasizing soft, sculpted geometries instead of rigid orthogonal structures. One primary building requires a simplified interior (basic layout, walls, cores, and floor plates), while the others need only accurate exterior envelopes. The villas sit lightly above the waterline and share a shell-derived geometry that must be modeled with clean curvature, symmetry, and watertight surfaces.
Rendering, lighting, and entourage are not required—this is solely a modeling and file-organization task.
Software Requirements
Preferred: Rhino (.3dm)
Accepted: Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Archicad, or any tool capable of high-quality free-form modeling
Exports: Native .3dm is ideal. Lossless exports such as .STEP or .OBJ are acceptable as long as layer naming and structure remain intact.
Key Deliverables
Pathway System
Continuous, readable flow across the site
Clear hierarchy (via layers, naming, or color-coding)
Smooth curves and precise surface/solid transitions
Building Massing
Accurate external geometry for all buildings
Soft, organic forms—not boxy approximations
One key building to include simple interior planning (walls, cores, floor plates)
Over-Water Villas
Shell-inspired, symmetrical forms
Clean, smooth surfaces with no kinks or breaks
Fully watertight solids suitable for rendering workflows
Model Cleanliness & Organization
Logical, intuitive layer structure
No stray curves, duplicate geometry, or unjoined edges
Correct normal orientation across all objects
Grouping, naming, and hierarchy should be consistent and easy to navigate
Timeline
Total duration: 7 days from project start
Midpoint review: A progress check-in (model screenshot or draft file) halfway through to confirm direction
Ideal Freelancer
You should be comfortable working with organic architectural geometry and confident in producing clean, production-ready 3D files. Attention to detail, technical precision, and file hygiene are essential. If you can deliver a model that is both visually coherent and structurally organized, I would be happy to collaborate with you.
