A 3D model of the Raspberry Pi case from the back, showing the port cutouts on the frame and the translucent Pi model inside.
A sketch showing the internal design of a 3D-printed Raspberry Pi case, based on a prop from Prominence. Handwritten notes detail software like 'Docker' and 'SVN Server'.
A concept art sketch sheet for the 'Letarri Computer Station' prop from Prominence. It shows multiple views (front, side, back) of a retro-futuristic computer terminal.
One of my favorite memories from the Prominence project! To say thanks to the team, I adapted one of my in-game prop designs into a 3D-printed case for a Raspberry Pi. It even hosted a mini-website for the art department! #ProminenceGame #Prominence10th #RaspberryPi #GameArt #TBT #SciFi #B3D

Beyond the 2D concepts, I also did 3D modeling for Prominence, like this structure for Skyway. Fun fact: I was also a voice actor for one of the minor characters! It was my first time doing VO, and a ton of fun. Big thanks to the team for the opportunity!

It's the 10-year anniversary of the sci-fi adventure game Prominence! I'm so proud to have been part of this award-winning indie game. I worked as a concept designer, 3D modeler, and even voiced a minor character! A huge congrats to the whole team at DMW. Itโs amazing to look back on this project.

I had a blast building the lunar environment for the Astrobotic Moonshot Museum, so I turned it into a small, playable demo.
Want to explore a futuristic 3D-printed moon base, crawl through dark lavatubes (don't forget your flashlight! ๐ฆ), and find some "souped-up" rovers?

A work-in-progress screenshot in Blender showing the 3D mesh for a network of procedurally generated lava tubes. The complex, branching tunnels and scattered rock assets are displayed in a solid grey modeling view.
One of the most satisfying tasks of the 'Cosmic Careers' project was creating the curve-driven lava tubes. This required a custom-tooling approach to create non-destructive, UV-mapped geometry for the underground environments. #b3d #3DArt #GameDev #Unity

A screenshot from the Unity 3D editor showing the interior of a high-bay cleanroom. The camera looks up from the floor at a large, yellow gantry crane spanning the brightly lit ceiling, with the top of a lunar lander visible at the bottom of the frame.
An eye-level screenshot from the Unity 3D editor of a spacious cleanroom environment. A black and gold lunar lander is the central focus, with equipment like a rolling staircase and crates nearby, and a yellow-railed walkway on the right.
How do you prepare for a mission to the moon? It starts in a cleanroom. For the 'Cosmic Careers' interactive planetarium experience I developed the 'Cleanroom Kit,' a complete 3D environment. #GameDev #Unity #HDRP #B3D

A comprehensive digital mood board or reference board, displaying a wide array of small images. Categories include multiple photos of cleanrooms with scientists in protective gear, various lunar surface images, space exploration concept art, futuristic vehicles, additive manufacturing processes, and numerous photos of modern and classic racing cars.
Every great project starts with a vision. For the 'Cosmic Careers' project, I created a mood board to define the visual direction, drawing inspiration from real-world cleanrooms, lunar landscapes, and race cars: https://lyonritchie.com/case-studies/cosmic-careers.html

recently released emails from a copyright case in the us showed meta executives debating whether they should seek permission from, and make payment to, the authors of the over 7.5 million books they had scraped data from. "it would be unreasonably expensive," one concluded. as meta is valued at $1 trillion, we might dub this schrรถdinger's economics: where a company is both the most valuable on the planet yet also too poor to pay for the materials it profits from. it's a neat trick. and one you have a chance of pulling off, if you own the majority of communication platforms in the world.
