RESUME / CV
PIT-26 is a 3D interactive environment created in Blender, imagined as an underground cyberpunk boxing gym set in the far future. Inspired by gritty, high-impact cyberpunk aesthetics, the space blends sport, violence, and technological augmentation into a cohesive, immersive world.
The project explores the tension between human interaction and machine-driven environments, using lighting, materials, and spatial design to build atmosphere and narrative within a confined setting.
The gym is centered around a sunken fighting arena, giving rise to its name: PIT-26. Surrounding the pit are training zones equipped with heavy bags, free weights, and functional gear, creating a space built for both fighters and trainers. Comfortable lounge areas provide seating for spectators, offering clear views of the bouts below. Bright neon signage and holographic displays shine through the raw, industrial architecture, injecting bursts of color and light that contrast with the gritty atmosphere of PIT-26.
