Small Robot
A Blender animation about a small robot lost inside a vast spaceship — a hard-surface modelling exercise that turned into a storytelling one.

What it is
A short animated story: a curious robot navigating the corridors of an enormous ship, trying to find its way home.
What I built
- Character model with clean topology and a low-poly budget suitable for real-time use.
- Environment — the ship interior, built to feel vast next to a small character.
- Camera and staging doing the narrative work, since the robot has no dialogue and no face.
- Animation aimed at reading curiosity and determination purely through movement.
What I took from it
Scale contrast is the whole trick. The ship only feels big because the robot is consistently framed as small inside it.
