QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
Pre-viz for Artist Alina Akbar
3D scanning and pre-visualisation for Queen of the Night (Raati Ki Rani), an immersive after-dark exhibition by artist Alina Akbar staged at Rochdale's Haji Cash & Carry warehouse. I LiDAR scanned the full venue ahead of the install, then built the pre-visualisation in Cinema 4D to plan out layout, camera angles and how the space would be used across the show.

Using the scan, I built a pre-visualisation in Cinema 4D - mapping the venue's interior, laying out the space from above, and rendering key angles of the main gallery area to plan lighting and framing ahead of the install.
On the night, the install matched the pre-vis: light boxes, projection, and Alina's pieces - placed within the warehouse itself, alongside a Nissan Micra used as part of the exhibition.
