How to Assemble a Scene From Among-Us Using SelfCAD

Bringing a digital scene to life requires more than just modeling individual objects, it involves thoughtful assembly, spatial planning, and creative storytelling. In this article, we will walk through how to assemble a complete scene inspired by the popular game Among Us using SelfCAD. Known for its colorful characters and simple yet iconic environments, Among Us offers a fun and approachable theme for 3D scene creation. Using SelfCAD’s intuitive tools, we’ll explore how to place the scenes in a dynamic layout, and create a cohesive visual narrative that captures the spirit of the game. This project is a great way to practice scene-building while exploring the intersection of design and fan art.
