Bedside cabinet - animated assembly instruction (concept)

A self-initiated concept piece: a flat-pack bedside cabinet with a drawer and a door is put together step by step, the way a printed instruction shows it, only in motion. Every part and fitting is a real 3D model: cam locks, dowels, confirmat screws, a drawer on roller runners, concealed hinges, bar handles and a nailed-on back. The parts table, fitting codes and counts are on screen, so the film can sit next to a paper instruction.

One animation, two looks: clean technical line art and a textured version (oak decor body, graphite matte fronts); this file is the textured one. 6 steps, 58 s, with sound. Made in Blender; a new product needs a new parts file and a step script, the fittings library is reused.
