    paper Velocitor X‑1 Personal eVTOL

    Here is the proofread and polished version of your project description:

    Velo X Aerospace contracted me to create 3D visualization promotional imagery for their early manned quadcopter prototype. As the project progressed, I converted the Maya 3D model into 3D-printable CAD assets, which were used for physical mockups. To further promote the prototype aircraft, I was tasked with creating an optimized 3D model that I converted for X-Plane flight simulation.

    Once two flying prototypes were constructed, I updated the simulation model to match the manufactured aircraft. This required considerable remodeling to accommodate numerous structural alterations. The finalized 3D model was a photorealistic match to the fabricated prototype, accurate down to the exact number of rivets in the battery compartment housing, making it highly suitable as a stand-in for print media.
