[TAGS] 3D models

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Aishwarya, wow, this sounds so cool and I'd love to get my hands on both of these models. The detail of the pyramid, including the sand around it, sounds so tactilely interesting. I'll also point out that even while you're designing these for blind children, many blind adults will likely get just as much out of them.

Also, I was just listening to one of my favorite songs-Pyramid Song by Radiohead—earlier this afternoon, haha. So yeah, pyramids are awesome. :)

Hope to see some of your creations one day!
