About me
My name is Sidi Abderrahmane Bouam, but I am mostly known online as Abdou Bouam. I’m a Freelance 3D artist from Tizi Ouzou, Algeria. I have experience in game props, product visualization, materials and lighting, and more. You can visit my portfolio to see some of my artworks on ArtStation and Twitter.
Inspiration
I have always been fond of electronics and it’s one of my hobbies. I have studied computer maintenance and got introduced to electronics—I’ve loved it ever since. I worked in the past with Raspberry Pi computer boards and Arduinos and I loved them, and when I saw posts about the new Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller it immediately caught my eye. I loved the castellated pin headers and the small form factor, not to mention its technical characteristics. I ordered one for myself and just had to create a 3D model of it while I waited for the actual one to ship.

great work abby!! can you tell more about your workflow and optimization of this model?
did you start from a plane projecting on it the texture and modeling the bump and objects?
did you use a normal map or something like that for the little detail?
thanks
I wish I had these kinds of skills! Abdou is the artist behind this piece (I'm just the article editor) - I recommend popping over to Sketchfab to reach out to him. :)
thanks!!
