This project designed a series of Virtual Reality scenes showcasing a novel design proposal for living pillars - adding artificial lighting to make them more visually appealing.
The VR scenes were created aiming for high-fidelity and photorealistic graphics to create an immersive and convincing experience for visitors.
Features
I created five scenes to showcase how the design proposal can make living pillars more visually appealing in different seasons and weather conditions.
Scene #1: The Hub
A hub scene was created to aid the narratives and connect different locations. The hub consists of four connecting rooms. Here is also where our visitors (players) spawn.
Visitors spawn in the main room, where there are basic instructions and a model of the new design concept. Visitors can teleport across the room using controllers.
The other four rooms, walled with glass, are gates to other scenes with different weather and season settings. You can see more details in the following video tour.
Scene #2: Spring
This scene shows how the design can visually fit the city block in Spring.
Scene #3: Autumn
This scene shows how the design can visually fit the city block in Autumn.
Scene #4: Night
This scene shows how the design can visually fit the city block at night.
Scene #5: Overcast
This scene shows how the design can visually fit the city block in overcast weather.
