PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is the virtualization of the multi-participant interactive exhibition Sense Energetic. The 3D modeling was completed in Blender, the materials created in Substance Painter, and the real-time rendering and interactivity executed in Unreal Engine.
INSIGHT
This piece was intended to be an in-person multi-participant interactive installation. However, due to the reality created by the COVID-19 pandemic a virtualization was created in order to share the outcome of a year’s worth of research.
In order to represent Sense Energetic in a fashion that was a close to the real thing as possible the exhibition space was 3D modeled to provide a to-scale environment in which to house the three art pieces that made up the exhibition.
