The lights ended up having a few issues in the render farm so I ended up having to edit a few things in terms of the lights but overall I am extremely happy with how it turned out and I feel like it is an effective and atmospheric experience.

When first modelling scene 1 I started with a plane as the floor which I then … Continue reading “Developments of Assets and Scenes”

One of the key considerations I had when designing and modelling my immersive design was cyber sickness and making the user feel comfortable and safe in the digital space. One way I considered this in all my designs was making sure that the scene was completely full of assets, and I also made sure that focus was being lightly steered to certain assets and areas of the scene constantly so that there wasn’t too much silent time in each scene … Continue reading “Navigation Considerations”

I am planning … Continue reading “Design Inspiration and Development Considerations”
