This project was made in collaboration with over 100 students, from different areas of study available at SCAD to design and create a fully immersive VR experience traveling through space. Think of a Disney VR ride, with actors first guiding you through the "boarding process", and then launching into space while listening to a relaxing monologue about creativity and a light show.
I was responsible for the creation and optimization of the tree's around the entire environment. The tree's had to be made a certain way, in order to keep the frame rate down while maintaining the illusion.
We had a featured article in the Unreal Engine website!

The dramatic writing team was in charge of storytelling and the monologue narrated by Alice Krige.
The production design team created the stage and platform of the space station.
