3D Immersive Metaverse Space
Embracing new skills to create a virtual space for connection and playWith no prior experience in 3D design, I took on the challenge of creating an interactive virtual camping world where friends could gather, chat, and explore. This project was an opportunity to dive into a new medium, driven by my curiosity and a desire to expand my creative skillset.
PROCESSTo get started, I followed beginner-friendly Blender tutorials and sought guidance from my friend Zachary Tietje, a skilled 3D designer. I also worked closely with Maxx Berkowitz, a mentor and immersive designer. Taking these steps helped me understand the fundamentals of the 3D design and build confidence.
Once I was more comfortable, I sketched out ideas for a cozy virtual campsite and began modeling objects like rocks, trees, picnic tables, and tents. Piece by piece, I brought the space to life, ensuring it felt welcoming and playful.
IMPACTThe finished world was showcased in a temporary exhibition hosted on Nowhere, a metaverse meeting platform.
Visitors explored the space with excitement and curiosity—gathering around the virtual firepit and exploring.
