I am extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to work with an amazing team at my university (Savannah College of Art and Design) to develop a VR Experience which will host this year's VR Theater for ACM SIGGRAPH. "Tahul" is an experience that gives the player the power of a god, by being able to utilize a device from an ancient civilization the player can alter the environment and control elements. All of this before the player is transported into the VR Theater where he can see the portals displaying and then interact with all the selected project by SIGGRAPH for the 2020's conference. I took part in the entire process of production, from initial pitches of the experience to full on asset development. While I did contribute on the narrative and level design on the planning of the main environment, I mostly focused on creating 3D models and textures that were both used to populate the environment and for the player to interact with. I am also lucky enough to have worked on two of the main assets used, the device the player controls and the portals showcasing the selected projects. The whole experience works within Unreal Engine. The models were created in Maya and ZBrush. Textures and materials created in Substance Painter and Substance Designer. Since this year's conference has moved to virtual due to COVID, the experience has been released online on Steam for free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1370510/Tahul/
