Tiles Revisited (lot2.tilesrevisited.xyz) 2024
Tiles Revisited is a web based simulation that revitalizes an ancient tile by re-imagining the way we can experience it online using Unity WebGL. Resembling a labyrinth, a single tile will be transformed from a 2D image into an extruded 3D landscape that one can navigate and be immersed in. This style of linear storytelling looks to the future of archiving by inviting the world into an accessible interactive way of learning the history of a single ancient tile. The elements that serve to educate are audio docents and original soundtracks. Tiles Revisited is a long term project that I plan to continue developing into a 3D archive and this project covers Lot #2, the second chosen tile of Tiles Revisited.
Tools: Unity, Houdini Side FX, Substance Painter, Substance Designer
