Virtual Herbaria
AR/VR Immersive Project / 2022
‘VR world of cacti’
Instructor: Yara Feghali
Softwares: Maya (3D modeling + Texturing + Animation), Unity
UCLA Summer Module
Like Joshua Tree, this project envisioned creating a virtual herbarium of cacti in the virtual world to create an immersive experience.
This was done by 3D modeling AI generated images of cacti individually and texturing them in order to create an animated cactus. These cacti were then taken to Unity, where we could plant them in Virtual Reality using the Oculus Virtual Reality headset.
