3D Gallery for Shelter

Shelter tells the story of Rin, a 17-year-old girl who lives her life inside of a futuristic simulation completely by herself in infinite, beautiful loneliness. Each day, Rin awakens in virtual reality and uses a tablet which controls the simulation to create a new, different, beautiful world for herself. Until one day, everything changes, and Rin comes to learn the true origins behind her life inside a simulation.

» i could never find the right way to tell you; have you noticed ive been gone?; cause i left behind the home that you made me; but i will carry it along; mm its a long way forward; so trust in me; ill give them shelter like youve done for me; and i know im not alone; youll be watching over us; until youre gone; >when im older ill be silent beside you; I know that words are not enough; and they wont need to know our names or our faces; but they will carry on for us

Finished Product

There are 16 original voxel models. All with drawn texture from all sides. You can zoom in to see the details. Each model, depending on the complexity, took me from 20 minutes to 4 hours. The rendering took about 3 hours. I spend about half of the time getting familier with all the tools to create models, textures, as well as rendering. In the end, I learned what I was eager to learn for years and create something I am proud of.

Planning

The Art of Exhibition

I intended to create a collection of individual objects that is relevent to the original music radio. Each object should have a cubical 3D model with texture. I can render each of them after applied texture.

The final display of a collection will look like this: The assembled object will create a 3D scene for the story.

Object Design and Inspiration

A Screenshot from the Original Music Video

This is Rin’s bear from the original music video. It is a reuccuring symbol throughout the video, at the same time, it is the last gift that Rin recieved from her father: also probably the last gift she recived from Earth. Besides the iPad, the bear is the only thing that she held walking into the spaceship.

There are more images of them from different angles:

Her IPad has the ability to create everything in the virtual reality by drawing.

It also can recieve messages from Earth. However, the time passes quickly. She have not recieved any message for a long time.

There is also a design of the spaceship in the video for less than a second. Therefore, I used this image to model the spaceship on 3D object-creation softwares.

END.
