The concept of my work, Discovering The War Unseen, is about how the individual can experience a story in the Christian Bible in a conceptual and creative way. This Virtual Reality experience will allow the viewer to discover the aftermath of Revelation. The story is mentioned in Revelation 12: 7-12 from the Christian Bible, and is also inspired by the Book of Enoch. The dragon and serpent skulls is inspired from the book of Revelation and Genesis. The weapons throughout the environment is from the angels that fought in the war. My goal is that this will create a virtual reality experience for the viewer to find archeological evidence of this biblical story. I hope for this to be used as a creative tool for biblical education for others to learn and enjoy. Special Thanks to Klee Miller and Yamin Xu!
The softwares used to create this piece was Maya, Zbrush, Adobe 3D substance Painter, and Unity. I did everything that you see here.
This piece is also viewed in virtual reality. The video above shows how the viewer can view it in VR. The viewer can interact in the virtual reality environment by picking up and dropping the shovel, notebook, and water bottle. In the environment, there are weapons such as swords and shields mentioned in the Book of Enoch. Lastly, there will be a few bones of the wing from an angel that have fought in this war. The bones of the serpent, dragon, and the angel wing will be as biblically accurate as possible for any of its original texts. All over this environment, there is gear from archeologists such as shovels, goggles, and brushes to indicate that this is a site that archeologists are discovering. Special thanks Klee Miller who was my VR Assistant!
