Nogland's Ethereal Threshold

About:

“Nogland's Ethereal Threshold” is an invitation to a space untethered from the mundane, a sanctuary of suspended reality. It’s where the tangible fades and the intangible paints the scene. Here, in this liminal haven, the air is laced with a spectral calm, and every element is a whisper of the infinite. The colors, soft yet striking, seem to float, defying gravity, crafting a tapestry that feels both tranquil and electric. In this ethereal gateway, you are adrift between the echoes of the known and the silent allure of the beyond.

Project Scope:

This piece, a blend of real-time digital artistry and interactive ingenuity, harnesses the power of Unreal Engine. Custom blueprints are meticulously crafted to sync with TouchDesigner, setting the stage for a fluid visual journey. Central to the experience is a magnificent 66-foot LED screen that springs to life as observers approach, with two LiDAR sensors capturing their proximity. These sensors send data to a local server, which then communicates with the Unreal Engine, turning physical movement into digital dynamism. Additionally, there's the possibility to integrate psychedelic post-effects through TouchDesigner. This would add another layer of visual depth, transforming the animations with vibrant, mind-bending elements, and offering a mesmerizing, ever-changing canvas in response to audience interaction.

Tools Used:

Cinema 4D
Unreal Engine 5
TouchDesigner
