Introduction:
world of nogland.
The world of nogland has been a continuous work of creation for the past 10 years. Over the last year something clicked in myself and I was able to begin merging multiple parts of nogland into a single experience.

Midjourney 3D Roughness Texture #1
These were used across the environment to give a subtle detail/imperfections.
Midjourney 3D Roughness Texture #2
These were used across the environment to give a subtle detail/imperfections.
Midjourney 3D Roughness Textures #3
These were used across the environment to give a subtle detail/imperfections.
Midjourney 3D Roughness Upscaled
1024x1024 final texture output before processing.

Midjourney Outputs for 3D space.
Roughness, imperfections, and normal maps.
These were all using in tandem for the final animation.

Midjourney Look and Feel
Look and feel textures for the environment.
*None of these made the final animation.

Best color of pink?
This was the pink that was subsequently used across the entire environment.
Loudly AI music generation
Loudly was used to create the final audio.
Final audio consists of 3 different Loudly generations that were combined.

Loudly's overwhelming amount of potential animation sounds.
Chat-GPT's description of a creative liminal space.
Chat-GPT was used as the finishing touch to get more ideas and inspiration/potential rabbit holes to explore.
I ended up adding some of these elements into the final work based on Chat-GPT's list.
- Esoteric symbols
- "A Play on Time"
- Floating or levitating Objects
- Distorted or Warped shapes

"Esoteric Symbols" #1
Midjourney Generation using Chat-GPT's advice for elements to include in a creative liminal space.
- This was used very subtly in the animation.

"Esoteric Symbols" #2
Midjourney Generation using Chat-GPT's advice for elements to include in a creative liminal space.
-This was nixed from the animation, still cool in my opinion.

Midjourney Black and white "Decals"
These were generated to give the world even more depth by layering 3D decals on top of one another.
"Decal 00"
Midjourney output with processing.
"Decal 01"
Midjourney output with processing.
Shader Development
Midjourney outputs used as texture maps in the roughness channel. Creating subtle imperfections and detailing.
Asking Chat-GPT write a prompt for a recursive pattern to generate in Midjourney.
This pattern/texture would then be used to give the scene even more depth and color variations.
Exploration of Recursive patterns using p5js
The outputs of these would be used as texture maps in 3D, but ultimately didn't make the final cut.

Midjourney Texture processing
Making Midjourney outputs tileable and seamless.
Scene scale check
The beginning of Unreal Engine 5 scene layout.
Unreal Engine 5 MetaHuman rig R&D
Rig & Facial Rig exploration.
Scene look, feel, and block out.
The first iteration of compiling all of the AI assets into a single world.
