This 3D animation explores a speculative dark future in which climate change and rising sea levels have submerged Earth beneath an endless ocean. Torrential rain and colossal waves dominate the landscape, all engulfed in a polluted, purple haze.
Humanity's last sanctuary, a brutalist, inverted ziggurat. This megalopolis towers 2km above the ever-rising sea level. The steep angular architecture divides each floor by status, with the wealthy living atop, and in the lower levels, the less fortunate live in the polluted, dense sewer system. Here they're at the mercy of the tides, with dangers of colossal waves and flooding.
MEGALITHS
Sacred megaliths form the structural foundation of the last city. Anchored to the seabed, they ascend kilometres above the waves. These pillars recycle millions of litres of water to the ocean and prevent flooding.
Vehicle
Inspired by nautical life and designed for the stormy conditions of a flooded Earth. The organic, sleek profile boasts elegant wings and fins engineered for aerodynamic maneuverability, both above and below the water.
APARTMENTS
This solo project took me through the entire production pipeline, from worldbuilding and concept art to 3D modelling, texturing, lighting, pre-visualisation, 3D animation, VFX, compositing, and sound design.
sewers
I drew inspiration from the cyberpunk worlds of Blade Runner and Akira, as well as brutalist and Japanese architecture. I incorporated a blend of procedural and image textures to create weathered details of grime, rust and water corrosion.
