For me to build my own immersive dark ride… I needed content.
After developing the story—a thrilling temple exploration in search of the mythical land of “Oasis”—I had to create all the visuals and media that would bring the ride to life.
Unreal Engine
I used Unreal Engine, Blender (to model the projection screen), and nDisplay (for perspective correction through squinching) to create a high-quality, realistic video perfectly aligned with the perspective of the moving ride vehicle. The virtual environment, generously sponsored by Scans Factory, provided a foundation for the project, while I modeled the terrain, designed the ride path, and meticulously lit the entire scene.
