This project is a combination of online games that creates an online concert for Ibey. Ibey will travel through a portal to the world of the concert in the online game scene. The concert serves as an entrance, providing the audience with an interactive experience from “watching music” to “being in the music”, transporting them to the side of the Ibey people and allowing them to have an intimate contact with them.

Process

During the 3D modeling process, various tools and software, such as CINEMA 4D and OCTANE RENDER, were utilized. The modeling was done step by step according to the scene’s idea and continued to be fine-tuned and improved until the desired effect was achieved. Some special effects techniques, such as lighting and texture maps, were employed to enhance the realism and visual effect of the scene.
