Solo Original IP
PIPELINE
High-to-Low Poly · PBR
REAL-TIME ENGINE
Unreal Engine 5 (Lumen)
02 — CORE DIRECTIVE
“How does architecture adapt when built around the tide, not against it?”
Modular Silt Pod Kit
Multi-scale architectural pods engineered to assemble into dense, stilted coastal settlements.
Form Follows Adaptation
Rain-shedding brims, net-cushioning guards, and salt-crusted adobe convey resilience without exposition.
Solo High-to-Low Poly
Organic ZBrush sculpts retopologized clean for Substance PBR texturing and real-time UE5 lighting.
