The Crystal Pearl | Kyra vd Dries

A 3D environment Project in Unreal by Nuriya Bouwman and me.
Composer & Sound designer : Juliette Korthals Altes

The Crystal pearl is an environment inspired by a Chinese fairytale about helping others first, and how they might help you in return. We have translated themes from the story through different area's in a surreal environment.

The Story behind the Area's

The Town Area

We designed the town to look cosy and warm, while trying to give some forshadowing to the garden, through the different lantern colours, barrels or oranges, and a fiddle shop.
We also really wanted to guide the player through the environment by using gates and tunnels.

The Garden Gate

The colour is more blue here, like the dragon area in the garden. And you can see the first garden gate, that transitions the viewer from a more familiar town to a magical garden incased by glass.
