Created in Unreal Engine 5
Inspired by retro-futurist architecture and calm, meditative design. This concept imagines a serene pool pavilion from an optimistic future, where light, water, and minimalist forms offer a peaceful retreat from the everyday.

This scene was created using 3D software, no generative AI was used.
This 3D environment was firstly modelled in Cinema4D to shape the foundations of the scene. From there, I brought the world to life in Unreal Engine 5, where lighting, materials, and rendering added depth, vibrancy, and an immersive quality to the final result. I also composed the ambient music and sound effects in Ableton Live.
The aesthetic draws heavily on early-2000s influences, including Y2K design language and Frutiger Aero-inspired palettes. I wanted to capture that hopeful, sleek vision of the future that was so prominent in 2000s-era media and product design.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, Promised Futures combines pastel lighting, sculptural geometry, and subtle environmental details to create a space that feels timeless and restorative. It is part of my ongoing exploration of digital calm and how virtual environments can soothe and inspire.
