The project is a 3D animated VR short film using Unity's VR engine. The film features my fan fiction War Hammer 40k Regiment. My motivation for this project is to expand my skill set with Blender 4.0 and learn the basics of Virtual Reality. My intention for the project is to communicate a visceral experience of situations in war where the people fighting aren't in control of their own survival. I want to communicate this experience, because I feel that people who haven't been in war tend to have a naive main character perception of themselves when they imagine themselves in a war. As such, I wanted to capitalize on this main character perception through VR to challenge the naive aspect of this perception.
