Gulla Geechee Digital Collaboration
I worked with the CCU Athenaeum Press as a student intern from January - July of 2021 on this project, telling the history of the Gulla Geechee community here in South Carolina. I designed 3D assets and animations in Daz Character Creator, MAXON Cinema 4D, and Mixamo for use in the virtual environment Unity. Here, we showed various historic Gulla Geechee locations such as Sandy Island and Brookgreen where viewers could explore the 3D space and learn more about its history.
Unfortunately, this project has not yet been completed and has been indefinitely put on hold by the press to prioritize other projects (such as the "What If?" Mainz collaboration) so the final product is unable to be shown at this time.
