Project Gaia

I'm thrilled to present Project GAIA, a captivating sci-fi short film created in Unreal Engine and Maya that takes you on an extraordinary journey with an AI protagonist. As the world faces an uncertain future, our AI protagonist embarks on a mission to find a new home for humanity.

Traversing the vastness of space, our AI hero encounters various challenges and finally discovers a promising planet. However, unforeseen sandstorms pose significant obstacles, forcing the AI to patiently await the perfect moment for terraforming.

Project Gaia was made in Unreal Engine 5.0, Maya, Live Link App and I also used some assets from Quixel and the Epic Store, including the awe-inspiring Mission to Minerva assets.

I'm excited to participate in The Rookie Awards for the first time and share this project. I created the Project Gaia for a 3DCamp in Libel Academy and inspired by the actual dilemma about the AI, and maybe someday, this new tech could be more helpful than most think. I'm eager to join the community of talented emerging artists and be part of this prestigious competition.
