3D+AI WORLD BUILDING

This project is part of my ongoing exploration into 3D AI world building, using fast, flexible pipelines to create immersive environments. For this scene, I built an alien, dystopian, cyberpunk underworld using a mix of AI image generation, image to 3D workflows, and real photogrammetry.

I start by using KREA AI and Midjourney to design characters. From those images, I convert them into 3D models using AI to 3D tools. I then bring the meshes into Procreate, clean the geometry, and reskin the models with the original Midjourney textures to get more realism and symmetry. After that, I rig the characters, import them into Spline, add eye movement, and place them inside the environment.

For the world itself I use a mixture of my own 3D Modeling mixed with generations from Tripo3D, Meshy AI, & Polycam 3D+AI scans of real places, props, and textures. Mixing real photogrammetry with AI generated elements helps create spaces that feel both futuristic and grounded. It also keeps a bit of my retro, low poly aesthetic while still pushing realism.

The entire scene was built in a day or two, which shows how powerful these tools are becoming. With this workflow, I can quickly prototype full worlds for games, web experiences, videos, or client productions. All the assets live in my library, so I can reuse scans, characters, and props across future projects. My computer is starting to feel like a production warehouse of 3D tools, worlds, and ideas ready to be pulled into whatever comes next.
