AR The Tide
Dexter Studios × Naver
An AR exhibition for the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival promoting the VR horror film VR The Tide. As a general artist I handled 3D modeling optimization, particles, screen effects, and UI.
AR The Tide is an AR exhibition I helped build for the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, promoting Dexter Studios’ VR horror film VR The Tide. I worked as a technical artist, handling 3D model optimization, particle and screen effects, and the UI.
How it works
In the pollution control room (B39) of the Bucheon Art Bunker, visitors download an Android AR app and point the camera at objects such as a table or a window. The characters and giant fish from the film then appear, animated.
Process
We first optimized the digital assets — originally built for VR devices — to run on mobile, applying lighter shaders and an outline effect, with extra visual effects (e.g., a shimmering effect) where needed.
