Akademie deutscher Genossenschaften (ADG) Montabaur
The Akademie Deutscher Genossenschaften commissioned me to create a virtual tour of their historic castle in Montabaur, allowing visitors to experience areas not accessible to the public. Using Polycam, I created detailed 3D scans of key areas and rebuilt the castle geometry with clean topology in Maya. I then rendered a continuous 12 minute video tour in Unreal Engine for the courtyard, tower staircase, knights' hall, and wine cellar.
Tools: Polycam, Maya, Unreal Engine 5 (Lumen), Spline, voice production, Davinci Resolve, Google Nano Banana (Texture Generation)
Working with a collaborator, we recorded voiceover narration with the castle's actual on-site tour guide to ensure authenticity. I developed an interactive experience using Blueprints in Unreal Engine, featuring the video animations paired with narration and historical overlays, plus a fully navigable knights' hall. Originally designed as a mobile app, technical constraints led to adapting the project for web deployment using Spline.
