Nihon Legacy is a cultural exploration application developed in Unreal Engine, focused on the interactive discovery of iconic Japanese sites.

Designed for mobile and VR platforms, the project features real-time optimized 3D environments combining faithful reconstruction, storytelling, and intuitive user interaction.

Through this project, I aim to make Japanese heritage accessible in an immersive and educational way, blending artistic direction, technical performance, and user experience.

The project is developed independently, covering all aspects from design to implementation.

Selection of architectural and urban environment visualizations produced earlier in my career using 3ds Max and V-Ray, focused on real-world locations, residential buildings and urban-scale projects.

This work strengthened my understanding of architectural forms, lighting and spatial composition, which now directly informs my real-time and interactive work in Unreal Engine.

Tokyo Shop is a personal 3D environment study created in Unreal Engine, focusing on architectural details and materials inspired by everyday urban buildings in Japan.

The project explores realistic proportions, surface wear,
and visual balance within a compact environment.
