SkAIBox Visions XR

I am excited to share my latest personal project, "SkAIBox - Visions XR," which combines my love for music and artwork with the latest AI technology showcased in a customized Unreal Engine viewer. Using the innovative Skybox tool developed by Blockade Labs, which utilizes ethically sourced AI, I created over 100 stunning skyboxes that provide a breathtaking backdrop for my music.

Collaborating with talented producers Brightwing, Seven D, and Drop D, I played on three beautiful bamboo flute songs with electronica and Tibetan bowls that blend seamlessly with the visuals to create a 10-minute repeating music journey. To bring my vision to life, I enlisted the help of my old game design team member from UnrealPHD, Jurij Gantar who developed the Unreal Engine blueprint that allows me to customize each slide's length, fade-out transition, and texture array selection. I added camera lag delay, and some post-process adjustments, as well as an auto-rotation setting that can adjust the skyboxes rotation speed.

This project marks my first collaboration with Jurij again on Unreal Engine development since we created UnrealPHD Introduction to Unreal Development Kit (UDK). I am thrilled to share this project and proud of what we've accomplished in a short amount of time, which can be used as a tool to create interactive 360 VR and Video experiences with music fast and easily.

Thank you, #blockadelabs, for developing such a powerful and innovative tool that allows me to explore new creative avenues.I've also successfully tested the UE5 Panorama plugin for rendering 360 images back out of UE. The skyboxes come out perfectly and seamless with any new 3d models, particles, images, etc. that we add to the 3d environment. The app will be followed up with a printed XR book, that uses QR codes to activate AR features and downloadable music.

A 360 Video for Youtube was my first test of the skyboxes in Adobe Premiere using the VR feature, and was a predecessor to creating it in Unreal Engine.
