3D MODEL: Modart Virtual Museum and Pablo

As it name implies Modart is a Modern Art Virtual Museum created to showcase works from different artists all over the world. It was created rendering movie clips on 3DS Max and the linking them together in Adobe Flash to give the illusion of a guided tour through the museum.


Pablo is the name of the museum's host. He will welcome all visitors and show them around the galleries.

Pablo inviting people on the street to come visit the museum.

Although this project was made in mind as an interactive journey where people choose where they want to go, in this video we show one quick linear tour of the museum and one of its three galleries for illustrative purposes.
