About Project

Help plants in unpleasant environment.

PLANTAZ is virtual space similiar like any other MMORPG (GTA, WoW, etc).

Core Idea

PLANTAZ is a digital game where the player takes care of plants in a hostile environment. Using the player's mental capacity (the main commodity of the game), they solve tasks and mini-games. Working with interactivity and gamification to educate about indoor plants. Learning to take care of things for a longer period of time, maintaining focus and staying on track. At the same time, finding a beneficial routine, sticking to it, and persevering, just like plants. Emphasizing that even negative routines or a comfortable life can be changed.

Global Context

The game highlights global issues. Plants are essential in the fight against desertification, i.e., the spread of deserts. Their root systems strengthen the soil, preventing erosion caused by wind, global problems with water scarcity, how plants can help with desertification and winds, and their roots capture acidity from melting glaciers.

Storyline

The game also has a simple storyline in which, after arrival, you help to colonize an arid planet with plants. Your main task is to get the terraforming station up and running and breed your own unique plant. You have to breed it by playing the game so that it can survive in harsh conditions. You improve its defensive, absorption, and reproduction functions. Your plant then protects you from waves of pests.

Studies

Procedural plant research before PLANTAZ.

AQUARENAS

Document

Spolupráce na projektu AQUARENAS vznikla z výzkumu prostředí, růstu rostlin a procedurálních struktur.

Ve vizualizaci jsem propojil záběry z natáčení s generativními prvky, trackingem a stylizovanou florou.

Výsledkem je dokumentární i experimentální pohled na krajinu, vodu, půdu a možnosti postprodukční interpretace.

STUDIE

Visualization

Vytvořil jsem audiovizuální studii zaměřenou na obranné schopnosti psamofilních rostlin k přežití v nepříznivém prostředí.

Jak se adaptovaly k tepelným podmínkám dosahujícím 50 °C? Vyvinuly si vlastní ochranné mechanismy.

Povrch rostlin je pokryt voskovou pokožkou. Slouží proti přebytečné absorbci tepla a způsobuje reflexi slunečních paprsků.

Redukují listovou plochu a omezují výdej vody. Místo listů si vyvinuly trny, které nejsou náročné na údržbu a vedou vodu do těla rostlin.

Ve vyprahlých podmínkách je zapotřebí dostat se k podpovrchové kondenzované vodě. Rostliny tvoří komplexní kořenový systém, kterým nejen absorbují vláhu, ale také se uzemňují proti větrným vlivům.

Ve snímku jsem znázornil kromě flóry i samotné prostředí, duny a pískové převisy formované větrem.
