Flood plain
Inspired by the flood plains of my hometown, Ana’s first world is a landscape of inheritance, water and survival.

PROCESSResearch, concept, 3D production and Unreal Engine
OUTCOMEFeatured and shortlisted creative work
Culture changes with the worlds we inhabit.
Pamana Futura translates Filipino cultural memory into speculative garments, environments and Digital Relics. “Pamana Futura” appears in Baybayin throughout the collection. It is a visual identity, a cultural code and a message for Ana to decipher.
Three worlds, one search for origin
ANA / BOOK 1Dune world
A Morocco-inspired world of heat, distance and ceremony. Ana moves beyond familiar cultural terrain.
Far future

Research translated into new forms
RESEARCH / HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP / 3D / UNREALThe project draws from Filipino clothing, textiles, objects, folklore and visual archives. This research creates a living vocabulary for new silhouettes, materials and symbols.
Generative AI supported early ideation, prompt iteration, composition and experimental animation studies. Final garments, relics, environments, lighting and renders were created through the 3D production workflow and assembled in Unreal Engine.
Cultural research
Filipino dress, weaving, objects, pattern and image archives establish the project’s cultural vocabulary.
Human-guided ideation
Prompt tests and visual comparisons explore silhouette and mood while keeping authorship and reference selection in the loop.
Textile translation
Source patterns move through digitization, garment application and material testing before entering the final 3D workflow.
3D production
Garments and environments are modeled, surfaced, lit and assembled in a real-time Unreal Engine pipeline.
