Abstract

My thesis is a small treehouse village, built using hyper modularity and designed to style-match Thomas Kinkade’s art. Dynamic materials are integrated into the scene as part of style match. The village, human-sized, is constructed on a massive ancient tree. Magical elements are incorporated throughout the village, brought to life through dynamic materials.
