This project was a university assignment in the course Interactive Authoring. The scene features a museum where exhibits reveal their history through a material blending effect when the visitor gets closer.
An intro sequence introduces the space at the beginning and a Material-Layer-System is used for blending. Two Material Functions control the effect: (Distance Fading and Angle-Based Fading)
Each exhibit has a Material Instance, like the Mona Lisa, where the texture fades from the painting to a darker version with historical text.
