Paris, but the streets fold like Inception. You can walk around while the city bends.
Built with Three.js and Astra 6
Making the folding city explorable is a fun extension of the Inception idea. How are you handling navigation and collisions while the streets bend?
Treating navigation as a graph problem over a dynamically deformed spatial field, so the topology stays coherent even when the geometry folds.
Collisions are handled through continuous collision detection rather than relying purely on the rendered geometry, which keeps traversal...
Really looks like inception, so cool!
Haha thank you ! Inception really was the whole vibe here - glad it came through !
Cool!

A short experimental film about the strange world of dreams — places we've never been, faces we've never seen, and memories that somehow feel real.
The film explores the idea that dreams don't follow the logic of stories. They move through fragments, emotions, places, and images, creating something we understand only while we're inside them. The narration takes the form of a quiet documentary, gradually moving from the familiar to the unsettling.
For the visuals, I drew inspiration from artworks in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access collection, using them as fragments of this dreamlike world. I then used FLORA to bring the still artworks to life with subtle motion while preserving their original character and composition.
The result is a film that sits somewhere between a documentary, a memory, and a dream.
Artwork inspirations:
- General View of Castle Ruins and of The Village of Saint
- I'll pretend to be asleep
- The Veteran in a New Field
- Large Kneeling Statue of Hatshepsut
- A Meadow Bordered by Trees
- Collar'd Pork
- La Rêvuse (The Dream)
- Snake
- Path Through a Village
- The incomparable somnabulist
- Daniel Crommelin Verplanck
- Fur Traders Descending the Missouri
- Two Men Contemplating the Moon
- Singing Bird on a Branch
Soo unique idea
What if the whisky-making process became the artwork?

Barrel staves become monumental sculptures. Their curves carry through the collector’s packaging and a 15-second film. Explore four moments from the project here, then discover the complete visual identity and campaign in the case study.
Self-initiated concept for a fictional Brazilian single malt. Creative direction, brand identity and AI-assisted visual development by Mauricio Pontual.

The way the barrel curves carry all the way through to the packaging is such a tight through line. Since this was self-initiated, did the sculptural direction come first and the 15 second film get built around it, or were they developed side by side?

The three brand pillars give the cross-fade a useful storytelling role. I’d be interested in how a returning visitor jumps straight to Estates or Parfums without repeating the entrance sequence. Is that navigation available alongside the immersive route?
