Bear Island, a VR experience in Unreal Engine

VR Bear Island: Interactive 3D Environment
VR Bear Island is an immersive virtual reality experience set on a forested island inhabited by a bear.
The environment was built entirely in Unreal Engine and optimized to be played in PC VR on the Meta Quest Pro.
🧩 Stack
Unreal Engine: VR template foundation & environment build
Blueprints: Visual scripting for interactions & gameplay mechanics
Niagara: Particle systems & visual effects
Chaos: Real-time physics and destruction simulation
Substance Painter: Custom 3D texturing and material
Played on a Meta Quest Pro
🐻 What I built
VR interaction patterns: navigation, a VR Grab component, physics.
Physics simulation: Chaos destruction, buoyancy on water.
Living environment: fire material, plants moving in the wind, Niagara particles.
Logic, lighting and sound: Blueprints for lights and animations, sound cues.
