Memories of Pingcheng
Meeting a city again, between mountains and rivers
In development
WhyWhy I made it
Linking places, eras, records and personal visits, to explore how the memory of a city can be told digitally
WhatWhat it became
A full-screen 3D city with terrain, walled streets, temples and county nodes, where nine sites open from the scene or the index
Six era scrolls link to the site records, alongside then-and-now photos of Huayan Temple and a timber-frame model you can take apart
The 3D is an artistic rendering, not a historical reconstruction
RoleMy part
Made solo: the idea, research, design and building are all mine, done with AI, and still in progress

Pingcheng WorldIn progress
Northern Wei Pingcheng around AD 492, generated entirely in three.js code and rendered into a film segment of about a minute, about a city both glorious and brief
Datong Under HeavenFinished film
A code-rendered short in white-model projection: from one light at the Northern Wei palace to over fifty thousand buildings lighting up by the year they were built, with a source for every number
