Teenage Firefighters
Illustration, game assets & 3D visualization
Wolf in Motion · Gomma · Musea
An interactive firefighting experience for Musea in Reggio Calabria, Italy, designed for children ages 6–16. Players work together to protect a virtual museum, using custom hose controllers to learn about fire behavior through play.
My contribution
I hand-painted over 100 illustrations of museum objects, then digitized and optimized the artwork for use in Unity. I also modeled, textured and rendered a fire-truck panel image for the museum display.
From painting to game asset
The hand-painted objects become dimensional paper-like cards within seven virtual museum rooms. This approachable visual language supports the project’s educational purpose, allowing young visitors to explore firefighting without the distress of a realistic emergency. Up to three players cooperate at once.
