Whispering Rose: The Myth of Chloris

Whispering Rose: The Myth of Chloris

Whispering Rose is a poetic Greek immersive experience in which you play the role of Chloris, a graceful nymph who wanders through the marvellous Champs Élysées.
While this environment may seem magical and enchanted, it may also reveal a disturbing mythological mystery...
Will you be able to solve it and become the goddess you really are?


Wearing the virtual reality helmet, the user will be catapulted into the POV of Chloris, the nymph of the Elysian fields. As Chloris, the person will have to help her other nymph sister transform into a rose, and from then on Chloris will be regarded by the other gods as Flora, the goddess of flowers.

In order to create an enchanted place such as the Elysian fields, it was necessary to create assets that did not represent flowers already known in real life, but to realise something new in fantasy. it was therefore necessary to research the form which, after attempts in different materials, was made possible thanks to the manageability of papier de soie. For the central role of the experience, i.e. the nymph, it was necessary to represent a corpse (to remain true to the original legend). To seek an aesthetic more consistent with the rest of the environment, we 3D printed an asset of a statue of a kneeling woman and covered it with a layer of paper to create an interesting texture instead of the aseptic and conventional PLA.

When the result of the assets was satisfactory, it was time for photogrammetry. With a professional camera, good lighting and PhotoCatch, we were able to create
our .obj objects.
Given the quality of the result, it was not necessary to correct the 3D models, only to reduce the number of polygons with the help of cinema 4D
