The Liminal Rotunda

A sci-fi environment study exploring liminal brutalist architecture and the silent presence of hidden technology.

The project began with a MidJourney image used as a spatial reference and visual starting point, which I then reinterpreted and developed further in Blender. My goal was not to simply reproduce a generated image, but to rebuild the environment with my own sense of composition, scale, structure, and mood.

I was drawn to the idea of a vast circular chamber somewhere between a brutalist sanctuary, an abandoned research facility, and a machine temple. The glowing central column acts as the visual and emotional core of the scene, while the small figures help emphasize the immense scale and quiet unease of the environment.

Created using MidJourney, Hunyuan 3.1, Blender, and my own imagination.
