The project explores religious megastructures and their oppressive scale. Extreme contrasts between figures and architecture, repeated monumental forms, contrasting light and volumetric fog create smallness, awe and a sense of being dominated.

研究参考:尺度、入口与光Research: scale, threshold and light
参考了什么,从中提取了哪些设计原则。What I studied, and which design principles came out of it.
The visual direction came from monumental brutalist architecture, decayed organic structures and ceremonial spaces. I was interested in how towering vertical forms and vast interiors reduce the human figure to a fragile scale — repeated arches, monoliths, suspended objects and concentrated shafts of light suggest ritual, mystery and an unseen higher presence.
Brainstorm头脑风暴:从一个宗教出发Brainstorm: starting from a religion
The research centres on a religion and branches five ways: narrative (ascension used as control; those who fail are recycled as rejects), ritual (living sacrifice, extraction through pipes, refining and the altar), environmental style (Chinese, megastructural technology, mechanical ascension), space (surreal megastructures and mechanical bodies outside; surreal halls and organs inside) and a religious symbol system. The fusion of flesh and machinery grew out of the extraction-pipe and mechanical-body branches.

Observation: a small figure faces an immense sea and sky; open space evokes solitude and makes distance tangible. Applied: figures act as a scale reference; their backs, positions and orientation point to the distant gateway.

我的场景My scene外景局部:朝圣者背对镜头,走向远处的巨门。Exterior detail: pilgrims with their backs to us walk toward the distant gateway.
Observation: a monumental structure at the entrance marks a special place; the interior creates a shared focus. Applied: clarify the passage from gateway to interior device, so entering the sanctuary is part of the pilgrimage.

我的场景My scene巨门模型:竖向沟槽与圆形标记,立在圣域入口。The gateway model: vertical grooves and a circular mark at the sanctuary entrance.
Observation: the oculus admits daylight from above, creating a distinct bright area inside. Applied: only a faint glow outside; the entrance reveals part of the core; the interior shows the full device and light source.

The pilgrims believe the light deep within the sanctuary is a response from an unknown presence.
世界观World升井:以飞升为名的宗教The Ascension Well: a religion in the name of ascension
This religion worships the Ascension Well, a vertical shaft into the god's abyss. The god never appears, leaving only an empty throne: the broken ring that recurs throughout. The church uses ascension as a means of control: the chosen have their life and memory drawn through pipes into the core, and those who fail to ascend are recycled as rejects. The pilgrims cross the wilderness toward the gateway and look up beneath the suspended device, waiting. They believe they are witnessing a miracle; what the scene holds are the traces of extraction.
They cross the wilderness and broken ring-shaped ruins, following a faint light toward the gateway. Beyond the threshold, tall walls close off the open sky and a suspended device emerges; movement gives way to stillness. Reaching the core does not resolve the mystery — the device hangs beyond reach, and the pilgrims can only stop, look up and wait.
接近圣域Approach人物分散行进,远处的巨门引导方向。情绪:敬畏、期待。Scattered figures advance toward the distant gateway. Mood: awe, anticipation.
跨越入口Cross the threshold视野收窄,开放的天空被高墙遮蔽,装置开始露出。The view narrows; walls obscure the sky; the device begins to appear.
面对核心Face the core人物停留、聚集,抬头等待。Figures pause, gather, look up and wait.
The religion's central image is the Ascension Well, a vertical shaft into the god's abyss. I designed five symbols for it (vertical rift, converging roots, the bearer, hollow crown, spine tower) and planned how they appear on gates, altars, recycling halls, idols and objects. The gateway, rings and pipes in both scenes come from this system.

Meaning: the Ascension Well itself, a vertical entrance to the god's abyss; two masses form a gate around a well-like void. In the scene: a vertical slit of light between the two halves of the gateway.
Meaning: all life, resources and memory are extracted and drawn into the core well. In the scene: pipes on the ground, meant to read as flesh fused with machinery.
Initial sketches explored the architectural silhouette, human scale and the ritual focal point. These became Blender blockouts to test spatial proportion, camera composition and visual hierarchy before detailed modelling began.

达到预期Worked
人与建筑的尺度反差、冷暖光与体积雾营造的距离感,以及圆环符号在内外两个场景中的延续。
The contrast in scale between figures and architecture, the distance created by warm and cold light with volumetric fog, and the ring motif carried across both scenes.
✕
没有达到Not yet
部分管道的设计。原计划通过管道的分布营造肉体与机械结合的效果,但目前在视觉上还没有达到这个目标。
Some of the pipe design. The plan was to use the distribution of pipes to suggest flesh fused with machinery, but visually it does not reach that goal yet.
下一步:入口过渡Next: the threshold
在巨门附近补一个过渡镜头:两侧保留门体轮廓,远景先露出部分悬浮装置,进入后才看清完整核心。
Add a transition shot at the gateway: door slabs frame both sides, part of the device shows in the distance, and the full core is revealed only after entering.
下一步:人物行为Next: figure behaviour
让人群从分散行进转为有序聚集,朝向核心,姿态明确表达停留与等待。
Turn scattered movement into an ordered gathering, facing the core, with poses that clearly read as pausing and waiting.
下一步:材质关联Next: material continuity
石材、竖向沟槽与风化程度在内外两个场景中保持关联,让符号的变化更可信。
Keep stone, vertical grooves and weathering related across both scenes so the motif's change reads as believable.
