M1087 Expandable Command Vehicle

M1087 Expandable Command Vehicle

SAIC | Maya, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine

Created a real-time M1087 military command vehicle for an interactive VR demonstration experience. Beginning from engineering CAD data, the vehicle was rebuilt and optimized for standalone VR hardware while preserving the visual fidelity and proportions of the original design.

Responsibilities included exterior vehicle modeling, interior environment creation, UV layout, texture development, and material creation. Particular focus was placed on the expandable command center housed within the rear compartment of the vehicle, requiring careful spatial planning to ensure interior furnishings, equipment, and access pathways functioned correctly in both collapsed and deployed configurations.

The project demonstrates CAD-to-real-time conversion workflows, environment design within constrained spaces, and the creation of optimized VR assets for public-facing immersive experiences.
