TWOL Chinook Immersive Experience FOR RELATIVE SCALE

— Tennessee Wings of Liberty Museum

I’m proud to have been part of this experience — a permanent immersive tribute built inside a real, combat-veteran MH-47 Chinook helicopter at the new Tennessee Wings of Liberty Museum, which opened in 2026, honoring the 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers) and the 5th Special Forces Group (Green Berets). Few projects carry this kind of weight, and getting to tell this story through motion and light meant a great deal to me.

As CG/VFX Supervisor, I created the visual content for the experience, from previz through final delivery — the product of a close partnership between Pixeldust Studios and Relative Scale, who transformed our delivered content into a fully realized, walk-in physical exhibit inside the aircraft itself.

At the heart of the piece is an immersive, cinematic mission built in Unreal Engine 5 with three synchronized virtual CGI cameras — their outputs designed to play together in perfect sync and carry the viewer on a single journey, surrounded by richly detailed environments and shifting light and atmosphere that place you inside the aircraft and the moment. The rest is best experienced in person.

Beyond the animation, I produced the high-resolution matte-painting backdrops and digital set extensions for the large wall and projection surfaces — including a full digital recreation of the Afghanistan terrain — working in tandem with, and under the art direction of, Relative Scale. Built with a hybrid AI production approach for real scale and authenticity, every frame was hand-finished, true to the story, and mapped cleanly to the physical surfaces.

It’s the kind of project I love most — where craft, technology, and a story worth telling all come together in one room. My sincere thanks to the entire Relative Scale team, and to Luke Klein in particular, for the collaboration — and to Pixeldust Studios for the partnership throughout.

Kyries brand new KAI-1 shoe photoreal 360 product rendering using Unreal Engine 5 (non-AI) :

Furthermore, live-action components and 3D animation were expertly combined to display the shoes on a range of people through Nuke tracking. In a fully rendered 3D environment, the shoes were meticulously designed and textured in 3D before being composited onto AI-generated 3D models. Kyrie's distinctive dribbling technique was painstakingly replicated using rotoscoping and motion tracking to guarantee realism, maintaining the fluidity and accuracy of his motions in each frame. Variations of clone animations were generated using Stable Diffusion but final shot composited using Nukes powerful 3d system.
