Cyberpunk Salvage: Procedural 3D Asset Generation

Inspired by the economic drivers of e-commerce pricing, the vast and mysterious universe of 'Nightfall,' and the iconic visual language of 'Blade Runner,' this project focuses on generating highly detailed, procedurally created 3D assets for the cyberpunk genre. The core idea is to develop a user-friendly tool (potentially a plugin for existing 3D software or a standalone application) that allows users to generate variations of 'salvaged' or 'found' objects commonly found in dystopian futures. This could include anything from discarded holographic projectors, broken robotic parts, weathered cybernetic implants, or peculiar alien artifacts hinted at in the 'Nightfall' narrative. The procedural generation would focus on aspects like weathering, damage, missing components, and surface details that convey a sense of history and decay, mirroring the visual storytelling of 'Blade Runner.' Users could input parameters such as object type, level of damage, material preferences, and even 'story prompts' to influence the generated asset's characteristics. The niche aspect lies in the highly specific stylistic focus and the emphasis on 'salvage' as a thematic element. The low-cost implementation comes from leveraging open-source libraries for 3D manipulation and procedural generation. The high earning potential arises from the growing demand for unique 3D assets in game development, virtual reality, architectural visualization, and even for 3D printing enthusiasts looking for distinctive cyberpunk pieces. Think of selling these procedurally generated, unique assets on marketplaces like Sketchfab, Unity Asset Store, or CGTrader. The 'e-commerce pricing' inspiration can be further integrated by developing a system that analyzes market trends for specific asset types to dynamically suggest optimal pricing or generate assets that align with popular demands.
