Author’s comment:
AQJRO PROJECT continues to evolve as an independent cinematic 3D universe and an ongoing research and development project focused on modern CG production technologies.
At the current stage, the main focus is the modernization of the experimental space station, which serves as the central environment of the project.
The modernization process includes rebuilding and optimizing existing assets, improving topology and geometric quality, updating materials and Look Dev, and bringing individual elements into a consistent production standard.
At the same time, the project is gradually transitioning toward a more structured OpenUSD-based production pipeline using Autodesk Maya and Arnold. A dedicated AQJRO Asset Standard (AAS) is being developed to define asset naming, structure, metadata, USD layers, materials, and scene assembly principles.
One of the main goals of this modernization is to move from a collection of individual 3D models toward a unified, production-oriented digital environment, where each asset can function as an independent and reusable component of the larger system.
The Experimental Station remains the primary development environment for testing new approaches to modeling, Look Dev, USD composition, asset organization, and cinematic production.
The modernization of the project is currently in progress.
