When I started developing my video game featuring Dominican environments and objects, I quickly realized something: there were very few, almost no 3D assets that truly represented our Caribbean culture online.
This made me reflect on the importance of creating digital spaces where our culture and heritage can live in new formats — not to replace the life of the original object or place, but to capture its authenticity and keep its essence alive in the digital world.
Photogrammetry became essential to my process because it gave me exactly what I was looking for: the ability to capture the essence and soul of the places and objects that are part of our everyday life, so that my game would feel authentic.
That’s how Objetos del Caribe: Dominican Photogrammetry Archive was born 🏝📸
A living library that will keep growing as I scan more objects, so that other creators, XR artists, and developers can use them to tell our stories with truth and heart.
By sharing this archive, I hope to help keep our culture alive in the digital world, one object at a time.
