YouTuber brings Apple TV+ 'Silo' to life with Blender & Unreal Engine 5

A YouTube video offers a glimpse into the architecture of the Apple TV+ series “Silo” by recreating most of the bunker in a 3D engine.

The video, by Eekseye, starts in the virtual confines of Blender, a popular open-source 3D computer graphics program. They model various elements, such as the central staircase of the Silo.

Each piece was carefully created, ensuring it fit with the unique aesthetic of the Silo series. Once the basic models were in place, the next step was to give them depth and realism.

Realism is achieved through texturing by applying various textures and materials to 3D models. The choice of textures isn’t random — each is selected to capture the essence of the Silo series.

With the assets textured and ready, they were transported into the world of Unreal Engine 5.

The addition of lighting and special effects further enhances the ambiance, creating a digital realm that is both mesmerizing and immersive. As the video draws to a close, viewers can see a showcase of the final environment, and it’s an impressive way to recreate a cool Apple TV+ series.

The creator made on announcement on Reddit and through Twitter, but hasn’t made the environment available to download.

On Apple TV+, Silo depicts the lives of the final ten thousand humans on the planet. Residing in the Silo, an underground shelter extending a mile deep, they are shielded from the external environment.

However, when the community’s sheriff violates a crucial law leading to fatalities, Juliette, an engineer, discovers startling revelations about their dwelling.
