We were commissioned by BlackLight to create a virtual reality game aka virtual reality experience of the Gary Player Golf Course for the Nedbank Golf Challenge which were held at Sun City 2018. We took some high quality images of the actual Gary Player Golf Club and scanned the Golf Club with a Matterport Scanner to capture the textures and references to create the experience as true to real life as possible.
We were given the task to create the Gary Player Golf Club hall of fame in a High-End HTC VIVE virtual reality environment as true to the Real Gary Player Club as possible.
Develop custom Virtual Reality experience from Photographs.
We developed the Virtual Reality Golf Club experience in +/- 2 weeks, which is quite a considerable achievement in regards with the detail and photo-realism of the virtual reality project.
This is an actual photograph of the Gary Player Golf Club at Sun City South Africa . We had to model the Gary Player Golf Club virtual reality game from scratch using this and other photographs.
This is a 2D image of the 3D Virtual Reality Gary Player Golf Club virtual reality experience that we have developed from the photograph on the left. (Please note once you are in VR it looks 100 times more realistic than on the 2D image).

The above Nedbank Sun City Golf Challenge Trophy is one of main features at the Gary Golf Club at Sun City and we wanted it to looks as realistic as possible in Virtual Reality. We managed to create a high fidelity photo-realistic 3D Model of the actual Nedbank Golf Challenge Trophy as seen above.
In the game players could pick up the trophy and learn more about the company that manufactured the trophy, the history of the trophy. View previous winners names engraved on the Trophy as well as see some additional information about previous winners and information about the tournament.
This is the what it looks like in Reality at the Gary Player Golf Club and to the left or below is an image of the 3D Model that we created as part of the Virtual Reality experience.
