Greens in 3D

Three mini golf courses inspired by Vietnamese landmarks — One Pillar Pagoda, Hai Van Pass, and Nghinh Luong Pavilion.

Overview

Project overview

This project is a 3D model of three golf courses, each inspired by a famous location in Vietnam. The first course takes design elements from the One Pillar Pagoda, reflecting its unique structure and peaceful surroundings. The second is shaped by the curves and height of Hai Van Pass, giving a sense of challenge and beauty. The third is based on Nghinh Luong Pavilion, with open space and elegant details. Each course blends natural scenery with cultural landmarks to create a unique and meaningful experience.

Modeling

The modeling process began with researching each location to capture the key features of the landmarks. I focused on shaping the terrain to reflect the unique characteristics of each place, such as the One Pillar Pagoda’s distinct structure, the winding curves of Hai Van Pass, and the open space around Nghinh Luong Pavilion. Instead of trees, I emphasized elements like rocks, pathways, and water features to bring the courses to life. The goal was to create an immersive and realistic environment inspired by Vietnam’s beauty and cultural landmarks.

Final Product

The Golf Courses are Ready to Play

The final result is a set of three golf courses, each inspired by a different landmark in Vietnam. The One Pillar Pagoda course features a unique structure surrounded by carefully shaped terrain. The Hai Van Pass course captures the winding curves and elevation changes of the pass, creating a challenging layout. The Nghinh Luong Pavilion course offers wide, open spaces with serene water features. Each course blends natural beauty with cultural elements to create a visually striking and immersive experience.
