Final Fantasy XIV | Interactive Aetheryte Model

Press Conference and Fan Event × Interactive Prop

Maxmodel created the large mechanical Aetheryte activation prop for Final Fantasy XIV's Traditional Chinese press conference and fan gathering. The model reproduces the game element while providing an interactive event experience.

3D Design × Printed and Cast Forms

3D drawings coordinated mechanism space, external details and installation points. 3D-printed patterns were used for casting the exterior, supporting structural stability and accurate connections to the powered mechanisms.

Adjustable Base × Stable Positioning

A height-adjustable base stabilizes the model after positioning and reduces the risk of tipping or unintended movement during interaction.

Custom Animation × Curved-Screen Effects

The team produced animation for a curved display, bringing the Aetheryte's visual effects into the physical exhibit.

Remote Activation × Countdown Sequence

A remote control with a countdown function supports convenient activation of the ceremony.

Collaboration × Bringing the Game into Reality

The team thanks 宇峻奧汀 for the opportunity to collaborate on the licensed title and bring this recognizable game element into physical form.
