Shennong: Taste of Illusion

About this VR Animation?

Shennong:Taste of Illusion is Pinta studios' second VR animation. (The first one is 'The Dream Collector')

In this work, we hope to create an unprecedented environment in ancient China through VR, with a strong sense of immersion in multiple illusions and an exciting action play.

I believe this is a very interesting VR film experience.

Fortunately, the film has also been nominated and shown at dozens of festivals, including the Venice Film Festival, the raindance Film Festival and the Kaohsiung Film Festival.

Story of this VR Animation

In ancient times, Shennong explores the forest deep in the valley to collect unknown plants with unique tastes and effects. A glamorous flower seduces Shennong and he is poisoned by tasting the petal. Shennong falls in illusion as the flower turns into a mythical beast, which torches Shennong to his last breath. In the despairing darkness, Shennong is revived by a secret friend. With the awakening superpower, he conquers the beast, breaks the illusion and acquires another valuable plant.
