This month I was really happy to participate in Epic Bootcamp Animation 2023 run by Epic Games, UT-Hub, INCAS, Prometheus Lab, Game Ready, ObjectIF3D. It was a fascinating opportunity for me to learn many useful technics for rigging, animation, lighting and post-production in Unreal Engine. And certainly I had lots of fun creating my project.
For my story I imagined an explorer, who achieved a goddess’ secret shrine. An ancient magic restored ruins of the gates and one is welcomed to receive the goddess’ gift.
I used Unreal Engine for making all the composition, vfx and post processing, Mixamo animation and Houdini for the gates.
Here is a couple of videos I uploaded in the beginning, when I started creating a story, which conceptually changed in the end.
Many thanks to Epic Games, UT-Hub and INCAS for giving this unique opportunity!
