'Faerie' - Unreal Engine 5.4 short film

Hello there,

It's been a while. 2024 so far has been fiilled with lots of project work and I recently finished my biggest solo project of my career, which was a hybrid fashion show with Unreal Engine. After working on that for quite a while, I finally felt the urge to get back to Unreal for personal work, and whenever I do so, I try to find a way to test something new or something I haven't done before. And so I came to RealityCapture becoming free to use with Unreal Engine as of 5.4. I'd used it before, but now it's free I allowed myself to go a bit bigger and I went for a walk in my local forest, photoscanning every interesting treeroot I could find. When placing a metahuman next to that high resolution photoscanned model, I suddenly got an idea. An idea about faeries.

There is a whole lot of metahuman editing, marvelous designer simulating and niagara particle system-ing going on here. Let me know what you like about this and if you would like to see some evil spirits in a next video. I might just revisit this Faerie on her adventures yet.

Cheers,
Sam
