Unreal Engine 5 provides a powerful platform for creating a wide range of real-time 3D content, from games to cinematic productions. Upon downloading the engine and exploring its marketplace, a selection of assets, includes pre-built environments, characters, and advanced visual effects. film production projects within Unreal Engine 5 emphasise storytelling and visual fidelity, utilising photorealistic rendering, advanced lighting, and virtual production tools to simulate traditional filmmaking techniques in real time.
Unreal Engine 5 was downloaded and explored through experimentation with its features, focusing on constructing environments such as rocky terrains and testing camera controls for cinematic shots. This practical approach facilitated an understanding of the engine’s tools, including asset placement and scene-building techniques, providing a foundation for future animation and game development projects.
This week was mostly about coming up with an idea for the animation needed for the submission, brainstorming lead to different outcomes, However focusing on the Environment was key as this was a strength that could be utilize. however the environment is one of UE5 most powerful tools using Megascans (Fab) to browsing test project content could help improve the idea for this project.
