Description:
Echoes originated from an exploration of creating a seamlessly looping natural environment. I challenged myself to create my first complete 3d character design; learning to rig, cloth, simulate and animate the character for Unreal.

Hey there @SeijiAnderson,

Hope you’re doing well and having a wonderful week so far!

Something about this video felt like the intro to a horror game where the player was suffering from madness. The looping and chasing after the creature-lady felt almost like the viewer was lost. Really creative video :slight_smile: Love how every detail felt intentional and thoroughly thought out.

Thanks for sharing and good luck with the challenge!
